Hello everyone,
Leaving aside the fact their eyes glow red and that their homeworld is an aggressive military dictatorship fuelled by burning interplanetary expansionism, you have to admit the Helghast look pretty cool. And in this week’s FirstPlay we have a huge in-depth review of Killzone 3 which gives you all the long, lingering looks at their flag-waving style you could ever hope for. Seriously – the game is the new visual benchmark for PS3, and FirstPlay is the best way to check out how it’ll look on your TV.
Aside from that we’re also still in a giving mood, with another pair of Swords & Soldiers themed PSN avatars to download. And we have a great line-up of other video content, including an interview with Gearbox chief and Duke Nukem saviour Randy Pitchford, a reviews round-up of recent PS3 releases and a look at cold crime drama The Town on Blu-ray.
We’ve also got a chat with games hero Tim Schafer and Stacking creator Tim Petty about making the body-popping doll puzzler, and a profile of Brian Holinka from Homefront developer Kaos Studios. We’ve also got a look at the latest minis, a tour of the weirdest stuff available to buy from the PlayStation Store, which starts with stone dogs and giant cats and gets stranger from there, and this week’s screenshot galleries, which this week feature SSX Deadly Descents, Dragon Age 2 and Supremacy MMA.
All of this comes for just 99p, or less if you pick up a 12 week subscription for £8.99.
If you have any feedback you can email at FirstPlay@futurenet.com, or we’re on Twitter at @firstplay_uk. I’m @nathanditum, producer Dave is @bodbod and assistant producer James is @James_Jarvis. We’d love to hear from you.

See the Future of PS3. First.

Stacking is effin’ brilliant. Especially the part where you fart. Which is a lot!

Cool, I’m looking forward to the KillZone 3 review (me thinks it will be a 10?)
. Stacking is a genius game, so much fun too!

You should do a feature with Killzone played with Move. Just so everyone knows how awesome it is if they didn’t already

been getting Firstplay for a while now, and will prob pick up this weeks, but recently they seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for content and been a bit lacking in decent reviews/previews …. please do more of these.

I swear the guy in the last picture used to be in the old BBC sitcom “Hi-De-Hi”:
