    Not too much is know about the upcoming PSN game, Toy Home. However, it appears that it started as a free Flash game, one that can be played here. The game takes advantage of some serious Flash Shockwave tech, including a Havok-based physics engine that'll use a surprising amount of system resources (for a web game!).Give it a try -- but keep in mind, it's clearly not a fully-polished game. However, do you see the potential that Sony saw when they decided to bring this game to the PS3? Please let us know.[Thanks, SaeedP.!]%Gallery-4976%

    You've read about the best (and the, er, not so best) now here's some quick impressions of the rest of the PSN games Sony had on display at this year's E3 Media and Business Summit.Go! Sports SkiThis improbably punctuated title actually describes a cute little skiing game with some impressively realistic 3D graphics ... for a downloadable title, at least. The SixAxis controller's tilting abilities are put to good use to move your skier -- lean forward to to go fast, lean left and right to carve out turns. As in real skiing, it can take a second or two to switch from a hard left to a hard right, but once you get used to this built-in delay it's remarkably easy and fun to carve out the demo's simple slaloms. A rudimentary jump and trick system also showed some promise. The demo promised customizable skiers, an online battle mode and time trials as well.

    Toy Home, a new PlayStation Network title was announced quietly at the PlayStation Premiere event yesterday. Not much is known about the specific gameplay mechanics yet, but it appears to be a Micromachines-esque game with little toy cars tearing around a huge house. Looks like there is an emphasis on tricks and big jumps, and like Twisted Metal it appears to have a deathmatch mode too (complete with crayon missiles for burnt umber based destruction). The game supports two person split-screen action, and likely has online features as well. Currently there is no date announced for when Toy Home will be released. We'll bring you more info on this intriguing little game as soon as we get the details[Via N4G]%Gallery-4976%
