Issue 65, already? Blimey, the weeks just fly by, don't they? We're now approaching a couple of quiet weeks on Planet PlayStation, so there's never been a better time to put a dent into your backlog. But will it be older games padding out your itinerary this week, or are you still working through more recent releases? Here's what our team are up to...

I'm playing all sorts this weekend, as I attempt to fulfil my review duties. First, I'll be backcombing my hair and eating doughnuts in LA Cops, before unleashing my inner-dictator in Tropico 5. It's the intriguing MonsterBag that I'm most looking forward to, though; my first impressions were pretty positive – but then I, er, forgot that I was on review duty. Whoops.

I didn't quite know what to expect with The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. Was it just going to be The Elder Scrolls with other players legging it about, or was it going to be a vast massively multiplayer online game with an Elder Scrolls skin? The answer is that it's a bit of both, and despite it being a little rough around the edges, I can't seem to stay away from the ongoing PlayStation 4 beta – which must be a good sign, right?

Ben Potter, Video Editor

Yeah, that's right: I'm still aboard the Bloodborne hype train. My duties as reviewer may have been fulfilled a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still discovering new areas that I've never been to before – as well as their optional bosses. Granted, I can destroy them with a withering look at this point, but each boss downed is one step closer to the Platinum – and you'd best believe that I'm getting that Platinum.

I didn't finish Bloodborne last weekend as I hoped. Instead, I managed to disappear into a Chalice Dungeon-shaped hole, as I tried to find the point at which their difficulty overtook my skills. Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long to get to that point, so this weekend, I'm back to finishing the main part of the game. Well, maybe.

Graham Banas, Reviewer

I'm in the midst of reviewing Double Fine's Broken Age, including the yet to be released Act 2. I don't really anticipate having much time for anything else this weekend, but maybe I can squeeze some Mortal Kombat X in there? I certainly hope so.

All that stands in my way of graduating college in a week are final exams, so to break up the monotony of studying for them, I'll be trying to take down The One Reborn boss in Bloodborne and moving on from there to see what other dreadful nightmares are next for me. In addition, I might throw in a bit of Metroid Prime since I'm doing a school presentation next week related to its developer Retro Studios. I suppose that can count as "studying", too, right?

We came to kick ass and share our weekend gaming plans – and now we're all out of weekend gaming plans. The good news is that it's finally your turn: what are you playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments section below.
