Weekend Essentials 70

Spend your weekend at war in Homefront or on the tennis court in Top Spin 4. Read on to see what else is new on PlayStation this weekend...

A war on every Homefront
Homefront on PlayStation 3 plunges you into a first person shooter where a ragtag band of resistance fighters are the only hope against powerful foreign forces who have invaded United States soil. Your way of life is close to annihilation - can you survive?

Anyone for tennis in Top Spin 4?
You can get a sweet serving of tennis with Top Spin 4 on PS3 - fancy a slice? Savour some sporting action with 25 pros and legends, including Roger Federer, Boris Becker and Andre Agassi. Then ace the competition using the PlayStation Move motion controller for unbeatable shot accuracy.

Available in stunning stereoscopic 3D which offers unparalleled visual depth, smash weekend boredom away with Top Spin 4.

Go gangster with Yakuza 4
The deadly Japanese underworld awaits in Yakuza 4. This adult themed PS3 title is rife with danger and temptation, where the bright lights of the big city lure in the unwary. And if the gritty scenarios get too much for you, there's always a spot of karaoke to enjoy.

Experience life on the dark side with Yakuza 4 this weekend.

Become a legend with PlayStation Move Heroes
Play as Sly, Bentley, Jak, Ratchet and Clank in the PlayStation Move Heroes demo - now available to download for free from PlayStation Store. And for those of you who want to play as Jak's sidekick, Daxter, you won't have long to wait - the wisecracking Ottsel features in the game which launches on Blu-ray Disc in late March 2011.

PlayStation Plus members can access the demo one week earlier than everyone else - find out how to subscribe to PlayStation Plus at eu.playstation.com/playstationplus.

Build and brawl with Slam Bolt Scrappers
The madcap world of Slam Bolt Scrappers awaits you on PlayStation Store, where it's your job to build the most powerful towers you can while defending against your dastardly foes. Lasers, missiles, giant robots and a four player mode are ready to enjoy in this wacky game, so download it to your PS3 this weekend and get scrapping.
