During E3 we got an opportunity to learn more about Sony's upcoming range of PlayLink titles for PlayStation 4, games that make use of smartphones as controllers.

We talked to Napnok Games' Lau Korsgaard about their title, Frantics,

"PlayLink is an exciting way of playing games on your PlayStation 4 and you use phones instead of a regular controller", explains Korsgaard. "And you can do all sorts of crazy things with that. We're using gyro for instance in Frantics."

"Frantics is like a bunch of mini-games. In one of them you drop with a parachute and have to move the phone to navigate in the air and you have to pull the parachute by pushing the screen in the very end."

"We're using gyro. We're using swiping, pressing and all sorts of stuff. It'll be a bunch of different small, chaotic party games, mini-games, all of them having a small social twist so you can ally with other people, gang up on a person or sabotage them."

We then played both the trivia game Knowledge is Power, and Supermassive Games' interesting "mole"-game Hidden Agenda. Watch both play sessions below:

REVIEW. Written by Graham Bellars

"The last animal standing wins, naturally, then it's a case of sitting back and enjoying Fox's witty remarks as you claim your prize."
