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.
Worth a look
It’s a week of good, but probably not must-buy games – that is unless you’re a Skylanders fan. Skylanders: Giants hits this week and is likely to sell an obscene number of units. 007 Legends is bound to pick up sales thanks to the hype around Skyfall’s impending movie release, but we’re still not sure if it’ll be a game to match the film’s quality.
Doom 3 BFG Edition is certainly worth a go if you’re yet to play id’s one-time cutting-edge FPS, while Dance Central 3 is set to prove again that Kinect is really a dancing peripheral.
