Heads-up: New games out this week (March 28)

Welcome to Heads-up, our weekly feature which gives you an at-a-glance run-down of 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.

Recommended: Luigi’s Mansion 2 – 3DS

It’s fair to say that Luigi’s Mansion 2 is one of the first original 3DS titles that has got the majority of the office interested. This is a game that seems to have that special Nintendo magic that has been missing in recent times, and to be honest is what Nintendo has needed for quite some time. As well as the 9/10 awarded by us, Luigi’s Mansion 2 has scored well almost across the board, currently sitting with a Metacritic rating of 85.

Worth a look

While praise has been lavished on Luigi’s Mansion 2, it’s far from being the week’s biggest release. That accolade goes to the highly anticipated BioShock Infinite. You can find our review here. It’s a game that is likely to cause lots of discussion, but is let down by numerous flaws.

Also out is the explosive but silly Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel, technically ropey but funny LEGO City: Undercover on Wii U, Tiger’s latest golf sim, and the PS3/Vita cross-buy Sly Cooper comeback game, Thieves in Time.
