You’re witnessing Push Square history here. For the first time ever, every single staff writer but one will be playing the same game – way to send this editor’s obsessive compulsive disorder into disarray, Jamie. And what is that game, we hear you ask? Here’s a clue: it’s got really bored talking cubes in it.
Sammy Barker, Editor
There are Dregs that need destroying, and I have a particularly potent plasma rifle that should sort them out. I’ll be spending most of my weekend defending Peter Dinklage’s robotic alias from endless waves of samey enemies. Destiny is so polished that you can almost see your reflection in it – but, er, you know what they say about turds, huh? At least the guns are bloody good!
Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor
Destiny has still got me chasing the legendary light, as I continue to scour the solar system for some lovely purple loot. It's getting to the point where I end up seeing the dusty expanses of Mars when I close my eyes, though, so this weekend I may take a colourful break with my ninja pals in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution.
Kell Andersen, News Reporter
As the perceptive reader will notice, my true gaming passion lies in the smaller experiences. With that in mind, I'll be spending this weekend indulging in a truly obscure title. You play as an intergalactic warrior who fights wizards on the moon. It's called Destiny, but don't be embarrassed if you've never heard of it.
Nicola Hayden, News Reporter
Due to real life, I haven't been able to play on my new toy the PS4 much, so I'm going to be finally getting a good session in on Destiny. I'm hoping to also see if I can last longer than two days in Don't Starve if the night doesn't get me again.
Alex Stinton, Reviewer
This weekend it's all Destiny, all the time. Having hit the soft level cap of 20, I'm now on a mission to find the best gear that'll increase my light level.
Graham Banas, Reviewer
After a marvellous week’s vacation, it's time to get back on the horse and give my neglected PS4 some attention. As such, I’ll be diving into NHL 15 and seeing if Destiny disappoints or excites.
Jamie O’Neill, Reviewer
I couldn't resist buying Metro Redux after it received Push Square's August Game of the Month award. I'll start with Metro 2033 Redux, since I catch the Birkenhead to Liverpool underground train all the time, so I think that roaming through Moscow's railway tunnels and resurfacing in a nuclear winter snow-covered city is a fascinating setting for a game. [This isn’t Destiny, Jamie! – Ed]
Simon Fitzgerald, Reviewer
Do you even have to ask? It's Destiny, of course. I’ve been really enjoying playing Bungie’s latest this week, and have already completed the campaign. So, for this weekend, I’ll be exploring the Crucible in the hope of dominating fellow Guardians and gaining some legendary loot in the process.
Will you be spending the weekend in Destiny’s futuristic interpretation of space, or, like our Jamie, are you planning to play something else? Let us know in the comments section below.

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolutions been playing the demo for the past 2 weeks now onto the game itself
Nothing I'm in too much pain to play anything. I have the worst stomach ache ever and threw up blood.
@Dohv you been to the doctors with that?
Watch Dogs, Borrowed it from a friend for as long as I like. Seems really good so far.
@Dohv Bloomin' heck - get better soon, man!
Diablo 3 still.
I'm swapping back and forth between Diablo 3 and Fallout 3. I never finished it and after spending a vacation in DC, I thought it was fitting to finish it. I might play New Vegas afterwards, too...
Gravity Rush great game. Almost done with the story mode. Got 2 more episodes left until it's completed.
Velocity 2X. Stuck on level 42 because I need more XP to play the level. So imma be replaying some levels to get more XP.
Smash Bros. Demo Gonna be practicing for the full game.
I never knew Jamie lived so close. =0
The Golf Club. Easily the best modern golf game ever produced. Ignore all the people slating it, this is golf for golfers!
I have so many games to play I don't know where to start (I know, first world problem). I might try to get in some counter spy, and maybe dust off Lego Marvel. I did get some Dragon Dogma in today too.
I'm currently working on, Fez, Strider, and Injustice. I just borrowed it from a friend and I'm loving it. Never really was a fighting fan either. Plus I'm still grinding away at that last Killzone Shadow Fall trophy before the platinum. I'm pleasantly surprised at how many people still play it with the advent of Destiny
Playing Wonderbook book of spells for my #34 Platinum and then fast gonna replace that as lastest Platinum with Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Platinum (everyone that love JRPG should check out HDN)
re-playing Second Son and W_D, waiting for ACU.
I finished Velocity 2X, so, I'll be playing Azure Striker Gunvolt and Smash Bros 3DS demo.
Destiny, Diablo 3 and picked up infamous today which I'm really liking! Oh and grinding through Lego marvel with the child, gotta get all those characters!
I gave up on Lego Marvel after it kept freezing on me. I hadn't had a game freeze that much since Skyrim. The difference being I liked Skyrim to much to give up.
@Swiket Someone likes the D's
Anything except destiny, sick of this last year's ridiculously over-hyped game launches. It gets worse every year. Velocity 2x, wishing I had a north American smash bros demo code, but mostly diablo 3 with my girlfriend. More paragon levels are calling me.
Started Sly Cooper 4 finally. Got back to playing TR, boy did that suck.
