Heads-up: New games out this week (November 2)

FeaturePublish Date 29/10/2012 - 10:49am GMT

A look ahead to this week's new releases.

A look ahead to this week's new releases, which include Assassin's Creed III, Football Manager 2013, WWE '13, and Need For Speed Most Wanted.

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 Monday 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 smash open your piggy bank so you can spend its coin-shaped guts.

This one's always an easy game to recommend, and this year is no different. Check out our review later today for all the details, but in short, FM 2013 brings numerous changes - some good, some not so good - and once again delivers an addictive management experience that is bound to have you playing long into the night, for nights and nights.

Football Manager 2013 - PC

Worth a look

You can find verdicts for most of these later in the week, so we're not allowed to say definitively if you should be handing over the cash or not to get that pre-order in. In all honesty you've probably already got AC3 pre-ordered anyway.

Assassin's Creed 3 - Xbox 360 and PS3
Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation - PS Vita
WWE '13 - Xbox 360, PS3, Wii
Need For Speed: Most Wanted - Xbox 360, PS3, PC, PS Vita

And the rest...

Farming Simulator 2013 - PC

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai - HD Collection - Xbox 360 and PS3
Train Simulator 2013 - PC
Silent Hill: Book Of Memories - PS Vita

Fred on the PS Blog said he knows nothing about a cross buy promo. And jusdging by the marketing done, EA don't realise there is a Vita version.

On topic:
Any news on whether the earlier suggested "buy Most Wanted on PS3 and get a Vita version" (or, something like that) is still going ahead? I would genuinely like it on both and that could save me a few quid if there's some kind of deal.

Tom did hint in the article that he wasn't allowed to recommend them due to embargo, or at least that's how I took it. Clockpunk in the latest trailer I'm certain I saw at least one blue coat on the pointy end of Connor.

I'm gonna rent it sometime next year as the main game never takes me long to do and I couldn't care less about the MP for it.

Also get all the DLC when it's all come out and is part of the GOTY edition for 10-15 quid June or July 2013 which normally happens with the franchise.

Surprised Assassins Creed and NFS are not recommended and only worth a look!

I had completely forggoten AC3 came out this week...! Still not sure if I will be picking it up, though - all depends on whether you kill ONLY redcoats, or if colonists/contiental bluecoats will also be fair game...
