Hoooo, boy – is that the end of another week? It means that we're one step closer to E3, which is both terrifying and exciting all at the same time. Still, we should probably make the most of these final moments of quiet while we can, and what better way to enjoy the silence than with some games? Here's what we're playing right now.

I'm pretty addicted to Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's multiplayer at the moment, so I'll probably be playing that as I fill time ahead of my next big review objective. I'm also starting to get the urge to get back to The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, which I've almost finished now.

My gaming cup runeth over as this weekend, as not only will I be continuing my bloody romp through DOOM, but I'll also finally get my grubby mitts on Fire Emblem Fates, now that we Europeans have been deemed worthy enough to play it. All of this is for a greater cause, though, as it'll hopefully distract me enough to forget that Overwatch isn't out yet.

Having eventually found a little time to myself, I'll be playing Ni No Kuni this weekend. I've finally gotten round to playing it after being inspired by the announcement of Ni No Kuni II at last year's PSX, and I'm pretty close to the end of the game. I should be done with it by the end of Sunday, ready to dig into Uncharted 4. (Yes, I still haven't started it – shame on me!)

Although I feel all "DOOMed out" from reviewing that glorious, gory game this past week, I can't help but feel the urge to jump back in the campaign again on Nightmare mode and get some of the collectibles I missed in my first run. Either way, DOOM is on the list. However, my primary concerns are to play Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and hopefully beat Quantum Break as well, so we'll see how that goes.

After a crazy couple of weeks moving from one side of the country to the other, this weekend I'll finally be able to catch up a bit on some gaming. I finally finished Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, so I'll be tackling the multiplayer component now. I also just started up DOOM, which has been a blast so far and really refreshing to the FPS genre as of late.

Not much time for me this weekend, but I've got a FIFA 16 Pro Clubs session lined up for Saturday, so hopefully that'll unsour my bad mood from Wednesday's Europa League final. Other than that, I'll be playing plenty of Battlefront 2 on the PlayStation 2, since it's the equivalent of comfort food for me.

This weekend I'll be saving up my pennies in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth's greed mode in the hope of filling the money machine and unlocking an awesome secret. Let's hope that my greediness in game isn't reflected IRL.

I'll have limited time for gaming this weekend, so short bursts of Rocket League and Uncharted 4's multiplayer will be my main sources of PS4 goodness. There's also the small matter of God of War: Ghost of Sparta, which I've downloaded from PlayStation Plus but have yet to begin. It's the only God of War that I haven't played, and my Vita has been gathering dust lately, so I'm very much looking forward to getting my Greek on.

For me this weekend will be full with Call of Duty: Black Ops III Double Weapon XP and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. I'm also looking to start Life Is Strange.

