We’ve have a ModNation Racers artist showcase for you today. Sucker Punch’s Lead Designer, Nate Fox, steps into the driving seat and tries out the creation tools in ModNation Racers.

Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed the new US TV advert on the US Blog. Don’t fret, we’ll be showing you our European advert in the near future.

Enjoy the video!

Greetings all and Merry ModNation Monday,

So what happens when the crew responsible for the PS2 classic Sly Cooper franchise and the recent PS3 hit InFAMOUS decide to have some fun in ModNation?

Empire City gets rebuilt… ModNation-style!

This is an example of what happens when you combine some time and imagination with ModNation Racers. We look forward to bringing you more examples of this in future installments of the Artist Spotlights video series.

We mentioned it was going to be BIG. Well, this news is so big we’re giving it its own blog space!

On Thursday Paramount Pictures International and AUDI AG will be launching a brand new Iron Man mini-game located in the Audi Space. As the first in-world game ever made for a film in Home, this is definitely worth your time to visit!

You will have the chance to throw on the Iron Man suit and pilot your way through a tricky skyscraper obstacle course, picking up arc reactors and dodging the mines to power your way onto the leaderboard.

If you make the leaderboard, then do your best to stay on it; the Top 10 scorers (when the game closes at the end of June 2010) will be rewarded with an Iron Man suit to keep. Do you have the raw talent – or sheer dedication – to prove that you have what it takes to wear the Iron Man suit?

To wet your appetites, check out the video below:

Don’t forget you can also grab a free Iron Man 2 t-shirt by completing the quiz available within the Audi Space. There are also plenty of clips, viral videos and trailers available to watch in the cinema.

Hello chums,

It’s Nathan here from FirstPlay with a heads up on this week’s episode, which will be on the Store from Thursday as usual, unless that dream I had where all our PlayStations grew tiny legs and ran away comes true. Then we might be delayed a week.

This week we’re mostly drooling over HD footage of Gran Turismo 5, with a little break for gazing into the future PlayStation Move, and slicing up some fools in the name of national security in Alpha Protocol. We’ve also got our regular deluge of Network Highlights, featuring a guide to not losing horribly with Super Street Fighter IV’s new scrappers, and an army of screenshots galleries, including SOCOM IV and Medal Of Honor.

As ever, this is all yours for just 99p, or even less if you sign up for a 90-day subscription.

One last thing – the brilliant crew over on the official EU forums have created a new FirstPlay section for us. Myself and the team will be in there as often as possible to avoid work answer any questions, and it’s the easiest way to submit your game videos to us. Alternatively you can still email us at
FirstPlay@futurenet.com, find us on on Twitter at @firstplay_uk or Facebook by searching for FirstPlay (Official).
