Trash PanicTM for PLAYSTATION®3 announced on Earth Day (PS3)

Don’t let the planet get swamped by rubbish – think quickly to dispose of it properly in this fast, fun, environmentally-aware brainteaser!

April 21st 2009 is Earth Day, a day when people put their heads together to think about the issues facing the planet – and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is challenging gamers to get to grips with rubbish with the announcement of Trash Panic™ for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) – a new, downloadable puzzle game that challenges players to stop a virtual environment being swamped by an ever-flowing tide of rubbish.

A game that takes the puzzle genre and gives it an environmental twist, Trash Panic challenges players to dispose of the rubbish by arranging it strategically in a giant rubbish crate before it overflows. Players have to think quickly, dropping heavy rubbish on crushable items to compact it – or placing biodegradables together so that they rot – meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking and the tide of rubbish keeps advancing.

It’s fast, furious – and socially responsible – what more could you want on Earth Day? Available exclusively for PS3 as a download from PlayStation®Network, Trash Panic will be released later this spring.
