The cult anti gravity racer, WipEout Fusion, has received rave reviews since its release in the European market last month and is providing the fastest and most adrenaline-pumping complete racing experience on any gaming system. With 45 futuristic race circuits to negotiate, players can corkscrew, jump, barrel roll and loop like never before. The game has significant new features including super-enhanced tracks, ships and weaponry, improved ship and pilot A.I. and six playing modes (including revised arcade mode, a full league option and an elimination and a secret zone mode).
With WipEout Fusion, the WipEout brand again redefines the benchmark for high-speed, high-intensity, sensory overload racing. WipEout Fusion comes complete with a backdrop of cutting-edge dance soundtracks from some of the world's most acclaimed electronic music artists such as Orbital, Plump DJs and Timo Maas.

Dropship: United Peace Force is an explosive combat experience that takes gamers to the year 2050 where the United Nations and NATO have been replaced by the United Peacekeeping Force. Freshly recruited to the ranks, players must utilize a range of futuristic, super high-tech ground and air combat vehicles to combat a new, deadly menace and unravel a political plot that threatens world peace.
Dropship's unique gameplay is a new take on the action genre, where every tactical decision influences the success of the mission. With the aid of a co-pilot, players can fly, drive and storm their way through huge, photo-realistic combat zones, launching assaults on enemy targets while political intrigue plays itself out in a frighteningly realistic plot.