I was having so much fun when I stopped TR mid-game a few months back. So i jump back in, get killed almost immediately a few times by 3 guys outside a hut. Then get stabbed in the throat about 7 times by some pipe in a raging river. THEN die about 5 times getting impaled on a tree branch. So I died over a dozen times in about 5 minutes. And all I wanted to do was back track and collect some treasure to ease myself back in but coudl't find a campsite god it felt so good setting all those b*stards on fire after. bwaa ha ha
Metal Gear Solid 3 & Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Pokemon Y.
No Destiny.
Okay so this weeks edition is rhetorical right? Destiny.
Gonna try to platinum Transistor this weekend, love that game. Then its on to more Velocity 2X to face the 1st boss. If there is any time left ill try echochrome ii with PS Move, I picked up for a dollar on sale a few weeks ago ( the game, not Move lol)
I am currently without Internet so no destiny for me. I'll be trying to make my way through the story of Shin Megami Tensei IV when I'm not on the golf course...
Uncharted 3 replay is the main course for me, best game I've ever played. I'm having some sides to with it though, a big of Sacred Gold, and maybe some unknown game as well.
Destiny, Destiny, Destiny and some session with my girlfriend on Diablo III and Injustice.
I'm going to finish the walking dead s2 e5 with my little sister. Also I still need to beat the last boss of act V in diablo III. I'm going to defeat the enderdragon for the first time in minecraft, even though I owned the pc version since mid alpha (now playing the ps4 version). And last but not least look on the moon for moon wizards in destiny.
Destiny!
@Jaz007
I am also replaying Uncharted 3, since I never beat the game on Crushing as I did with its predecessors. Mostly because the game never hooked me as the other two did.
Definitely my least favorite Uncharted, with the best part being having splitscreen coop. Me and my bro have played those levels for hours on end.
Oh and of course I will not be playing Destiny and I will be playing the Smash demo until my 3DS falls apart. Thankfully I have two of those.
@ztpayne7 excellent choices! Never finished New Vegas because of the freezing on PS3 so i bought it a few days ago on PC so i will be playing that this weekend. Also Destiny and Madden 15 on PS4.
PS4- Destiny
Xbox One- Madden NFL 15
3DS- Smash Bros. demo
Vita - Final Fantasy X HD. Just a few more bosses and I'll beat the game.
3DS - Azure Striker Gunvol. Got it a few days ago and I'm having a blast.
WiiU - Mario Kart 8. I'm finally doing good online and even managed to get a 2nd place.
Just got back from Texas (Amazing present for my 12th anniversary of fighting cancer). So I'm going easy this week just smash bros demo this week.
Finished my second new game plus of Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, and lots of Mario Kart 8 with the girlfriend.
@Splat I know what your saying, ive given up reporting errors now on Lego marvel.
Mario Kart 8 & Diablo 3 (gotta need that Zuni witch doctor set !)
And the Smash Bros demo like theres no tomorrow, perfect
@sinalefa Why are you trying to hate on Destiny? Lol
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Genesis this weekend, I felt a retro vibe this weekend.
@Cowboysfan-22
Great choice! Shin Megami Tensei IV is one of the best RPGs on the 3DS. I finished it earlier this year and I thought it was an awesome, although a bit dark, story.
Diablo!!
@XFsWorld
I am not hating, I am just not caring about it.
Destiny PvP...thinking of it as a primer for CoD:AW. Probably the most unbalanced multiplayer I've played in a while...I burst-fire 3 times into a level 20 player's head and they just turn around and one-shot kill me. Until I level up, I've been playing it like a rat...sulking around the edge of firefights with a sniper rifle or stealing other people's kills. Only way I can take anyone out!
Also...Atelier Ayesha.
@sinalefa Have you played the beta?
@XFsWorld
I have. Let's just say it is not my kind of game. I never play online FPS anyway.
Oh. At first I wasn't interested into the game until I played the beta, I think it's pretty good. But I respect that, I'm not tryna troll or anything.
PS4: Diablo 3
Wii U: nothing
Xbox One: nothing
3DS: Super Smash Bros (Platinum Member Demo)
Vita: nothing
Wii: Zelda Skyward Sword
@get2sammyb Aww, shucks, in hindsight I'd have preferred to have taken a bite from a fresh Destiny apple, rather than upset the team's applecart. Hopefully there will be another game soon, which all of the writers will be playing during the same weekend, and history can be made. D’oh! Metro Redux ended up being a worthwhile choice, considering I was aiming for a single-player focus, though. That game was a bargain, I enjoyed its bleakly inviting context, – along with a mysterious and supernatural story – which kept me interested enough to complete Metro 2033 Redux in a few sittings.
@NicolaHayden Yep, I live within a stone's throw of the River Mersey, presuming you can lash a stone a hefty distance, mind you.
Well I was playing the lay in bed and run to the bathroom game this weekend due to a nasty stomach bug. I haven't even been able to start Destiny yet due to that fact. I did feel better on Sunday night though but I went on a retro NES kick Contra and Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers.
Hopefully next weekend will be better.
