FirstPlay Episode 31

Hello everyone,

Or ‘word’ as I would say, if only I was much cooler and hip hoppier. Because this week on FirstPlay we’ve got a positively thumping HD review of new SingStar rival Def Jam Rapstar (which, despite our best efforts, they decided not to call BlingStar). We’ve also got a preview of sleek smash ’em Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, and we zoom in for an extra close-up look at what we can expect from Bioshock Infinite when it’s finally released in a thousand years. Or 2012. Whatever.

And there’s loads more too. We’ve also got tips from the DJ Hero 2 team on how to spin your opponents into the ground in the game’s competitive mode, a personal take from editor-in-chief Tim Clark on his addiction to PES 2011‘s Become A Legend mode, plus reviews of DeathSpank: Thongs Of Virtue, Vanquish, Front: Mission Evolved and Tumble.
Last but not least we have our screenshot galleries, which is where we tend to put our weirdest jokes and where this week you’ll find Twisted Metal, Alice: Madness Returns, El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron and Mindjack.
All of this can be yours for just 99p, or even less if you buy an £8.99 subscription to FirstPlay for 12 weeks. Which you definitely should, if you think about it.
We’re always eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, and ways of looking hip hop even when you’re a middle class indie idiot from the home counties, and you can get in touch on Twitter at @firstplay_uk, FirstPlay@futurenet.com, or the official EU forums. And don’t forget you can sign up for the FirstPlay newsletter at http://www.firstplay.co.uk/register to have regular news and content updates delivered directly.
See the Future of PS3. First.
