FirstPlay Episode 12

I’m back to give you all a quick heads up on what’s coming up in episode 12 of FirstPlay, which hits theStore this Wednesday.

We’ve got two HD reviews for you this week. Firstly, we smash a whole bunch of guys to meaty pieces as we put new American Football effort Backbreaker through its paces, and then we’re the ones in for a stern going over as we take on the infamously nails RPG Demon’s Souls. Watch our extraordinarily patient review to find out if it’s as good as it is unforgiving.

On top of that we’ve also got a preview of Namco Bandai’s Ico-esque adventure, Maijin: The Forsaken Kingdom, and a review of Denzel Washington’s jolly Blu-ray apocalypse The Book Of Eli, as well as our regular round of network highlights, including a look at the latest comics in the PSP store, and a round-up of the best and most sickening Skate tricks and spine-compacting bails.

Our screenshot galleries this week include LittleBigPlanet 2 and The Force Unleashed 2, and after some viewer feedback we’ve added the ability to watch each gallery as a slide-show with the press of a single button. And that button is R2. Go R2!

In case you missed it last week, episode 12 also includes our exclusive demo of Backbreaker, and don’t forget that the minis we gave away in episodes 7 to 10 – Echoes, Blast Off, Age Of Zombies and Aero Racer – are all still available to download in, on the Store now for just 99p each.

Please do find us on Twitter at @firstplay_uk, which is updated several times a day with regular news, links and competitions, and email any suggestions, feedback or marriage proposals toFirstPlay@futurenet.com. We’re also on the official EU forums here.

See the Future of PS3. First.
