Heads-up: What's new this week

A look ahead to Friday's new releases.

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: UEFA Euro 2008, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PC, PSP
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland didn't make it into the main event, but gamers can wipe away the tears and see their home nation lift the trophy in EA's UEFA Euro 2008 video game.

The game features over 50 European national teams and EA is promising a new game mode called Captain Your Country, enabling players to put themselves on the pitch, earn the captaincy of their team and inspire their country to glory.

If you haven't already done so there's also a demo available for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, which are certainly worth a download.

Also out this week
Time Crisis 4, PS3: The arcade to home console port isn't as popular as it once was, but fans of arcade stalwart Time Crisis are in for a treat with the PS3 release of Time Crisis 4. Sold with the new G-Con gun controller the game brings the arcade experience to your home, plus an all-new first-person shooter mode which utilises the dual analogue sticks which have been cleverly incorporated into the G-Con's design.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 - Legacy Edition, Xbox 360: The GRAW series has proved mighty popular on the Xbox 360 and with the release of GRAW 2 Legacy Edition Ubisoft is offering those yet to take up the challenge a chance to get into the action at a cheaper price. Not only is the game available at a budget price, but it also includes all previously released DLC which means players will have access to 32 additional maps (new and classic), new game modes, cooperative missions and exclusive additional weapons.
