Heads Up — 10/16

Welcome back to our weekly online column, Heads Up. If you’ve ever searched around the internet looking for a current report on everything the Xbox 360 has to offer, you’ve no doubt hit numerous dead-ends. Heads Up attempts to alleviate your frustrations by offering a quick and complete guide to what you may have missed over the past week, online and in stores.

And the holiday onslaught of stuff begins! Start your shopping list with Dead Space, FIFA Soccer 09 and a slew of other new games! Not sure which games you want to spend your hard earned money on? Check out all the new trailers on the Marketplace, as well as the Xbox Live Arcade game Age of Booty! To top it all of, our Jewel of the Week, Saints Row 2 has hit shelves! Get going people!

JEWEL OF THE WEEK:

Saints Row 2

The sequel to the wonderfully madcap Grand Theft Auto bretheren, Saints Row 2 gives us a different take on the open-ended gangster game. From the gleefully violent main story to the delightfully goofy Activities, the streets of Stilwater are just as fun as you remember, and quite a bit more. So grab a buddy and take on your rival gangs and earn respect right now!
