The next-generation of video gaming begins, the FarCry franchise returns and An Idiot Abroad hits its third season in the next seven days!It feels almost impossible, but it turns out that we really are heading into the final month of 2012 this week. Again, the next seven days are rather jam-packed with big new releases, so although the Autumn Of Gaming is over, things won't quiet down anytime soon for the entertainment industry. As we run up to Christmas, there are still huge things to come, and thus you musn't lower expectations despite November's big blitz of releases. Here's the full round-up of this week's big releases...

FARCRY 3- Ubisoft are bouncing back after their hit success of Assassin's Creed III with another big Game Of The Year contender.
