Thinking up introductions to WAYP really is the bane of this author's week. It's immensely challenging trying to dream up new things to talk about in this space, but sadly it's part of the job. Today, your humble host is going to mention Spaghetti Bolognese, as it's something that Kell mentioned in his submission. Is there a more delicious pasta-based dish?

I'm going to stop being a lazy reviewer and finish up my Sebastien Loeb Rally report. It should have been posted ages ago, so rest assured I've given myself a right scolding.

Did you know that digimon are the champions? Or at least, they will be for me this weekend. I stayed up embarrassingly late last night playing Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, and the session isn't stopping any time soon. Indeed, I feel I'm already hopelessly addicted to raising and training my little pals, and I just can't wait to see the beasts that they'll eventually digivole into.

Last night we had spaghetti for dinner. I inadvertently arranged all the individual strands of pasta into a grid formation, and then drew imaginary lines along the grid with my finger. I will be playing The Witness this weekend.

I'm away this weekend and seem to have made the fatal error of forgetting to pack my Vita. So, iPhone gaming it is. Top of my list to try is Pocket Mortys – a Pokémon clone based on the excellent Rick and Morty cartoon. Hopefully it'll turn out to be good. Wubba lubba dub dub!

I'm still knee deep into The Witness, as this is one of the most immaculate puzzle games that I've played possibly ever. My fondness for playing this game shows no signs of slowing down, and I fully intend on sprinkling this through the weekend, as I also jump feet first into Helldivers.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is love. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is life.

It'll be plenty of Rocket League for me this weekend as I gear up for the upcoming Push Square community/staff doubles tournament, intermittently cooling down with a bit of FIFA 16 career mode, and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.
Simon Fitzgerald, Reviewer
Another week of hard grafting done and dusted and so another weekend of gaming is planned. This time I'll be finishing off the Just Cause 3 campaign, getting groovy on the dance floor in Crypt of the Necrodancer, and scoring some more goals in Rocket League – mostly in my own net.
Stephen Tailby, Reviewer
This weekend is all about The Witness. There are still plenty of mysteries to solve, and I can't get enough of the gorgeous island and its intricate puzzles. Plus Sammy promised me Hobnobs if I beat the game's final challenge, so the sooner I can get that done, the better.

With the Super Bowl on Sunday it's got me in the football mood so I will be dusting off the ol' Dreamcast for a few game of NFL 2K.
G'wan, then – what are you playing this weekend? Have you treated yourself to something new, or are you dipping into your backlog this time? Let us know in the comments section below.

