Heads-up: New games out this week (February 24)

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.

It’s another busy week of new releases, with our picks being the HD remasters of the PS2’s Jak & Daxter games and Wii exclusive RPG The Last Story. The three Jak games will take you an age to work through and showcase a different side to Naughty Dog than we’ve seen with Uncharted. The Last Story proves that there’s still life in the Wii, although that life does seem to be purely for JRPGs.

Jak & Daxter Trilogy – PS3

The Last Story – Wii

Worth a look

Syndicate and Binary Domain both arrive on the same day, both offer sci-fi shooting, and both could be great or not very good. We’re working on our reviews and will bring you our final verdicts later this week.
