Digital soldier

Dive into an incredibly immersive and epic adventure this weekend on PlayStation 3 with TRON: Evolution, the prequel story to the highly anticipated cinematic blockbuster, TRON: Legacy, due in cinemas December 2010.

Other great games hitting stores this weekend on PlayStation 3 include Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, Splatterhouse, Def Jam Rapstar and Maijin And The Forsaken Kingdom. Just a few reasons to stay indoors this weekend.

Time to race

You can enjoy a taste of Split/Second: Velocity on PSP with a downloadable demo from PlayStation Store. Get a speedy sample of racing through a made-for-TV city rigged and ready for you to trigger destruction. Throw your opponents off the road and clear your way to victory.

Download the demo for Split/Second: Velocity directly to your PSP from PlayStation Store.

Fingers steady...

It's almost time to throw with Top Darts, the game that uses PlayStation Move to accurately replicate the intensity of being a professional darts player. A brand new trailer hits PlayStation Store this week to demonstrate how holding the PlayStation Move motion controller between your fingers is almost exactly like holding a dart.

Download the Top Darts trailer from PlayStation Store and get ready to hit the bullseye with PlayStation Move.
