Gaming Gifts 2011: Stocking Fillers

Find out how you can light up Christmas for your friends and family without blowing the budget.

For Platinum perfection...

Escape to a different planet this Christmas, then fight your way off it in sensational style. Killzone 3 on PlayStation 3 is now part of the great value Platinum range, which means you can experience the story of an explosive retreat through enemy territory at a new low price.

As hard-bitten trooper Tomas "Sev" Sevchenko, you'll see a very different war through grizzled eyes. A war in thick, poisonous jungles and crumbling megacities against the formidable Helghast army will make for a challenging spectacle this Christmas.     

Set off on two stunning adventures a little closer to home thanks to the Uncharted Platinum Double Pack on PS3. Containing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves – along with plenty of knockabout action and witty charm – it's the perfect excuse to catch up on fortune hunter Nathan Drake's exploits, or simply revisit his stamping grounds. 

And for budding heroes who prefer their action coated in suits of armour, grab a PlayStation Move motion controller and give Medieval Moves a go. Use your motion controller to wield a mighty sword, launch arrows from a bow and cast deadly throwing stars as you defend your castle from a vast undead army.

For bite-sized brilliance...

Cole MacGrath lives through his own nightmare before Christmas, as inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood tells the gripping story of vampires descending upon the city of New Marais. In a stand-alone episode set on a single terrifying night, Cole must battle against ancient bloodsucker Bloody Mary and save the city from her shadowy henchmen. 

Download inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood to your PS3 system and embrace the darkness this Christmas.

From bloodsucking to blood-pumping, PlayStation minis title Where is my Heart? is a magical platformer featuring a family of monsters lost in an enchanted forest. Guide them through a land of confusion, where you'll meet the Rainbow Spirit of True Sorrow, the Bat King and the Antler Ancestor.

Save yourself the trouble of trying to sneak gifts into the house unseen this Christmas by downloading some great games from PlayStation Store. Having trouble deciding what to buy? Then help is at hand in the form of PlayStation Network Cards, which let you easily add funds to a PlayStation Network wallet.

That way, a grateful friend or family member can then choose their own gift from an enormous range of downloadable games, movies and more great content.

For essential gaming on the go...

Give someone's games collection a big boost for a tiny price with the PSP Essentials range. Top titles are being added all the time, including EA SPORTS FIFA 09, the slick football game that never runs out of steam. Individual brilliance and strategic mastery sit side by side in this authentic simulation, so you can tweak tactics and dazzle with flair wherever you are.

Patapon, meanwhile, is an adventure where your inner rhythm leads the way. Inspire a mischievous tribe to move to the beat of your drum by following on-screen commands in time to insanely catchy music. You'll slay monsters, stage daring rescues and lead your loyal troops into battle using just your nimble digits.

All PSP Essentials games are available to download to PSP straight from PlayStation Store – so even though you'll be playing on the move, you won't have to detour via the high street for your next dose of great value gaming.

For the slightly roomier stocking...

Say hello to the newest member of the PSP family, PSP-E1000. Offering amazing portable entertainment without breaking the bank, the handheld is the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys fun on the go.

Easily connectable to a PC or PS3 system, PSP-E1000 is much more than a platform for unmissable games like Patapon 3 and Invizimals: The Lost Tribes. You can enjoy your favourite music, photo and video content via Memory Stick Duo, while the latest movies from the Video Store of PlayStation Store can also be downloaded via Media Go.

Give the gift of PlayStation this Christmas and you'll guarantee unforgettable experiences without busting your wallet.

And make sure you keep an eye on PlayStation Store for brand new offers over the festive period – treat yourself as well as everyone else this Christmas.
