I’m back to give you a heads up on what’s coming in this week’s FirstPlay, which as usual is up on the Store from Wednesday.
This week we’ve got an exclusive behind the scenes look at the ork-tearing action of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine all the way from Relic Entertainment‘s studios in Vancouver. The game looks bigger and more brutal each time we see it, and their office is also packed with 40K miniatures showing off some pretty sweet drybrush work (+10 geek points if you know what I’m talking about).
We’re also catching up on a couple of recent releases which, for one reason or another come with a double helping of nostalgia. The first is Tomb Raider Trilogy HD, which reminds us that while Lara might not be as funny as Nathan Drake she’s way better to look at from behind for ten or more hours. And then there’s WWE All Stars, a royal rumble of wrestling heroes old and new featuring pumped supermen of our youth like Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart and, uh, The Honky Tonk Man.
Aside from that we’re reviewing The Tourist on Blu-ray, chatting to Lego games developer Travellers Tales and reeling off our top ten skill kills from the gloriously gruesome Bulletstorm. There’s also a round-up of downloadable content for the likes of Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow and Dead Space 2 and the latest screens from The Last Guardian, LA Noire and more.
All of this comes for the teeny price of 99p, which can be made even teenier if you buy a 12 week subscription at £8.99.
We always want to hear your thoughts and feedback, so get in touch on 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.

Chloe Frazer has a better ass than Lara Croft. Much better, though far too distracting hence why I only play as her when I’m forced to in Co Op Objective.

Sooooooooo…. any news on whether FirstPlay will ever be available free to Playstation Plus users?
I would really like to start using FirstPlay but I seriously can’t justify the expense on TOP of Plus.

I agree with 3.
Qore is given to plus subbers in the US, why not us huh? FirstPlay would just give more gamers a reason to get PS+ making it better for everyone right?
I like the way every week on the blog there’s atleast one person who says this but there is never any reply. It’s so funny!
Come on Leon, any excuse will do mate?

@4 Wow, chip on your shoulder much?
You could also ask why do US PS+ users get more than Europeans?
I asked if we would ever see FirstPlay available for free to PS+ users, I did not say ‘UK PS+ users only’. I’m sorry you don’t have access to FirstPlay in Sweden, but you’re trying to incite an argument where there was none. If you’re unhappy with not receiving FirstPlay there then feel free to let Sony know just like I am letting Sony know my view as well.

I’ve never bought firstplay before. This episode does not look like it has any content I’d be interested in so I wont buy it this time.
