MEGamers writes: "With temperatures soaring steadily in Dubai, most of us are fleeing the great outdoors and are either holidaying elsewhere for the summer or hibernating in the air-conditioned shopping malls. But for those of us who have no intention of leaving the house, summer means DVD movie marathons and gaming nights. But for anyone who still craves for a bit of outdoors but without the heat wave, 2K games have come out with Top Spin 3 for the Playstation 3 which is possibly one of the best tennis games out at the moment, despite a few snags.
Anyone who's played tennis in real life will appreciate the amount of detail that has gone into making this game look and feel as authentic as possible. And just to make things clear, real life tennis invoices actually playing on the courts with a tennis ball and racket, and not swishing around a Nunchuck in Wii Sports. Top Spin 3 brings all the famous names in tennis right to your living room, along with a host of features and playable venues."
OPM: Thousands of Brits will be inspired to pick up a racket this week on the back of Andy Murray’s success at Wimbledon – but in this heat, and given our hand-eye co-co-ordination, we’ll be sticking to the virtual type. Looking to fill your week with some ace-smashing antics? Then join us in revisiting PlayStation’s finest tennis efforts…
Not really, most of those games were available on multiple platforms.
Just so happens that the PS magazine wrote the article so makes sense it would be 'Playstation's greatest games' :)

Virtua Tennis 3 has been one of my favorite PSP games, and I could not wait to see what the 2009 Xbox 360 version of the game brought to the table. After playing the game, I was very disappointed in Virtua Tennis 2009; not because it was a bad game per say, but because it wasn't anything new from the previous release."
Another week and another episode of Distributed Failure is here for your listening pleasure.
