Coming Up This Week: October 15th-21st

Uther Pendragon and BioShock Infinite return this week!
Good news, everyone- the blitz is coming. What do I mean by that? Well, after this final week of relative quiet, there's literally a big release of some sort coming for the entertainment industry every week between now and Christmas! Skyfall, Forza Horizon, Medal Of Honor: Warfighter, Arrow, Elementary, the Iron Man 3 trailer, Assassin's Creed III, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Halo 4, Call Of Duty: Black Ops II, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Hitman: Absolution, Life Of Pi, The Muppets Christmas Carol, the WiiU, New Super Mario Bros U, ZombiU, Far Cry 3, LEGO The Lord Of The Rings, Merlin, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Nativity 2, Outnumbered and of course Doctor Who are all headed our way in the next ten weeks or so, so these last seven days of quietness should be pretty tolerable. All the same, there are still some releases here, so let's round them up...
007 LEGENDS- Bond is back...but not as you expect him quite yet! Just before Skyfall hits cinemas, Activision are bringing us a tie-in video game that draws together modern adaptations of Moonraker, On His Majesty's Secret Service, The World Is Not Enough, Goldfinger and Die Another Day for a blistering retrospective starring Daniel Craig that's sure to leave fans of the fifty-year old series more than shaken and stirred. (Tuesday 16th)
MERLIN: THE DEATH SONG OF UTHER PENDRAGON- Yep, the previous King of Camelot is back to see what his son's been up to in the third instalment of Merlin Series Five. When Arthur is given the power to summon the dead, he knows exactly who to turn to, but when the spirit world unleashes its darkest remnants upon his kingdom, Merlin must race against time to send Uther back from whence he came-no matter what the emotional spillage he causes his greatest friend...(Saturday 20th)
BIOSHOCK INFINITE RETURNS- Irrational Games have spent two months in the dark from E3 and Gamescom in the hope of perfecting their big new project BioShock: Infinite, and now we're about to see the full fruit of their labour. A new trailer for the finished game will land this week, no doubt packing a full release date and some beautiful vistas and setpieces to behold! (Sunday 21st)
AND THERE'S MORE- You can catch Johnny Depp's new fantasy comedy Dark Shadows on DVD and Blu-Ray from tomorrow along with a lenticular Blu-Ray edition of Avatar, plus Game Of Thrones' Sky1 re-run, Two & A Half Men, Anger Management and Trollied all continue their runs on their respective channels over the course of the week.
ON THE BLOG- We'll be providing you with the full reviews of The Casual Vacancy and Merlin: The Death Song Of Uther Pendragon as well as all the latest news coverage and a big new WORLD EXCLUSIVE to boot!
AND NEXT WEEK...Bond is really back along with Adele in Skyfall, while Playground Games rev up their gears with Forza Horizon, EA get ready to face off against Call Of Duty with Medal Of Honor: Warfighter, Merlin enters the Trials Of Fire, we get introduced to new shows in Arrow and Elementary and the Iron Man 3 trailer arrives! Yep, it's a busy old week for entertainment, and all of that is really just the beginning...
