Well now, there are no shortage of new titles to talk about this weekend, are there? While we still can’t seem to convince associate editor Robert Ramsey to participate in one of these – he’s been playing Dragon Age: Inquisition as if it’s going out of fashion for days now – there’s plenty of variety from the rest of the crew, thanks to the wealth of new releases that dropped earlier this week. Let’s get down to business, shall we?

I think I finally like Grand Theft Auto V. While I could certainly appreciate the game on the PlayStation 3, I just couldn’t get into it – but I’m utterly addicted to it on the PlayStation 4. When I’m not actually cruising around San Andreas, I’m thinking about it – and when I’m not thinking about it, I’m probably asleep or something. Unsurprisingly, then, I’ll be continuing my adventure in Los Santos this weekend – and I absolutely can’t wait.

After our very own Robert Ramsey wouldn't stop pestering me, I decided to begrudgingly pick up Dragon Age: Inquisition. And while I would certainly never admit to having a great time with it – because that would be tantamount to admitting defeat – I will divulge that I'll probably be playing it all weekend. Ahem.

My spare time in the future will be consumed entirely by Dragon Age: Inquisition. With my current experience consisting only of making my Qunari Mage and going, "Ooo-er, that ice looks pretty", I'm looking forward to giving it some TLC. Thanks to my hubby already playing, we are taking a minor detour to re-watch Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker, as all lore seems to be important in the upcoming adventure.

This weekend, I'll be returning to Far Cry 4 to clear up a lot of the side activities I missed during my first playthrough. It's a testament to how much fun I had that, despite having plenty of other new releases waiting in the wings, my urge to get back to Kyrat is stronger. Who knows, I may even go for the Platinum Trophy.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare may have occupied me for about a week, but I've found myself returning to Destiny. After having taken a break from it for a while, I'm enjoying it quite a lot more than in the past. I'm also probably going to sprinkle some MXGP and NHL 15 in this weekend for a little variety.

Our good folks over at Nintendo Life are going to have a heck of a weekend because the next Super Smash Bros. and two new Pokémon games came out yesterday. Though Nintendo seems to be out to destroy the wallets of many poor souls, I was still suckered into being one of them since I purchased Super Smash Bros. Wii U and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. I'll be plunging into them for a good while this weekend with a little bit of Advanced Warfare multiplayer thrown in, and I might start playing an eccentric pinball game as well called Rollers of the Realm. Should be interesting!
That’s it from us, but the question still remains: what are you playing this weekend? Don’t be a stranger, and share your schedule in the comments section below.

