Download it from PlayStation Store now

There will be blood when you check out Episode 16 of Access TV on the Store tonight. And torn limbs. And (if you’re squeamish) lots of wincing. So make sure you watch Game of the Week – which is the The Darkness II by the way – before you’ve eaten your supper. If you’ve got the stomach for it, the game is looking thoroughly excellent.

A bit more family friendly is the Access team’s visit to Elstree Studios to watch the Celebrity Special of ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ being recorded live. Competition winner Rama Dainton won a spot at the recording, and also got to try out the new Millionaire game – available from the PlayStation Store right now.

Elsewhere there’s a review of western sci-fi blockbuster Cowboys & Aliens, which has Daniel Craig looking excellent in a fedora and Harrison Ford showing he still knows how to do that thing called acting.

Then there’s your roundup of PlayStation Store content to look forward to, which this week includes JRPG action in the form of Final Fantasy XIII-2′s playable demo, plus PSOne classic Wild Arms. And be sure to check out info on the Access Vita Rooms tour, a countrywide selection of public events that give you the chance to have a crack on PlayStation Vita before its UK launch in February.

Access TV is available on the PlayStation Store every Wednesday, free to download for all UK PSN users.

As another fantastic year on PlayStation draws to a close, industry experts tell eu.playstation.com their video game highlights of 2011.

“The unveiling of PlayStation Vita in January all the way through to the launch in Japan on 17 December 2011 has been great. On PlayStation 3, the launch of Killzone 3, LittleBigPlanet 2 and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception stood out, along with the announcement of The Last of Us.” Shuhei Yoshida, president, SCE Worldwide Studios

“What a year it’s been: we started with three massive games in LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3 and MotorStorm Apocalypse, and rounded it off with Resistance 3 and the incomparable Uncharted 3. Add to that some great new PS Move experiences like DanceStar Party, Start the Party! Save the World and Medieval Moves, and there was truly something for everyone in 2011.” Michael Denny, senior vice president, SCE Worldwide Studios, Europe

“There was a ton of great stuff in 2011, and if you were to twist my arm, I’d have to say Uncharted 3. The game just looks amazing and continues a great narrative in a way that few titles have been able to accomplish. No other game gets closer to film quality cutscenes.” Dayne McClurg, community manager, Gotham City Impostors

“Showing off WipEout 2048 and Little Deviants on PS Vita for the first time in public at E3 2011 was a big highlight for me. And playing Uncharted 3 in stereoscopic 3D with my youngest son – it’s just such an awesome game, great story, brilliant pacing, Hollywood style action and all in superb, quality 3D. Hats off to the ‘Dogs’ for another truly amazing game.” Mick Hocking, vice president, SCE Worldwide Studios

“It’s got to be Uncharted 3. I’m a huge fan of the series and it’s a stunning title to experience.” Nick Craig, vice president, Codemasters

“For me it’s been inFAMOUS 2. I loved the first game and I think the second one is just so much better. I’m playing it through for the second time as the villain right now.” Simon Bursey, art director, BigBig Studios

“Killzone 3 showed clearly how far you can push the rendering power of PS3 – great look and feel, and a very well executed game. Batman: Arkham City was a fine successor to the beautiful Arkham Asylum and it’s fantastic to see a small studio like Rocksteady create such a strong new Batman series.” Tore Blystad, game director, Hitman: Absolution

“Not strictly this year, but it has to be Gran Turismo 5. It hasn’t been taken out of my PlayStation 3 since 2010, and it has basically helped me become an actual racing driver.” Jann Mardenborough, GT Academy winner 2011

“It’s been a stupendous year for the discerning gamer, hasn’t it? Call me biased, but seeing EA SPORTS FIFA 12′s online stats go through the roof this year stood out. Also, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Battlefield 3 and Batman: Arkham City – Deus Ex: Human Revolution too. That’s about three months of non-stop playing right there.” Matt Prior, associate producer, EA

“I always enjoy seeing how game series I used to work on go: Dead Space 2 and Need For Speed The Run are two of those, and both are great.” Glen Schofield, general manager, Sledgehammer Games

“I loved The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and I found Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Batman: Arkham City to be pretty epic.” Ara Demirjian, assistant producer, SCE Worldwide Studios

“Killzone 3 was a lot of fun. I’m about big guns: the bigger the shells the better, and that missile launcher in Killzone 3 [the WASP] was immense.” Randy Varnell, producer, Gearbox Software

Check out our video to view more PlayStation highlights from 2011, including the pick of the year as chosen by Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

Ring in 2012 with some amazing PlayStation entertainment and make it a New Year to remember.

It’s nearly time to see in the New Year, so gather all the party essentials: food, drinks and an unbeatable selection of PlayStation entertainment to start 2012 with a bang.

20:00

The snacks are in the oven and your guests are on the way – so it’s the ideal time to plan your evening. Hop on to VidZone and organise your perfect party playlist. There are plenty of free music videos to choose from to suit any mood, so pick some great tunes and personalise the way you say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012.

You can keep any little ones happy in the meantime with EyePet & Friends on PlayStation 3, which uses the magic of the PlayStation Eye camera to bring two adorable little EyePets into your home.

21:00

Get the party started and your friends and family warmed up with the competitive spirit. Blast your brain cells with Buzz!: The Ultimate Music Quiz on PSP to put your music knowledge to the test, and then get everyone off the couch with

Brunswick Pro Bowling and After Hours Athletes on PS3. Both titles use the PlayStation Move motion controller and PlayStation Eye camera to bring some sporting genius to your evening.

And don’t forget about the kids – you can free up the TV by switching their EyePet fun over to EyePet Adventures on PSP before bedtime. Then they can take their magical best friend wherever they go.

22:00

With things in full swing, the energy levels should be reaching a high point, which is the perfect time to whip out DanceStar Party on PS3 to see who has the groove to match 40 foot-stomping hits, including We No Speak Americano, OMG and Born This Way.

If your guests are still in the dancing mood, then bring the smooth criminals out to play with Michael Jackson The Experience. The PS3 title lets you dance to hits such as Thriller and Dirty Diana using PlayStation Move, while crooning to the lyrics thanks to the Wireless SingStar Microphones. Who’s Bad?

23:00

Before you start the big countdown, take advantage of the singing mood by unleashing the SingStar Party Pack. Not only does it come with two Wireless SingStar Microphones, it also has voucher codes to download SingStar and 20 tracks of your choice from the SingStore, meaning everyone gets the chance to belt out a song they love.

00:00

With the music blasting, don’t forget to ring in the New Year – it’s time to slam on your VidZone party playlist to celebrate in style. If Santa delivered a BRAVIA 3D TV and some compatible glasses down your chimney, you can watch the televised New Year fireworks in a new dimension and enjoy the incredible eye-popping display without the outdoor chill.

01:00

It’s 2012, so make sure you keep your PlayStation Eye camera out and wish all your loved ones on your PlayStation Network Friends List a very Happy New Year with the voice and video chat feature on your PlayStation 3. Party poppers and hats are optional…

New Year’s Day

The dust has settled, the party has rocked and a new year has dawned – so why not treat yourself to a few classic movies from the Video Store of PlayStation Store? Or put your feet up and grab some of your favourite TV shows via the selection of great catch-up TV channels that PS3 has to offer.

You can also spend a little of your leftover Christmas money to become a PlayStation Plus subscriber with a massive 20 per cent off a year’s subscription.
