Extra hot, please

And just like that, it's the weekend. To be honest, your humble host is feeling a bit drained after the excitement – and subsequent late night – of the Shenmue III Kickstarter, so you'll find no witty comments within this drawn out pre-amble. Then again, we exhausted our selection of those about... Oh, two years ago, didn't we?

I'll be punching Greek Gods in the face courtesy of God of War III Remastered this weekend. I wasn't really looking forward to this re-release, but over the course of the past 24 hours I've been reminded what a great game it is. Zeus, I'm coming for you, bruh.

As if putting over 500 hours into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt wasn't enough, I'll be hopping back into the shoes of Geralt over the weekend to see what this latest patch is all about. It's been quite a while since I've been off review duty, so the plan is binge on just about anything that takes my fancy, including The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited and maybe a quick stint of Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires.

This weekend, I'll be trying to catch-up on my episodic gaming by playing the various instalments of Game of Thrones, Tales From The Borderlands, and Life is Strange I've neglected to play in recent months. I have to say, I'm beginning to feel a little apprehensive about the pressure of so many tough decisions, and wonder if by the time Sunday rolls around I'll be a gibbering wreck.

After years and years of delaying, I've decided to finally bite the bullet and buy a PlayStation Vita. Between Persona 4 Golden, which I've wanted to play for years now, and monkeying around with Remote Play, I think that I'm going to have my hands full. I might cave and buy Tearaway, but at this point, I think I just really want the PS4 version.

This is the first time I've discussed a Nintendo game as part of Push Square's weekly feature, but I'm playing Balloon Fight this weekend. The respect and appreciation of gamers in response to the incredibly sad passing of Satoru Iwata has been sincere and heartfelt, so I'll join many others by cherishing one of his games in his memory. I'll play Balloon Trip mostly, but I'll also flutter my way around the main single player mode in his honour, too.

Most of my weekend will be spent flying back to my wonderful homeland of the United States of America, since I've been on vacation in Switzerland and Germany with family for the past two weeks. However, I think I might satiate my PlayStation fix by playing The Swapper or some other title on my neglected Vita. When I get back, though, I am dead set on completing Transistor after finishing The Evil Within a couple of weeks ago. Time to whittle down that backlog!

It'll be all EA Sports Rory Mc-What's-His-Face PGA Tour for me this weekend. My hopes are high – especially for the smooth DualShock 4 controls.

I've finally picked up LEGO Jurassic World, so I'll be spending all weekend collecting studs in Costa Rica. I've already experienced the classic LEGO humour many times before, so I'm looking forward to more of it.


What's on your agenda this weekend, then? Will you be stomping your backlog into oblivion – or have you picked up something new? Freshen up in the comments section below.