Beat Uncharted on Thursday. Working on Hitman Go
I went back to fallout 4 for far harbor and also a bit of lego dimensions since I got the back to the future level pack and the cyberman fun pack. Finally through all my exams (almost all of them, still have my oral exams in 5 weeks ) so got plenty of time to wash my backlog away (wich is huge)
Finally finished my exams. I will be playing Far Harbor and I might finally get to play Uncharted 4.
Reached level 18 in uncharted 4 enjoying so much. I have no idea how much is left but I'm avoiding all spoilers so time will tell,
Finally got home after surgery, first time in months, managed to pick up Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard at last after they were delivered...oh boy...
@BLPs Hope you're feeling better!
Might dip more into Valkyria Chronicles but mainly focusing on the Professor Layton series for now - finally got round to picking up all the games during the week so once I've finished off PL vs PW, I'll make a start on the Spectres Call & go from there.
Import copy of Disney Art Academy arrived eariler today so I'll fire that up at some point too.
Polished off the excellent Doom last night.
Picked up Valkyria Chronicles on the strength of the review here and been playing it for 3 hours, I am not disappointed - love it so far. Love that Vyse and Aika from Skies of Arcadia are playable in it too!
Hope to play some more Uncharted 4, want to get it finished off!
Just started uncharted 4, loving the game so far! Also finally got my couple of fire emblem fates a couple of days ago. I couldn't get the limited edition version but got the game with the t-shirt and conquest and revelations as dlc, stuff paying over hundred quid for the game.
Cracking on with God of war 3 remastered, and i'm scratching my arcade racer itch with burnout 3. (DJ striker is still a knob)
Ohh and some hero bound on my gear VR.
Caved with the PSN sale and picked up inFamous SS (never played any of the series) and Divinity for a total saving of £60 apparently. So, I'll probably ignore them and get back to UC on crushing. Or TLOUr on which I have made no further progress.
In an ideal world though, it would be Hyper Sports, as my old cab finally arrived a couple of weeks ago, but it's stuck in the garage and we're struggling to get it up and into the house
Uncharted 4 and the original Red Faction.
@sketchturner love Red Faction 1, and 2.
@get2sammyb It's painful. On so many different pills and got 8-10 weeks minimum recovery but..thats surgery for ya. XD Been chilling with Afterbirth actually, but figured Id give Star Fox a go....oh boy oh boy. Innovative and....learning curve. Also a bit more movement than I can take right now...
Uncharted Nathan drake Collection, won't be buying U4 anytime soon if the ND Collection is anything to go by to linear for me not enough depth. RL every now and then and a some F4.
I went up the Ely market (town where i live in) and i couldn't say no to a pre-owned PS4 copy of FIFA 15 for 3 quid, so i'll be playing that.
I won't be doing any gaming time in the week due to exams and the BGT Semi-Finals.
I will also add that in honor of Alan Young's passing (The voice of Scrooge McDuck) I will be doing a play through of Ducktales on the NES.
I'm on my second play through of uncharted 4 and I'm playing around with modifers and stuff. This is basically allowing me to make crushing really easy with theif vison, unlimted ammo, auto aim and the .44 😶
Uncharted 4
@kyleforrester87. Yeah I played Red Faction 2 many years ago on and enjoyed it. I always assumed the first game would be a step down so I never gave it a shot. However, after watching the Classic Game Room review, I regretted not checking out the original sooner. I've barely started but it is a heck of a lot of fun! And actually seems much better than the sequel.
Fallout 4 Far Harbor and Uncharted 4.
More Dying Light,Wolfenstein and Tales of Zestiria for me this weekend.Have also started the challenge mode on Ratchet to try and get those trophys..I pretty much have given up on getting the plat for it though as those hoverboard race trophys are impossible!
Not played any of Uncharted 4 all week despite being on chapter 6 so will have to find time to try some of that too.
And even though I had it for Ps3 and was unsure, I'm almost decided at buying Valkyrie Chronicles...it's just finding time to play everything
@sketchturner yeah it's probably the better game - I quite enjoyed the characters in 2 back in the day and the bit where you're betrayed. Not a patch on modern story telling in games but I didn't see it coming as a lad It's been years since i played RF1, a lot of the geomod stuff is crammed at the beginning though and it's a bit unmemorable toward the end. Still a classic FPS though!
I've just finished Uncharted 4 but I think I'm gonna play through again on crushing and have some serious fun with the modifiers 😃😃😃. Oh and playing through a bit of Far Harbour which is pretty damn good so far
I just finished God of war 3 and I enjoyed it more this time round.I've done pretty much all I can do with ratchet, so I've lent it to a friend. Might play uncharted 4 on crushing in a modifier that looks great. On the vita im playing God of war which is great fun and relatively chilled for a God of war game.
Dark Souls 3 and Uncharted 4.
I'm so behind with gaming right now.... Main goal right now is beat Uncharted 4 while it's still fresh. Then slowly chip away at Doom, then eventually work my way back into Ratchet & Clank and Dark Souls 3.
