Inside we go hands-on for a full preview of Killzone 3, collect another batch of PS3 releases in our reviews round-up, and catch up with Official PlayStation Magazine's Rachel Weber to find out how she got on when she performed her freshly-written rap for some of the country's leading music critics.
