Wow, what an incredible week – thank you for sharing it with us on Push Square! We've had a lot of fun covering E3 2015, but it's definitely time for us to shift down a gear and get a bit of rest this weekend. And what better way to do that than with a spot of weekend gaming? Here's what we'll be playing over the next few days.

I've been itchin' for a Witchin' all week long, but because I'm still relatively busy, I'm probably going to end up playing Life Is Strange: Episode 3 - Chaos Theory – a bit more relaxing, innit.
Kell Andersen, Senior Writer
After the madness of E3, I really don't want to see another video game for a few days, let alone play one. However, if I do indulge, it'll probably be something small and independent in order to wash the taste of AAA bombast out of my mouth.
Ryan Oehrli, Senior Writer
Now that the E3 dust has settled, I think I'll jump back into Trophy hunting. It's not something I usually do, but I'd like to have a few more Platinums on my shelf. That means I'll probably be revisiting Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Farming Simulator 15 has entered my house, despite a blanket-ban on all management sims by the missus, so I'll be in the shed with my PlayStation Vita, getting down and dirty (farming is a messy business) with the lads online.

Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, na na, Batman! Since I've been lucky enough to get my grubby paws on a copy of Batman: Arkham Knight, I'll be donning the cowl this weekend for a super-villain fuelled adventure in Gotham City. Since I was one of the few people that actually liked Batman: Arkham Origins, can someone come and check on me in case I die from exposure to too much fun, as Arkham Knight's looking like the best Batman game yet.

After spending near a week full on ploughing through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and barely seeing the light of day, I think it's time to peel back a bit. Good news: I beat The Witcher. Bad news: I beat The Witcher. Now I have to figure out what to do with my life again. I'm thinking going outside as well as a bit of LEGO Jurassic World. Makes sense to me."

Considering on Tuesday I rushed to pledge $60 for a physical PC copy of Shenmue III when my laptop can't even run basic games, my plan is to extend the feel-good factor following Sony's three big E3 surprises. This includes replaying the first few hours of Final Fantasy VII, re-reading Electronic Gaming Monthly's original January 2001 review of Shenmue (Issue 138), and re-watching the ever tantalising The Last Guardian E3 2009 trailer.

I believe Paris is calling for my love this weekend in Assassin's Creed Unity, which I managed to pick up for a reasonable price recently. You know, it's a truly beautiful, detailed game with massive scope, and while I like some of the big changes made here like being able to climb down buildings ever so fluidly, I lament at some aspects of the control scheme, removed features, complex menus, etc. It's a mixed bag for me so far, but by playing the co-op missions with a friend, I'm sure I'll have some fun with it.

Since The Taken King was announced this week, I'll be diving back into Destiny in a bid to ensure that all three of my guardians hit the level cap before release. I'll also be exploring Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls Online, which is sure to eat up lots and lots of time this weekend.
Sam Brooke, Reviewer
This weekend I'm going to be boring and play some more The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, since a glitch caused me to redo most of the game. I'll also play a bit of Just Cause 2 to quench my thirst for the sequel, which I expect to be my Game of All Time.
What's going to be your post-E3 tonic, then? Did the big show convince you to play a particular game? Are you taking a rest from PlayStation entirely? Spell out your recovery in the comments section below.

Playing more Witcher 3 on PS4. Going to fire Shadow of The Coloussus back up after seeing The Last Guardian got me all nostalgic. Oh and some Danganronpa 2, Steins Gate and Sword Art on Vita.
This is what I plan to do. Probably won't happen though.
PS4 - Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Vita - Killzone Mercenary
TESO it seems it will keep me company for a lot more weekends anmd not only.
On the rare occasions when I want yo give my PS4 a rest, I play Bindings of Isaac, I am so close to platinum it!
Ps 4: The witcher 3 and fifa 15
With myself: Beer/booze game.
Battlefield 4, Sleeping Dogs, ...
Been playing Witcher 3 with my wife. Resogun and a bit of Towerfall as well.
Elite Dangerous. Xbox gettin some love this weekend.
Just won my second Karting championship in Project Cars so need to complete the rest of my invitationals to see what contracts I'll be offered for next season!
PS4 — Tomb Raider DE — Picked this one up during the E3 sale I have to say I can notice major improvements on the graphics over the original.
Xbox --Knights of the Old Republic — Picked up an original Xbox along with this game. Played it years ago on PC but never beat it.
Sega Genesis -Tommy LaSorda Baseball — The first Genesis game I've ever played. Going to be playing a few games of this with the fellows from work tonight.
Looking to progress a bit further in drive club and just started everybody's golf on vita I'd forgotten I had it on my ps plus surprisingly enjoyable
Played the unfinished swan earlier, didn't like it on my first run but enjoyed it today. Hopefully get a run on Alien isolation later as well.
If I get time I'm trading a few games in either Sunday or Monday if I get time so will likely be playing that new game as well.
I polished of CounterSpy and will be playing some FFXV Episode Duscae 2.0 while waiting for Arkham Knight to unlock.
On my BeastStation 4 I'll be playing some GTA V , got to finish this one up. I've had the game since Christmas and still haven't finished it yet.
Probably some more Injustice. Can't get enough of it. The only thing I dislike is having to quell my online urge until I get used to the MK-style inputs.
Other than that, I'll also play some FFVIII. No I didn't accidentally put an extra I at the end.
Ultra street fighter, don't starve, Mario kart and smash with all the good dlc they've been putting out.
I've been playing Alice: Madness Returns (PS3), just finished Chapter 01.
Steins Gate for vita
My mind is blown for three days, really a great title, in which I will feel empty after finishing this game
Always a dilema for me to finish a very good story ridden game. I will feel karappo (empty) afterwards. Got the same experience after finishing VLR and Danganronpa 1 (unfortunately the second is not better than first)
Well I picked up FF Type 0 for 22 bucks so will log a few hours there, still playing MKX & Black Flag, & may play so more Lego Batman 2.
Didn't play anything this weekend because there's a big week of gaming ahead. I just pre-loaded Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition so that will be ready Monday at midnight. Tuesday I plan to get Batman: Arkham Knight so the few days I get to play during the week will be busy and next Saturday and Sunday will be spent playing those games.
PS4- Fifa 14, Witcher 3 (second run), Super Exploding Zoo
PS TV - Harry Potter Lego Years 5-7
@Tasuki when we moved flat recently I insisted on keeping my old xbox, for that and Jade Empire. Still not gone back to them yet, but I will do, one day...
I've been battering the early access of FFXIV's Heavensward and it's absolutely fantastic. Very smooth first day for an expansion too. Well played Sqeenix.
I've been so engrossed in eso that I'm late posting here. Finished witcher 3 last week and I'm already level 13 in this. This really is the true rpg that I've been waiting for to waste my life away lol
