London 2012Event tie-ins are often all promise and no product, but SEGA’s Olympic offering bucks the trend. The game recreates over 30 Olympic sports, from the classics of track and field to trampolining, shooting, diving, kayaking and cycling, each hosted in faithfully rendered versions of London’s new arenas. Whether playing the full range in Olympic mode, or creating a set-list or party play, the control mechanics perfectly represent the movements of each event, making each discipline genuinely fun and competitive to play. Better still, it’s the realistic crowd atmospherics, sound effects, replays and commentary that gift this game the gold. p dudMan

ReSiStanCe: BuRning SKieSThe first true first-person shooter on PlayStation’s epic portable, Burning Skies utilises Vita’s dual analogue sticks, front and rear touchscreens and shoulder triggers with aplomb. Taking the Resistance franchise into new territory, you play Tom Riley, an axe-wielding 1950s fireman caught up in the first days of an alien assault by the Chimera on the US east coast. Merging contemporary weapons with Chimera guns and secret hybrid tech, the race is on to blast through ruined cities, internment camps, military bases and alien towers to save your family and save humanity. Vive la resistance! pd

PixeL JunK 4amThis downloadable music generation tool allows you to use the PS3’s Move controller to drag numerous beat-synced split-channel dance tracks (created by Japan’s DJ Baiyon) into the screen’s 3D virtual audio canvas where twists and gestures allow you to mute channels, fade, mix and manipulate the minimal, techy house beats in a completely interactive manner. Online kudos from other players also appears on screen as a rising EQ bar, while you ad-lib and loop your own drums and effects on top and let your minds melt to wow- factor visuals that can also adapt to your CD/PS3 music playlists. pd
