Must See HDTV (November 7th – 13th)

It will become hard in finding a sports matchup that equals last weekend’s ‘Bama/LSU showdown, but Fox will try because it dives into the octagon with some MMA this weekend. There’s also about a family-friendly Blu-ray 3D titles on deck, and the ultimate edition of a few series called Harry Potter hitting stores on Friday (pick up Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim if you are there, you’ll thank us later). Look below for the highlights this week, followed after the break by our weekly listing of what to go looking out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
The king is back. The trendy Warfare series has reigned over the console shooter pile for the previous few years and it’s no secret why. a mixture of fast-paced action and precise controls make it the net game of choice for lots of (some prefer the Battlefield games, it is a matter of taste). This year’s edition once more hails from the offices of Infinity Ward, birthplace of the precise this series has to give so this one is a must-buy. The sole thing giving us pause? a brand new “Elite” feature, which adds online stat tracking and more for hardcore players, but on the hefty price of $49 a year.
(November 8th, $56.99 on Amazon)

UFC on Fox
CBS tried bringing MMA fighting to network TV a few years ago but hasn’t had any bouts afterward, opening the door for this weekend’s light heavyweight match on Fox. Cain Velasquez is without doubt one of the scariest humans alive, but he appears to have a value competitor coming for his title in Junior Dos Santos. We’ve been fans of UFC for a short while, if expensive PPV matches and reality TV-style The final Fighter were the single thing keeping you at the outside, this may be the one who makes you a fan — or disgusts you beyond words. Look at a trailer embedded after the break.
(November 12th, Fox, 9PM)

Death Valley
Attempting to find a a zombie alternative to The Walking Dead (which actually improved this weekend — apparently someone finally told the writers that less is more)? You’ve found it. MTV’s Cops-style mockumentary follows officers around an alternative reality L. a. populated by werewolves, vampires and more otherworldly creatures with a campy humorousness throughout. Beware however, here anyone can become a meal for the folk they’re pursuing, including members of the camera crew.
