Coming Up This Week: February 11th-17th

Ridley Scott's most iconic creations return to video games consoles, and Two & A Half Men is back too!
This week is perhaps a little more rudimentary than its predecessors, containing a host of exciting news reveals and entertainment releases that simply follow suite rather than highlighting the best of February. Nevertheless, there's plenty of thrilling new content heading our way in the next seven days, so keep your eyes wide open! Here's our guide to the week ahead...
HALO 4: SPARTAN OPS EPISODE 9- It's time for the penultimate instalment of Halo 4's extensive DLC co-operative campaign. This time around, Majestic Squad must race across Requiem as one of their own UNSC troops is given the order to execute Dr Halsey, leading to an action-packed battle which could determine the fate of the organisation. (Monday 11th)
ARROW: BETRAYAL- The Hood faces a tough challenge this week, as his enemies fight back. Whereas in past episodes of Arrow we've seen Oliver Queen hunting down his listed adversaries, in Betrayal a nefarious ganglord will attempt to take down Starling City's most notorious vigilante. (Monday 11th)
TWO & A HALF MEN RETURNS- There's no doubting that Two & A Half Men has become quite the divisive show since Charlie Sheen's departure last year. All the same, for those of us who do still love Walden and Alan's new antics, this week brings the show back for its mid-season premiere of Series Ten. (Monday 11th)
GAME OF THRONES: GARDEN OF BONES- Over in Westeros, the tyrannical campaigns of Joffrey are beginning to reach a dastardly head, and so Tyrion Lannister must act fast to restrain his nephew before his actions turn the entirety of King's Landing into an uprising. Meanwhile, the sibling rivalry of Stannis and Renley Bantharon also begins to reach its climax, as events take shape into a line of deception from which there is no return. (Monday 11th)
ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES- Between Hitman HD Trilogy, Dead Space 3 and now Aliens: Colonial Marines, February has been a captivating month so far for video games. With any luck, Aliens will continue the trend, picking up as the first new story in Fox's saga since Alien: Resurrection and indeed expanding greatly on Scott's famed convoluted lore. (Tuesday 12th)
DEREK EPISODE 3- Ricky Gervais' comedy-drama has already reached the halfway point of its first season, yet it shows no signs of letting up just yet. There are rescues, jumble sales and date nights aplenty in Derek's third full episode, proving once again that the show is full of life and should hopefully continue to thrive in Channel 4's ratings rankings. (Wednesday 13th)
BEING HUMAN: PIE AND PREJUDICE- Perhaps this is the most subtle episode of Being Human's fifth and final season. Pie And Prejudice focuses on Tom's exploits with a budding entrepenuer, Hal and Alex's visit to the deceased vampire Lady Mary's ghost, and indeed the climax of Mr Rook's desperate attempts to keep his supernatural-hiding department intact! (Sunday 17th)
THE WOLVERINE TRAILER- We're finally getting our first full glimpse of one of 2013's biggest superhero films this week. Yep, initial footage from The Wolverine itself will be here this week, promoting a big new clawed movie that's just five months away from hitting cinemas now. Excitement, unsheathe! (TBC)
AND THERE'S MORE- Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Sinister and Beasts Of The Southern Wild are this week's main DVD & Blu-Ray releases, plus expect to see more major announcements on the next-generation consoles front...
AND NEXT WEEK...Skyfall finally bursts into DVD & Blu-Ray retailers everywhere, the Academy Awards 2013 Ceremony arrives, Assassin's Creed III gets the first instalment of its The Tyranny Of King Washington DLC campaign, Halo 4: Spartan Ops reaches its epic finale and Sony reveal all in their much-anticipated 'Future Of PlayStation' event!
