Welcome to Heads-up, VideoGamer.com's weekly feature which gives you an at-a-glance run-down on the games you'll be able to buy or rent this weekend. Every Tuesday we'll pick out the best of the bunch, link to our reviews and previews and keep you in the video game loop so you have enough time to pre-order for Friday's post. Time to splash the cash.

Recommendation of the Week: Grand Theft Auto IV, Xbox 360, PS3
It's finally here and boy is it good. It's better than good. Better than we ever expected it to be. We handed the game a 10/10 in our review and we're already racking our brains as to how we go about reviewing all future video games now that GTA 4 has set the bar so high.
If you've managed to pick up a copy on launch then well done, but for those who've been less fortunate you shouldn't have to wait too long with more stock expected to be hitting retail on a regular basis. As for which version you should plump for, look out for an in-depth comparison later today, but rest assured that whichever console you play the game on you'll be getting a 10/10 experience.
Also out this week
Iron Man, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS: The movie looks super cool and from what we've seen the game is shaping up like an above average movie licensed video game, with plenty of free-roaming action which sees players donning multiple versions of the Iron Man suit - from the clunky tin man look to the super cool red and yellow number we all know.
We can't recommend the game over GTA 4, but if you see the movie and want more of the same you'll probably have a good time with the first of SEGA's summer movie tie-ins - Hulk is on the way later this summer.