I tend to play games a lot more during the week than at the weekend. Might have a quick go on something though in that massive library of digital games. Played a bit of Helldivers the last couple of days. Quite keen to jump into Wasteland 2 soon. But also should finish off MGS5 but those last few missions ARE a pain.
I got the platinum for Dust an Elysian Tail last night and moving on to Tomb Raider DE
Kell's bit cracked me up this week. Very good.
I will probably end up playing Black Ops 3. Its double weapon XP and no doubt spend a few hours or so on the new Zombies map too...
@get2sammyb The scary thing is that it's not even a joke. I just had a shower, and spent 15 minutes trying to solve the grate over the drain.
@BAMozzy Yep I didn't realize that it was double weapon XP on Blops III so I will be raising some weapon levels on that as well.
Digimon. All day, every day!
Well, since the first DLC pack came out, I guess I'll play BLOPS3 a bit. Gravity Rush Remastered is my main dig right now though! Absolutely phenomenal game, and I can't wait for the sequel later this year! I'll be out drinking with some friends tonight though, so I'm not sure I'll feel like playing a whole lot of games. 😂 Might fit in either Majora's Mask 3D, FF7, or Xenoblade Chronicles X at some point.
Bravely Second demo! 4 hours in, and this is how you do a demo. It's as good as I'd hoped so far, enjoying all the obvious changes and the small quality of life ones. The improved auto battle settings are really helpful, and the way the Bestiary works is pretty great. The more you battle monsters, the more information is revealed by the party members as a conversation in the diary. Just a little touch that adds flavour and develops the characters and enemies aswell.
Can't wait for the main game.
Might also play some Black Ops 3 since I got that on Friday, and maybe some Helldivers if anyone on here is about later.
I'll be synthing weapons, taking photos, inventing, fishing, playing spheda, rebuilding villages, changing time and saving the future.
I need to get my final coin up of the year done in Madden & work on those last 33 special attacks in DBX, but it will probably just be more digimon!
@get2sammyb Agreed, Kell wins this week!
@kyleforrester87 The demo is over 4 hours long?
STILL trying hard to enjoy the Witcher. At least Gwent is kinda fun for a mini-game.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN ULTIMATE NINJA STORM 4
Genesis Collection and Project Diva F 2nd on PS3.
Should start Transformers Devastation on PS4.
For 3ds I am going back to Picross e1 and my dear Mirai DX.
For Wii U I need to pick up the Bayonetta Smash DLC and rekindle my love for Splatoon.
I figured I might as well try to platinum Assassin's Creed II this weekend. I'm almost at 100%, so I should just get it out of the way. Expecting to look for feathers, as well having to pickpocket civilians and using the money for the red light district.
Working through Transformers Devastation on Commander
@WanderingBullet yeah 4 hours 30 so far, I think I read it's around 10 hours? Similar to Defaults demo I think, I didn't actually play that one. But it's nice playing it knowing I'm not ruining the main game.
@k_andersen @get2sammyb Both the write up and the comment made me laugh to be honest!
This weekend I'll be finishing up Danganronpa 2 on VITA (v good but I prefered the first one), playing some Helldivers with @themcnoisy and @kyleforrester87 and who ever else might join in, also need to get back playing Dishonored: DE, liking it a lot I have to say
Playing Gravity Rush: Remastered & the new Zombies map Der Eisendrach, which is really good.
I'm um giggles ploughing through the Witcher 3. A little Weekend Witcher pun for you there folks.
Just got destiny this week so I am play that! I am an exo warlock and am chapter 9. I have been using a scout rifle. Those are my favorites! I was planning on getting gravity rush remastered but my friends convinced me to get destiny. I also went back to animal crossing new leaf on 3ds so I restarted my town and am planning on playing that until 19th when fire emblem fates launcehs!
Finished Game of Thrones ,played a little Battlefront , a little Rainbow , Kings Quest Chapter 1 , and just bought Mass Effect 1 and 3 from the EA sale , almost bought trilogy but realised PS+ had already given us ME2. Never played them so looking forward to some serious gaming and leave the multiplayer shooters for a bit.
Very tempted to buy Life is Strange after hearing so many great things about it ,only 15 quid but might hang fire a little longer in case it goes in a sale. After Liverpool's capitulation I have started early non my Saturday night beers. Mignolet is just not good enough. Bah. ...
More Fallout 4! I've neglected it recently but will play it all day tomorrow.
On the handheld front I've been playing Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
Maybe I'll download the witness. It's been a while since I played a good puzzle game and this one seems really solid. Otherwise I will probably go on with the first uncharted or Metal gear solid tpp.
Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, Army of Two Devils Cartel, Destiny, Gravity Rush, & Hell Divers
Destiny TTK and Gravity Rush.
I'm thinking Digimon, Persona 4, some Helldivers. And mix in some Tales of Symphonia. Hmm, turn based rpgs seem to be my flavor of the week.
PS4 - Gravity Rush, loved it 2012, still love it today, even better playing on a home console, imo.
PS3 - Yakuza 5, I really need to start making more progress in the story but there's so many damn sidequests, that are actually fun, so I keep getting distracted and before I know it, the free time I have to game is gone.
practice sessions in preparation for the Tuesday Rocket League All night tournament league of championship players from push square world cup trophy.
Tales Of Zestiria, a game which I didn't expect to hook me as much as it has. Great characters, great combat & an engaging story. I just hope that the next Tales game looks better than a HD PS2 title
Noone is trying HellDivers?? Have to say I was pleasantly surprised with how good it is. Easy to turn on and play a few missions, with or without multiplayer. Certainly the best game given away on plus in a LONG time, maybe since Resogun.
@WanderingBullet Just finished it, took 7 hours in the end
Witcher3 heart of stone dlc. Wow, they took witcher3 to another level. Best dlc i have ever played.
@brendon987 I have that just sitting there but I kind of want to wait until Blood and wine and play them back to back.
I've been flicking through my library and looking at quite a few games I haven't put much time into or even played. So I have now started playing Resogun and Rogue Legacy, the latter of which I'm having so much fun with
@Neolit Our thoughts are with you brother
Xbox 360: 007: Quantum of Solace
PlayStation Portable: WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2006, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
Nintendo 3DS: Rayman Origins
@kyleforrester87 Wow, that's a pretty impressive demo! I've just read that the bonuses you've earned in demo will be carried over into the full game. Nice.
@k_andersen Superb.
Just found out my brother has ff14 so we'll be playing that this weekend. This game is much better when you play with someone you know.
Waiting for the psplus games to finish downloading. Looking forward to Grid:autosport. I will say, I was disappointed in Grid 2.
Maybe if I have time, i'll jump into Helldivers.
I played some Star Wars: Battlefront and If My Heart Had Wings today.
@LieutenantFatman to make it easy for the last few missions in MGS5 get the infinity bandana it will help a lot
me chasing the wild hunt now
Still plugging away at Bloodborne; the old hunters. In between I'm on nuclear throne and Downwell on the mobile, may get a bit more Undertale time as well.
Mostly though, we're clearing out a lot of clutter from our flat and getting serious about saving for a deposit on a house. This means saying goodbye to my vintage gaming collection. So a few hours on ebay may be eating a large chunk of my Sunday.
Just got the last trophy in the bloodborne old hunters 👍
The orphan of Kos is a giant pain in the ass!
Out and about today but might hit the Vita and play through Home again. Might also do some Wipeout playing.
My football match got cancelled due to bad weather... But it meant I could finally start Uncharted 2, having some fun with it so far I'm 30% in but just taking a quick brake then back to it.
I'm a calm, rational, sensible man. I've never - not once - ragequitted a multiplayer game.
Yet I've alt-F4d XCOM 2 three times this weekend. So now it's back to Dragon's Dogma on PC, to grind the Ur Dragon to lvl 200.
Playing through Dark Cloud on PS4. Had it on its original release and couldn't handle the grind through the last dungeon. Hoping my more determined adult self will see it through. Had to laugh at all the Zelda: OOT references throughout, but love Level 5 and their art direction.
