Mixing miniature mayhem with maximum multiplayer racing, Micro Machines V4 arrives packed with knockabout, breakneck racing in the fastest scale miniatures, complete with explosive weapon power-ups. Letting you loose with hundreds of vehicles, each with distinctive performance abilities, you’ll be racing your inch-long miniature motors on the wildest tracks where everyday household objects appear immense in size and can become lethal hazards.
Sport cars, street racers, stock cars, 4×4s, beach buggies, lowriders and muscle cars are just some of the Micro Machines models you’ll be taking out on the improvised tracks around the house, garden and – for the first time – beyond!
Fans of classic Micro Machines games will rejoice in the return of some of the series’ most popular racing arenas. Spin out around the breakfast table littered with cereal spills, tear through the kitchen, turbo boost around the pool table (while avoiding the treacherous pockets), or hit the gas as you drive around the rim of the bath, carefully negotiating the ferocious waters pouring over the edge of the bath.
As well as the familiar feel-good environments, Micro Machines V4 sees your racing world expand further than any previous Micro Machines game. Go beyond the house and garden tracks and discover what it’s like to race across house roofs, in the sewers, through supermarkets, museums and even down to the farm, with its danger-packed chicken coop!
Of course, it wouldn’t be Micro Machines without an arsenal of power-ups and weapons to collect and use on your opponents while you’re racing. Micro Machines V4 brings all the favourites back, including the car-mounted giant hammer!

Pursuit Force sees a time where rising crime and mounting gang tensions make Capital City’s streets a dangerous place. Meeting the hardened criminals with force is the job of a new type of cop working for the Pursuit Force team, an elite police division where the ends justify the means. Set across five districts controlled by violent criminals, Pursuit Force features more than 30 cases to crack in a non-stop festival of speed. The action takes place across an entire fictional American state, as the law gets tough on a new breed of gangs.
As a young, cocky and street tough cop, you are tasked with bringing to justice five of the State’s most infamous gangs, including ‘The Vixens’, a foxy group of ex-stunt girls who chose a life of crime to pay for their daring Hollywood lifestyles and outfits. Trained in martial arts, weapons design and death-defying stunts, The Vixens are hell-bent on living the high-life that Hollywood denied them. Led by ‘Whiplash’ and ‘The Fox’, the sexy Vixens are a deadly combination of strategy and style.
Assisted by the old-school, short-tempered Chief of the Pursuit Force who likes to play by the book, players find themselves immersed in an adrenaline fuelled, high speed chase across 400km of city streets, freeways and off-road tracks, in their battle to outsmart the bad guys and rid the state of crime.

A unique 3rd person-action game created exclusively for the PSP, Dead Head Fred draws players into an original 1940’s inspired alternative universe where the bizarre blends with a slice of old time Americana, producing a morally bankrupt town ruled by violent organised crime and populated with mutants spawned from toxic waste.
As private detective Fred Neuman, savagely murdered and then resurrected in a bizarre scientific experiment without his memory or his head, players embark on a quest for vengeance as they solve their own murder by using the severed heads of enemies to battle their way through environments designed to showcase each head’s unique abilities. Offering unprecedented graphics with vast, interactive environments, Dead Head Fred immerses players in the action with the most revolutionary camera to date on a handheld device as players collect, upgrade and switch the heads of enemies on the fly to strategically fight malformed mutants, ghoulish gangsters, and maniacal mob bosses in a unique and compelling story of revenge and redemption.
Geared for the single-player experience, Dead Head Fred offers the most compelling and completely original storyline to date with "twisted noir" humour and violence in a portrayal of revenge and redemption in an artistically unique environment unlike anything before on the PSP.
