World of PlayStation: Family & Friends

Give the board games a rest - PlayStation gives you interactive games for all the family, lets you keep in touch, and even brings TV to the car...

With PlayStation, games have never been more family-friendly. We've created the genre of social gaming: games where players of all ages socialise through gaming. For the kids and the young-at-heart, there are EyeToy games that burn physical as well as mental energy. We've got puzzle games that everyone will want to try - whether at home or in the car - as well as offering the ability for you you to watch TV on the move.

You can even team up as a family to challenge your overseas relatives to a round of online quizzing over PlayStation Network - and when it comes to keeping in touch further, we've just given PSP video and voice chat capabilities.
