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 busy release week, but we might miss out on a true great. Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Dragon's Dogma, and DiRT Showdown are the most likely to be essential purchases, but wait for our reviews for the final verdicts.

Also potentially worth a look are 3DS arcade sports title Mario Tennis, PS Move wizardry adventure Sorcery, and Doctor Who tie-in The Eternity Clock. We're not expecting huge surprises from those three, but we're not ready to write them off just yet.
