'One of Rockstar's greatest talents is for transposing iconic slices of pop culture - Miami Vice, Spaghetti Westerns or the gangster rap myth - into games with perfect tone and timing and an uncanny sense of cool. This episodic detective thriller may have showboating production values, but it's a slow-burner it repays patience with a compelling evocation of place and time and a surprisingly serious attempt to tackle the social issues of post-war Los Angeles. Noire unusually - and laudably - credits the sofa crowd with an attention span.

Whether you game on consoles or PC you can play a worthy epic this weekend, and if you do both, you're spoilt for choice. There's not a multiplayer mode in sight, and the only way these games seek to defend themselves against short shelf-lives or trade-in ignominy is through sheer wealth of absorbing, crafted content. And they're both long-form, resolutely single-player adventures of a sort that's recently seemed threatened with extinction.

They're both adult, not just in terms of language, violence and nudity but also seriousness, ambition and fictional scope. They're not exactly similar, and they're far from perfect, but they have a couple of important things in common. But this week sees the release of two absolute titans. We get gluts of quality releases, of course, and plenty of hard choices when it comes to what to spend our hard-earned money and free time on come Friday. Weeks like this don't come around too often.
