New FirstPlay episode incoming - let the FirstPlay team tell you all about it...

Before we get started with the regular content list, let me offer you a welcoming gift in the shape of another two PSN avatars, this time to tie in with ace PSN viking🍌 ‘em up Swords & Soldiers and both free with this week’s episode of FirstPlay.

Speaking of which, episode 42 of FirstPlay will be on the Store this Wednesday, and it’s a cracker, with two huge sci-fi sequel reviews as we deliver verdicts on Dead Space 2 and Mass Effect 2, an expert gui🌠de to tuning your car in Gran Turismo 5, and a review of tie-in animation Dead Space: Aftermath.

We also sit down 𒁏for a chat with Kaos Studios, the team behind upcoming shooter Homefront, check out some of the latest titles to appear on the PlayStation Store, and review PS Eye scrapper Kung-Fu Live. On top of all that we’ve got new screenshots from Resistance 3, Red Faction: Armageddon, 🐼Bodycount and more.

So that’s free stuff, two of the biggest games on PS3 this year, behind the scenes access, movie reviews and a round-up of the PSN, all for just 99p, or even less if you buy a 12 week subscription f🌼or £8.99.

We’d also like to remind you that you can stay in touch with all things FirstPlay by following us on Twitter at @firstplay_uk and on our Facebook page: FirstPlay (official). We also have a YouTube channel up and running at And don’t forget you can sign up for the FirstPlay newsletter at to h💎ave regular news and content updates delivered directly to your inbox.
