Heads-up: What's new this week

A look ahead to Friday's new releases.

Welcome to Heads-up, our 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.

Worth a look: Mafia II - Xbox 360, PS3 and PC

You'll have to wait a few days for our review, but we've already seen enough of 2K's Mafia 2 to know it's worth a look. If open world action games aren't your thing, this isn't going to change your opinion, but fans of GTA and the like will find a lot to enjoy, and it's a hell of a lot better than EA's Godfather series. It's got some top class voice acting too, as long as you don't mind a fair bit of strong language.

And the rest…
