Coming Up This Week: December 3rd-9th

The Spike Video Game Awards bring shock reveals, plus Merlin and An Idiot Abroad continue this week!
With FarCry 3 here shaking up the video gaming charts, the Autumn Of Gaming is well and truly over. This week is a little quieter for it, then, and yet there are still a few great releases heading our way in the next seven days that you'll want to look out for. Just what are they? To find out the answer to that question, look no further...
AN IDIOT ABROAD 3 EPISODE TWO- Karl and Warwick are travelling further across the route that Marco Polo once voyaged on this week, entering an all-manner of mishaps along the way. With any luck, things should go down better for Karl in India than they did in the first season of An Idiot Abroad this time around with company, but given how well Karl gets on with his dwarf companion, sparks still could well fly! (Friday 7th)
SPIKE VIDEO GAME AWARDS 2012- The Spike VGAs are always a big annual event for the video gaming industry, and the 2012 ceremony is no different in this respect. Packing exclusive reveals of South Park, Tomb Raider, Gears Of War, The Last Of Us, BioShock and plenty of new and unannounced 2013 games, the VGAs will be a game-changing event for gamers the likes of which we haven't seen since in E3 back in the Summer. (Friday 7th)
MERLIN: THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS- Our favourite rendition of the Arthurian legend is racing towards its climax, and this week it's Merlin himself who's under the greatest threat of all. As Morgana hunts down her old foe Alator in the hope of discovering Emrys' identity, the warlock must make the ultimate journey to stop the High Priestess from reigning dominant over the realms of magic...four episodes left now! (Saturday 8th)
AND THERE'S MORE- The Dark Knight Rises and The Bourne Legacy are this week's big DVD and Blu-Ray releases, while Paper Mario Sticker Star is perhaps the final major video game release of 2012, and Arrow continues its broadcasting of Season One on Sky1 tomorrow.
AND NEXT WEEK...The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is finally here as the big climactic film for 2012's cinema offerings, while An Idiot Abroad reaches its hilarious finale and Merlin sees Mordred finally take the turn to the dark side in its third-from-last ever episode...
