This is the list everyone will be using to help update their letters to Santa...
Lots to get through this week, so let us get straight into it, shall we...?
GAME OF THE WEEKBattlefield 2042
Barely a minute has passed since we dove head first into the world of Call Of Duty: Vanguard, and the biggest major competitor releases their latest entry. While COD continues to revel in the depths of the past and WWII, the BF franchise is still looking to the future for its brand of warfare and mayhem. And bare in mind, this is multi-player only, so unlike Vanguard, there is no single-player campaign to delve into.
Battlefield 2042 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One and PC from 19 November.
