We’ve got one major videogame release this week, along with a pair of smaller games based on already popular franchises. Sequels and prequels abound, but that’s not something we should really be too bothered about.

There are too many videogames to write about this week, which is just fine since I’d rather not try to think of something interesting to say about ‘Just Dance 3′ or the latest iteration of the ‘Dance Dance Revolution’ franchise.
