This week's a busy one for new releases - so much so, we struggled picking the best lot, and had to settle with these six, all of which are out this Friday, the 19th November.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One - The Video Game
Platforms: Wii, DS and Xbox 360
Price: £29.99 (Wii & DS), £49.99 (Xbox 360, PS3)
Release Date: 19th November
Based on the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 film, the game has you on the run from Voldemort, fighting for your survival - but this time, taking place outside the safety of Hogwarts. You need to help Harry, Hermione and Ron locate Voldemort's Horcruxes - valuable artefacts that store portions of his soul, which are the key to his demise, whilst battling with Voldemort's minions that are out to stop you.
Create
Platforms: Wii and Xbox 360
Price: £19.99 (Wii), £29.99 (Xbox 360, PS3)
Release Date: 19th November
We're not really sure what Create involves - something along the lines of creating a level then solving some challenges related to the level to get points to unlock various rewards. Apparently, it works by a domino-effect type mechanism, where the goal is to get something from one end of a level to another, by using the things you put in the level to help. All very creative then, and a lot easier to play than it is to explain - why not watch the trailer and see for yourself?
Barbie: Groom and Glam Pups
Platforms: Wii and DS
Price: £19.99
Release Date: 19th November
Bringing Barbie to the digital generation, Barbie: Groom and Glam Pups lets you pick from six adorable breeds of dog, that you can then care for, train, and even dress up. You can then show off your canine friend on the catwalk (or maybe it should be dogwalk), compete in dance competitions and photo shoots - all for a budget price.
EA Sports Active 2
Platforms: Wii and Xbox 360 (Kinect)
Price: £79.99
Release Date: 19th November
Coming bundled with the new wireless, motion-sensing, heart-rate monitoring arm and leg strap things, EA Sports Active 2 is a new fitness game that will really get the blood pumping (talking from experience here). EA Sports Active 2 gives you your own personal trainer, who'll take you through the nine-week exercise program, providing encouragement, feedback and useful tips as you go.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Platforms: Xbox 360
Prices: £49.99
Release Date: 19th November
The legendary assassin Ezio Auditore returns, this time on a quest to rescue and re-build Rome after it's fallen into ruins at the hands of the Templar Order, who are channelling all of the city's money into the Vatican. You'll need to explore the city of Rome, saving citizens, recruiting novice assassins to your cause and destroying Borgia's towers - towers which will 'free' each district from the tyrannical rule of the Templar Order.
FlingSmash
Platforms: Wii
Prices: £44.99 (includes a Wii Remote Plus)
Release Date: 19th November
Coming bundled with one of the brand new Wii Remote Plus controllers, a Wii Remote with the Motion+ accessory built in, FlingSmash sounds a bit like tennis crossed with pinball. You need to use the Wii Remote like a tennis racket to hit the little ball-shaped character, Zip, towards the enemies, bricks and collectables, in order to save the tropical Suthon Island from the clutches of the evil Omminus. And if you think you'll struggle fighting back the enemies on your own, you can always bring in a friend to play as Zip's friend, Pip, to help you bash your way through the levels.
