The Week in Games: Black is Back

Black Ops II is this week’s glamor release, and has been for a very long time. LEGO Lord of the Rings, Just Dance 4 and RIFT: Storm Legion make it a varied week for new video games. You’ll also notice a ton of Wii U titles hitting shelves. You can’t yet play them, but they’re there in anticipation of the console’s launch on Nov. 18.
