And we're back with another edition of WAYP. It's a short and sweet entry this time (it's been one helluva week), but sometimes the best things come in small packages – at least, that's what this author is always telling himself. With the weekend here, you may be pondering whether to go outside – shopping, travelling, hiking, etc. Personally, we'd recommend just playing some good ol' video games.

I'm fighting the temptation to splurge on the PlayStation Store right now. I keep hearing intriguing things about Helldivers and White Night, and have had them both in my basket a couple of times. However, I have so much in my backlog that I'm determined to clear that out first. On the agenda this weekend? Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. Yeah, don't ask.
Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor
I'm a bit swamped at the minute, but I shouldn't really complain. I've started a fresh character on Dragon Ball XenoVerse, I'm busy slaughtering aliens with friends in Helldivers, and I've got to grind through Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines. A pretty decent selection, then, and I'll have a review of the latter for you lot at some point next week.
Nicola Hayden, Games Editor
I've been really busy this week with my new position [Congrats, Nicola - Ed], so there hasn't been much leisurely time for games. Having just restarted Transistor, I really want to finish it up before it gets put back into the backlog pile. It's two against one, however, as Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea jumps the queue to take the review slot.
Graham Banas, Reviewer
Not a ton of room for games for me this weekend (it's a busy one!), but I'm really hoping to spend every possible spare moment I have playing White Night. I've played a little, and it's very interesting so far. Not long now until Bloodborne, either.
What's hot and what's not for you this week, then? Let us know what's on your gaming agenda in the comments section below.

The Awesome Guacamelee & OlliOlli 2 on Vita.
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 & Destiny on PS4.
Uncharted 3
And Codename STEAM demo on 3DS.
I'm kinda paranoid to play my PS4, or any of my home consoles to be exact, because of the power outages we've been having in my area of the States due to this awful snow storm we got hit with, so if it's anything this weekend, it'll just be 3DS for me this weekend. I'll be playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pokemon Omega Ruby, Majora's Mask 3D, and if I can squueze them in somewhere, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team since I haven't finished it and Bravely Default, which I've barely touched and I've been sitting on it since its release.
I'll be playing Destiny, Atelier: Escha and Logy. I might get Guild Wars 2 as well and play some of that as well. I fit some Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires in too. I really need to stop putting so many time sinks in my gaming que.
I'll be hammering FFXIV as usual as well as continuing my quest to 100 in GTA Online (96 and counting). I'll have a dabble on the beautifully charming Fantasy Life on my 3DS too.
I just finished Professor Layton and the Unwound Future on my DS and now I I'll dive into Majora's Mask 3D on my New 3DS.
Other than that I'm really enjoying Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on PS3 and I plan to start either Advanced Warfare or Shadow of Mordor on Xbox One.
@JesWood13 nothin wrong with snuggling up with AC. I keep neglecting to play for weeks, so the past 2 times I've played I've had to clean up all the weeds! And can you believe you can't edit your pro designs??
Okay back to PS: gonna play Abe new n tasty cause it's a great idea (where the hell are my Jedi Power Battles and Lost World remakes?!) and my BF4 skills need resharpening before Hardline comes out
That picture drives you bonkers, lol! ^_^
Monster Hunter 4, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare and Tetris DS.
Helldivers. Stop complaining about it's price and get it!
Also, The Order, 3rd playthrough. Yep. I'm one of those...
@charlesnarles Same, haha. I had to pick so many weeds when I played yesterday.
I'm still playing Spider-Man: Edge of Time (PS3), but as soon as I beat it I'll move on to LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (PS3) or Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (PS3).
Teaching myself Unreal Engine 4...I'm tired of waiting for a new Turok game! >:0
Final Fantasy IV (PSP), Donkey Kong Land (3DS VC), and I might start Majora's Mask 3D soon. I've mostly played on handhelds in recent weeks, so I might start playing something from my PS3 backlog after MM3D. Probably Infamous 2.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Final night of destiny tonight when the gpc go to bed (gaming prevention children) then its being laid to rest Hopefully get a game In with you at some point later if you want. From sunday its onto dragon age thanks to the forums I'm gonna suck it up and stop whining. Then fingers crossed valiant hearts if I have enough time (I won't)
@kupo just seen your post, I thought unreal ed was impenetrable, if you need any tunes for your game let me know as I'm a dab hand with reason and ableton.
@kupo Someone's got to make it, right? Good luck!
Can't wait for the return of WWWW.
@JesWood13 the snow is finally melting in my area after being here for a little over a month...hopefully it doesn't stay as long for you.
I'll be plugging along on DA: Inquisition some more in my spare time...I have to work a double shift this weekend though so I won't have time for much else.
On my PS4- Madden 15 I've been playing the hell out of this one. I want to get into FC4, but I just can't at all. I loved FC3, but it's just something about FC4 that turns me off.
On my PS3- With all the news of Ratchet & Clank, I want to dig out my copy off Future Tools of Destruction, its been a while. I got that game when I was 11 years old, and now I'm 18 going on 19 and still haven't beaten it.
Not too much in a gaming mood this weekend, I had to put my cat down the other day so I haven't been in much of a gaming mood. Besides that I have to work this weekend, closing one day and opening the other.
@themcnoisy Cool, thanks! We'll see how far I get with Unreal 4...I may just go back to idTech4 (the Doom 3 engine).
@get2sammyb I hope someone else beats me to it. I haven't even gotten dressed today yet!
WiiU - Smash/MK8, you cant get enough out of it
PS4 - As much as i have a Love/Hate relationship with Shadow of Mordor, i finished every sidequest and found every collective, need to finish 3-4 missions and im dont with it
