Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of November 5th

Remember, remember the fifth of November - gunpowder, treason and ... games? Was that corny? Yes, it was - but you try coming up with these intro paragraphs every week.

So when the fireworks finally end (in a couple of weeks - we all know how long "November 5th" seems to last these days), chances are you'll still be too busy playing any of this week's excellent offerings. Don't get complacent or over-spendy yet, however. There's more great releases to come in the coming weeks. Honestly, we're spoilt nowadays.

A new feature we're introducing, starting this week, is that we'll be linking to any reviews of newly released games that we've already posted. Hopefully this will help you answer your internal "to buy, or not to buy" quandries. All PS3 games are region free, so feel free to import. Release dates are hard to pin down, so be sure to contact your local retailer to make sure your game of choice is available before leaving the house.
