There is definitely something for everyone this week, here's our pick of the best releases.

Although it is not out on the Xbox Live Arcade until November 24th, Crazy Taxi's HD remake is already out on PSN. This classic arcade title has been digitally re-mastered in 720p with Surround Sound. It'll be just how you remember it as you race through packed streets to get your clients to their destinations on time, and with the low price of 800 MSP/£7.99 you're crazy if you don't wish to relive this fantastic game.
With the ultimate arcade classic Crazy Taxi or the revamp of Prince of Persia you will be generously sated with nostalgia, however hard-core current generation gamers will be swooned by Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit; we personally cannot wait for Crazy Taxi on Xbox Live Arcade, and we've all been having massive fun casting Stupefy and Expulso in Harry Potter through Kinect.