After finishing Uncharted 4, I've finally started The Witcher 3. Also got back into the incredibly addictive YuGiOh: Legacy of the Duellist.
Still working on the platinum for Dark Souls 3 . On NG+ lookin' for rings, yuria's quest, and a couple gestures.
Uncharted 4 in sp with my bro. I am getting crushed in mp so I may keep using Splatoon for my online mp fix.
Also Super Meat Boy on Wii U.
@BLPs
Agreed with @get2sammyb, hoping for a quick recovery!
Studying for IFRS exam but yesterday instead of me as a poor college kid buying the Libertalia Collector's Edition my girlfriend bought Uncharted 4 out of the blue. Which is awesome:D
PS4
Valkyria Chronicles
Uncharted 4
And that's it for me this weekend. Not enough time to play more than these and, I'm really into both.
@sinalefa It cant be quick (I just have to accept that) but it could do with being less painful. Thing to remember is the problem is gone, so its the up and up now.
Is Super Meat Boy on Wii U any good?
Forza 6. I keep meaning to start Rise of the Tomb Raider and/or Quantum Break, but I'm two races from completing the Porsche campaign, and the NASCAR Expansion dropped this week, so...
@BLPs
It is. I cannot compare it to other versions cause this is my first time with it but I see no framerate issues and loading is super quick.
I just hate how you are forced to use the Gamepad. Would love to use the Pro Controller.
@sinalefa Ah, that's good to hear. Always nice to know if its the case. Shame about the forced Gamepad but this IS Nicalis we are talking about here.
Just redressed my wound. Pain like it is not known.
@quintumply Get in you downloaded how for vita!
@Anchorsam_9 Sorry I sold fifa16 now.
Im looking to finish uncharted 3. I've also uninstalled the old blood and installed the new order as I clearly started the wrong game first.
@xMEADx After playing them all back to back U3 stands up the best gameplay wise. The first is a drag, U2 starts brilliantly then fades until the train section. U3 is good throughout but the story is forced. By the end you appreciate them more in my opinion.
legend of heroes trails of cold steel on the ps vita. Chapter four. 50 hours in. This game is easy the best gaming experience i have had this year and the best on the ps vita for awhile.
Iife is strange. Episode 5. Loving this game. Just started the final episode.
Uncharted chapter 4. Looking for so far but need to finish the above game before i can put a few hours into the game.
Good time to be a gamer.
Got my new console and uncharted 4 on Monday past. Also still have Doom in it's wrapper wile nearly finishing Uncharted 4. Excellent game.
A lot of games I wanna play but I won't get to all of em. Here's the list
Xbox One- Killer Instinct Dead or Alive 5 LR
PS4- Uncharted 4, Street Fighter V, Senran Kagura Estivial Vs, Skullgirls
Wii U- nothing
3DS- Animal Crossing, Super Hang On, and Ace Attorney 5.
Still have open world hang over from finishing The Witcher 3 a couple of months ago, can't get back into Fallout 4. So been playing a lot of Lego Marvel Superheroes with my 9 yo. So many characters....how does anyone complete this game !?
@rippo1971 Indeed there are alot of characters, but it is doable. One of the best gaming experiences I have had this gen.
I am desperately trying to paint half the house before the next baby is due and my hands are so sore, I can't contemplate any games. Want this done so I can finish UC4.
@Tasuki I've been holding off on buying characters, trying to save for stud multipliers.
I agree it's such a fun game, do you know is Lego Avengers worth it, or is it just more of the same?
still playing Uncharted 4, that game is EPIC!
Just finished U2 great game/story still not my favourite kind of game but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, about 20% through U3 enjoying that also. @themcnoisy yeah i've enjoyed them up to now I can see where the hype come's from tis just not the type I get hyped for I prefer open world's with loot and at least a little bit of customisation, well worth the £25 ~I paid though, ND certainly do what they do well i'll give em that. I'll get U4 sometime in ze future for sure kinda won me over I suppose.
Doom, Valkyria Chronicles and Dark Souls 3....
What an amazing gaming season has been so far....
Clearing the last ? marks in the Witcher 3 before blood and Wine comes out, Valkyria Chronicles (amazing!) and Fire Emblem Birthright which I am absolutely loving as a game but it's kinda annoying me with its "we are the good guys" narrative. I am probably going to like Conquest even more.
@JaxonH I am glad you are liking VC! Playing that and FE at the moment so things are a bit crazy and I'll soon be sleep deprived
@rippo1971 Lego Avengers follows the first two Avenger movies and Iron man 3 and Thor 2 I helieve. Gameplay is exactly the same as it is with most Lego games but the story is different. I have not played Lego Avengers yet myself so I can't compare it to Lego Marvel. I still need to finish up Lego Jurassic World myself.
I'm still 50/50 about whether Overwatch will be able to hold my attention long-term, I'll wait for review
This weekend has been FIFA (as always lol got Bury in the Premier league now! lol) and loads of demos off the Japanese store, Odin Sphere and Grand Kingdom are great fun!
I need to get back into VC too, loved that game on PS3!
Hope everyone had a good weekend anyhoo!
