Trash Panic for PS3 is 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 biodegradables together so that they rot – meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking and the tide of rubbish keeps advancing.

It’s fast, furious – and socially responsible – what more could you want on Earth Day?

Available exclusively for PS3 as a download from PlayStation Network, Trash Panic will be released later this spring.
