Written and produced by our friends at Official PlayStation Magazine UK (including former GamesRadar staffer James Jarvis - remember him?) and a hand-picked group of TV and games industry veterans, FirstPlay delivers brand-new high definition video reviews and previews every week, plus exclusive downloadable content and much more.

Even better, FirstPlay is delivered to your console for just 99p an episode and money-saving subscriptions are also available for £8.99 a 90-day subscription.

The first episode includes the definitive verdict on Square Enix’s eagerly-awaited Just Cause 2 – rewarding viewers with an exclusive in-game item for use by Rico Rodriquez.Then there's a feature on Sony’s God of War III – showcasing the epic scale of the game in glorious HD and a revealing first-look at EA’s FIFA World Cup 2010 – due for release late April.

There are also interactive screenshot galleries of Formula One 2010, Red Dead Redemption and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, which allow you tosave any image to your PS3's hard drive and use it as wallpaper.

Tim Clark, Editor-in-Chief of FirstPlay, said: “We’re tremendously excited to be finally launching FirstPlay, and to be bringing our brand of editorial direct to PS3 owners on their consoles. It will be an evolving service, but our focus will always be showing gamers the most exciting things on PlayStation systems.”

It's well worth checking out - don't miss it.
