And so I’ve returned this week to give you the details on the latest episode of FirstPlay, with thanks to nineinchnailed for covering me over the last fortnight. This week sees a review of the long-awaited third-person shooter Mafia II and a review of the somewhat funny RPG on PSN – Deathspank (look out for our review soon). If you’re still up for more stunning footage of Killzone 3 then you’ll be happy to know that FirstPlay have another preview of the game to feast your eyes on as well as a preview of Driver: San Francisco.

In the Screenshots section is a look at Bethesda’s new game RAGE as well as Castlevania: Lord of Shadows and Dirt 3. In the Network Highlights section is a round-up of the latest and best PSP Minis, and some more Skate Tricks and Bails if you haven’t already seen enough!

Finally in the Featured Downloads section is another XMB Theme, this time of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. As always, we are reminded that some fresh new content will be hitting this section soon, but it seems to be an unending wait. Hopefully FirstPlay will be able to pull a few surprises in the next few weeks.

All of this and more is listed below:
