Pursuit Force sees a time where rising crime and mounting gang tensions make Capital City’s streets a dangerous place. Meeting the hardened criminals with force is the job of a new type of cop working for the Pursuit Force team, an elite police division where the ends justify the means. Set across five districts controlled by violent criminals, Pursuit Force features more than 30 cases to crack in a non-stop festival of speed. The action takes place across an entire fictional American state, as the law gets tough on a new breed of gangs.

As a young, cocky and street tough cop, you are tasked with bringing to justice five of the State’s most infamous gangs, including ‘The Vixens’, a foxy group of ex-stunt girls who chose a life of crime to pay for their daring Hollywood lifestyles and outfits. Trained in martial arts, weapons design and death-defying stunts, The Vixens are hell-bent on living the high-life that Hollywood denied them. Led by ‘Whiplash’ and ‘The Fox’, the sexy Vixens are a deadly combination of strategy and style.

Assisted by the old-school, short-tempered Chief of the Pursuit Force who likes to play by the book, players find themselves immersed in an adrenaline fuelled, high speed chase across 400km of city streets, freeways and off-road tracks, in their battle to outsmart the bad guys and rid the state of crime.

A unique 3rd person-action game created exclusively for the PSP, Dead Head Fred draws players into an original 1940′s inspired alternative universe where the bizarre blends with a slice of old time Americana, producing a morally bankrupt town ruled by violent organised crime and populated with mutants spawned from toxic waste.

As private detective Fred Neuman, savagely murdered and then resurrected in a bizarre scientific experiment without his memory or his head, players embark on a quest for vengeance as they solve their own murder by using the severed heads of enemies to battle their way through environments designed to showcase each head’s unique abilities. Offering unprecedented graphics with vast, interactive environments, Dead Head Fred immerses players in the action with the most revolutionary camera to date on a handheld device as players collect, upgrade and switch the heads of enemies on the fly to strategically fight malformed mutants, ghoulish gangsters, and maniacal mob bosses in a unique and compelling story of revenge and redemption.

Geared for the single-player experience, Dead Head Fred offers the most compelling and completely original storyline to date with "twisted noir" humour and violence in a portrayal of revenge and redemption in an artistically unique environment unlike anything before on the PSP.

New Zealand Story: Revolution is an accurate re-telling of the timeless 1988 original. Starring Tiki, a plucky Kiwi bird, the gameplay revolves around him rescuing his kidnapped friends from the clutches of a nefarious leopard seal. The setting for each of the game’s levels remains untouched although the layouts have been remixed and re-jigged to provide fresh challenges. Graphically, the game benefits from an overhaul that updates New Zealand Story’s visuals whilst retaining the clean lines of its arcade ancestor.

Beautiful Katamari, on the XBox 360, is an absolutely crackers game that involves you rolling around and picking up stuff.

Using the Wii Remote, players simply point at the screen and direct the man with the ball as to where they want him to run by clicking in the open space. However, it’s what happens with your teammates that will prove to be the defining moment of this latest PES. Users will be able to click on other members of their side and tell them where to run, to perform one-two passes or make them create space by dragging away defenders.

It will be possible to manipulate as many players as you can quickly get control of to make set pieces become a vital part of the attacking play. Make forwards run across goal, defenders will spin and attack the back post while the towering striker makes a dart for the near post – all of which is controlled by you.

The game will automatically detect the type of pass you want to make depending on the distance the player you want to pass to is standing. If you point for a pass to a player on the other side of the pitch, the game will loop a high ball over. Likewise, if you chip a ball into space, you can then grab the nearest player and move him towards it.

New gameplay modes have been added, including the Champions Road option. Players get the opportunity to train sub standard team and then play off against other teams online. Defeating these CPU teams enables you to take some of their players and strengthen your team on the road to glory.
