Save the planet in Trash Panic on PS3

Don't let the planet get swamped by rubbish – think quickly to dispose of it properly in a fast, fun, environmentally aware brain-teaser coming to PlayStation 3.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is challenging gamers to get to grips with rubbish with the announcement of Trash Panic™ for PlayStation 3 – a new, downloadable puzzle game that challenges players to stop a virtual environment being swamped by an ever-flowing tide of rubbish.

A game that takes the puzzle genre and gives it an environmental twist, Trash Panic challenges players to dispose of the rubbish by arranging it strategically in a giant rubbish crate before it overflows. Players have to think quickly, dropping heavy rubbish on crushable items to compact it – or placing bio-degradables together so that they rot – meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking and the tide of rubbish keeps advancing.

It's fast, furious – and socially responsible. Available exclusively for PS3 as a download from PlayStation Network, Trash Panic will be released in spring 2009.
