Family gift guide

Enjoy some quality family time and try these PlayStation products that are sure to bring everyone together this holiday season.

It's the time of year when there's so much joy in the air you could break into song, so do just that with the range of SingStar titles available this holiday season.

SingStar Singalong with Disney brings the greatest tracks from the best loved movies to PlaysStation 2. And with the magic of Disney spanning so many generations, kids and grandparents alike will want to get their hands on a microphone.

Alternatively, there's SingStar ABBA, on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2, if you want to celebrate with a surge of disco fever. SingStar Vol 3 on PS3 offers 30 tracks and access to the SingStore, where you will find hundreds of downloadable party classics, including the Festive Fun SongPack, which is just perfect for this time of year, and the Ultimate Queen SongPacks, for any aspiring rock gods.

Speaking of which, Guitar Hero: World Tour will transform you into a family band in minutes. Building on the incredibly popular Guitar Hero formula, with its guitar peripheral and intuitive controls that has players feeling like the ghost of Hendrix, regardless of their musical ability, the latest edition comes with a drum kit and microphone to satisfy any aspiring Keith Moons or Joni Mitchells.

It's also a time of great television, and you needn't miss any festive programmes, thanks to PlayTV, which lets you watch, pause and record digital television with your PS3. You can even record a channel while watching another or playing a game, offering the ideal solution to those perennial arguments over who is in charge of the remote control.

From watching TV to appearing on it, Buzz!: Quiz TV brings all the fun and drama of a quiz show to your living room. Absolutely anyone can play, thanks to the easy to use Buzz! Buzzers and a broad range of questions. You can even go online, via PlayStation Network, and download quizzes compiled by users from around the world or get together on the couch for a general knowledge face-off against another family.

After decorating your living room with tinsel and a big tree, why not recreate it from scratch, decorate it all over again and share it with the world, in LittleBigPlanet.  Unleash your family's creativity in a unique game that encourages you to play with everything. Four players can all join in the fun, creating levels for everyone else to enjoy or browsing through the thousands of user generated masterpieces.

Have a great holiday!