I will be hitting the streets of Los Santos as well this weekend in GTA V on the PS4.
If I am not busy boosting cars and running from the law I might see continue some more car hi jinks but on the race track instead in the form of Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U.
I will be playing Vanquish, Stealth Inc 2 and Smash 3DS.
Yesterday I purchased Tengami and played a little less than an hour. A truly beautiful game, although it seems pretty short.
I'll be playing a boy of ac Unity and hopefully a bit of da Inquisition if I get the time bloody weekends are far too short!
It has been, and will be, a mixture of Dragon Age Inquisition and Freedom Wars. May even have another session of Unity. I have Monday off of work so I have extra time to play.
Since I have to wait for santa to bring me Dragon Age: inquisition and farcry 4 I'll be dying repeatedly in Alien: isolation and dying quite often in the Binding of Isaac.
Inquisition!!! Bioware had really outdone themselves with this one. Putting everything they have at their disposal. Which gives me even more hope for the upcoming Mass Effect game
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire e Smash Bros. for me.
Well my wife just started Dragon age inquisition. If she doesn't hog the ps4 all weekend I will play some of it myself.
Need for speed rivals and The last of us
Kingdoms of amalur. The expansions are discounted for this weekend so it gave me the opportunity to play it again...
I switched out my harddrive since the last time I played the game, so now I'm starting over. But that's ok, it's a fun game so I don't mind.
Exploring the wonderful world of Kyrat and dusting off the old Wii U with the arrival of the surprisingly cool Amiibos.
Final Fantasy X HD for me on the Vita. Aiming to finish it before 2015!
I got inspired to play Skyrim (shock, I know) and GTA5 is pretty rad in 1st person. Sometimes. Other times it's impossible. I also realized I hadn't played Pkmn Y for a year so I'm trying to beat that with my crappy team (until they're all over lv.50, then they'll rule)
i'll be playing far cry 4 and gta5. and wow. bout it
I just got the new Smash Bros for Wii U, so I'll be playing that.
Far cry 4. Nuff said. I bought every AAA release this month but I can't play anything but far cry.. I find it absolutely incredible.
Lots of smash bros wii u, and also some ac unity.
Playing GTA V, loving the first person yay! oO and some Minecraft, me and two friends keep switching between the two lol
This morning I would have said lego batman 3 but since I got the platinum trophy for it today I'm going to say extreme legends dynasty warriors 8.
GTA V then GTA V then some more GTA V. this game is awesome!!!!
Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mario Kart 8, and Call of Duty Ghosts.
Far Cry 4 and my daily dose of Warframe (update 15) off course and a bit of Destiny of Spirits (new event). No time for Samurai Warriors 4 nor GTA V (bought it but don't really like it) this weekend.
I, uh, got rid of my PS4 and all of my games. Too many games, not enough time...I can't seem to really enjoy anything I play, so I'm just saying "screw it" for now. Unless a new Turok game drops, I'm planning on taking a long break. Cheers!
Smash 4 (WiiU) and MAYBE some Dragon Age... but maybe if i can stop playing Smash
Mario Kart 8,GTA V and C64.emu on Ouya (Aztec Challenge,Armalyte)
The vast majority of gaming time will be put into GTA V. I'll try to get a little further in LBP 3, it seems like a great game, but GTA V has me hooked again like it did last year.
A little game called Smash Bros . My funds are tight and went with the game for the whole family Dragon Age will be my next buy though for sure.
This weekend I will mostly be playing Call Of Duty again. I just don't seem to get tired of jumping around like a loon and shooting people with akimbo SMG's.
Mrs Cat loves her Dragon Age Inquisition, but it appears to be a sort of dress up game / dating simulator with grindy looking combat and curious frame rate drops in the cut scenes. Pah!
I played 20 minutes of the original Dragon Age once, died of boredom, and my spirit went to Sovngarde. There, Nord warriors upbraided me for the error of my ways, and I made a solemn vow never to dirty my Dualshock playing a Bioware product again.
Far Cry 4 looks good but I haven't installed it yet. I wonder if they'ĺl do a Blood Dragon type spinoff.
Borderlands 2 and GTA 5!!!
I'll be installing Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition (PS3) later tonight, then hopefully I can start playing it tomorrow afternoon.
Otherwise, I'm avoiding Red Faction: Guerrilla, there's just too much stuff to do.
DA:I this weekend with a bit of CODAW thrown in.
Liking DA:I so far, first in the series ive ever played and really impressed, my only minor issue is playing as an archery based character I have no real control over where I aim my shots or does this come later in the game?
Switching between Dragon Age: Inquisition and SSB for WiiU. Both have been friggin' stellar games.
DA:I has been real fun for the strategy/rpg gamer, the amount of things to collect and explore are really high in number, I'll easily spend over 50 hours in this game and not get everything done. So glad it's nothing like the absolute snooze-fest that was Skyrim and it's myriad number of glitches coupled with loading times for close to everything you do. Walked into a room? Loading time. Walked outside? Loading time. Giant creatures are falling from the sky because glitches? Loading time. Save file too large? Freezing time.
The online MP for DA:I has been decent too, it just needs more maps with varying combat conditions.
Lazy day finally finishing off the Last of Us Remastered. Had been struggling to get into it this time round, despite loving it on PS3, but I put that right today, smashing it out from the dam through to the end. So glad I did now time to finally play left behind!
Been playing GTA 5 and that's about it I tried the online portion of it and boy does it take an age to actually load.
