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.

Less likely to chart highly is NBA 2K13, although that’s down to the relative small fanbase in the UK as as opposed to the quality of the game. Those in the know about the sport are saying very good things about 2K Sports’ latest.
