The upcoming might let you catch some decent airtime with thrust jumps, but sooner or later you'll come crashing back down to earth... But what if you didn't? Give two fingers to Sir Isaac Newton with eight of PlayStation’s best gravity defying moments.

As much as we all love pictures of cats that resemble Z-list celebrities, none of them can touch the tabby in this Vita gem. Gravity Rush’s feline gives Kat (the game’s hero, not another kitty) the power to control gravity. Cue floating fun using the handheld’s gyroscope.

Buck, buck, Bucking Bronco-aroo. Who needs a kids’ game about a rebellious horsey when you can control an emotionally conflicted dude with the power to fling men into the sky before bringing them down with an oh-so-satisfying crunch?

When you’re hanging with Professor Fitz Quadwrangle, the rules of the inverse-square law on universal gravitation (ooooh!) can go do one. After the madcap scientist gets trapped, it’s up to his nephew to brave the Reverse Gravity dimension and save him.

Giant spiders, natives who spit poison darts, and mind-controlling worms that steer their victims into pits: Limbo really hates children. Its small, silhouetted boy also has to contend with a factory full of switch puzzles that kibosh gravity.

Ah, the distinctly non-humble Gravity Gun. Has the great videogame overlord in the sky ever blessed us with a finer weapon? Capable of turning Headcrab zombies into undead sushi, the physics-powered mutilator makes floating and firing buzz saws in the spooky Ravenholm a slicey delight.

Isaac Clarke is a man of many talents. He’s a space engineer, he can fillet a Necromorph like a Michelin– starred chef, and he’s able to punch physics square in the face. His second game contains several zero-grav puzzles involving floating mechanical parts. Hey, it can’t all be alien murderising.

Vertical, horizontal – really, what’s the difference? In Vanguard City, black is white, up is down and hamburgers eat people (probably). Due to pockets of zero gravity, Davis Russel spends more time walking up skyscrapers than he does on terra firma. Take that, physics.

You’re not the boss of me, gravitation. Especially when I’m a badass Sith capable of fiddling with physics through my magic Force fingers. While levitating Wookies around on Kashyyyk would make Chewie cry, yanking a Star Destroyer from the sky is a gravity-assaulting treat.

We’re going down! No, wait, we’re headed up. Aren’t the laws of the universe at 36,000ft a cad? Early in MW3’s campaign, terrorist mastermind Makarov hijacks the Russian prez’s plane, resulting in some levitating, stomach-churning firefights.
