Champions League final day has arrived, which means that we're hours away from seeing two cagey Spanish teams cancel each other out for 90 minutes. That's not stopped the British contingent of Push Square Towers from feeling giddy, though, with Euro 2016 mere weeks away as well. Toss in the Olympics and Wimbledon, too, and who needs the delayed No Man's Sky, eh?

I haven't got any big gaming plans this weekend, so I'll be sticking with my current obsessions: Overwatch and Uncharted 4 multiplayer. Both of these scratch slightly different competitive itches, but I'm really enjoying them both.

Exams are over, which means I finally have time to dig into Uncharted 4. After playing the first few missions, I am elated to report that Nathan Drake's perfect hair remains intact.

This weekend, l'll be playing a lot more Overwatch ahead of writing the review. What do I think of Blizzard's foray into shooters so far? Well, you're going to have to wait to find out.

The NBA Conference Finals are in full swing, so I'll be living out my basketball dreams in NBA 2K16 on PS4 in an attempt to take the Detroit Pistons all the way to the championship.

With a three day weekend in the states, I'm hoping to spend at least a little bit of time with my PlayStation. While I wait, rather impatiently, for The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine, I'll probably spend a little time with Rainbow Six: Siege, which even several months on, I still can't get enough of it. I might give the Uncharted 4 multiplayer a try too, now that I've finished the campaign.

Better late than never, right? Having finally picked up a copy of Uncharted 4, I'll be making my way through Naughty Dog's latest (and apparently greatest) this weekend. I might also drop in for a game or two on Star Wars Battlefront having had some great sessions with friends over the last couple of days. Ignoring the naysayers, I still think this is a really underappreciated game.

I'd like to make more progress in Uncharted 4, but I probably won't be making much of it with Overwatch hanging over my head. So yes, I'll definitely be playing a load of matches in that glorious multiplayer game with (some) of my favourite characters like McCree, Widowmaker, Soldier 76, and Zenyatta.

This weekend I will be attempting to "git gud" at Tracer in Overwatch, and "remain gud" in a new Dark Souls III run with dex and faith.
Marcello Apostolico, Reviewer
Cowabunga β it's the weekend! And based on my hint, yes, my weekend will be spent playing TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan. I'm also looking to cram in some more Uncharted 4 multiplayer time in as well.
Sam Brooke, Reviewer
I'll be continuing with my foray into more PS2 games this weekend, with Spider-Man 2 and Call of Duty: Finest Hour the top of my list. A bit of Rocket League wouldn't go amiss, either β unlike all of my shots, of course.

My No Man's Sky money is burning a hole in my pocket; with Hello Games' latest being delayed a few weeks, I can suddenly afford something new! Overwatch is looking extremely tempting, but I've also missed a bunch of 2016's finest, such as Ratchet & Clank and DiRT Rally. Short answer: I don't know what I'm playing this weekend, but I've got plenty to choose from.

I won't have much time to game this weekend cause of the holiday and family coming, so I will be sneaking in some matches on Overwatch.
A big WAYP this week, with a few new faces β welcome everyone! All that's left to say is: what are you playing this weekend? Who will win the Champions League? Let's go crazy in the comments section below.

Dragon Quest Heroes for me
Dark Souls 3 and Doom
I've been playing Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. Damn good game except this one mission I'm stuck has me escape a forest whilst under mortar fire. The fact that one of the characters in the mission cannot run makes it harder than it needs to be and I've died many times already.
Overwatch. Falling in love with this game the more I play it.
Looking to gain the last 2 trophies on table top racing for the platinum.
Then One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 - only 9 years until I unlock the last damn trophy.
Dying Light,Tales of Zestiria, and maybe get back to Uncharted 4 and try and fit in some Valkyria Chronicles...so yeah,same old games,same old statement and the same old record stuck on repeat
@Neolit It's genuinely really good. I was in a similar boat to be honest. There was an upswell in enthusiasm on the site following the beta so I decided to give it a go, and I really like it.
When I'm not working, I'm going to try and play some Overwatch, and maybe some Doom.
@get2sammyb
Echo Night PSX on my Ps3
Nothing on PS4 sadly
binding of isaac afterbirth and tomb raider on Xbox One
finally Akira on blu ray.
Have a great weekend.
Ps
Not that much a football player but i will be watching the Champions final.
@Tasuki
I just beat Uncharted 4, so I will probably go back and find more treasure and mess around with the new skins that I unlocked. I'll be using my arcade stick for Street Fighter V, Last Blade 2, and Skullgirls. I might get in on some Killer Instinct on the Xbox One. As for 3DS, Animal Crossing New Leaf and two arcade Sega classics Out Run and Super Hang On.
Uncharted 4 multiplayer and Ratchet & Clank, loving both.
it's a great time for gamers and i didn't even touched Doom & Overwatch yet.
I'm on a short break and I'm in the "Venice of the Cotswolds" apparentley so no gaming for me but I did get my Uncharted 4 plat before I left.
Uncharted Golden Abyss for the Vita. But I'll have to stop and watch Shefield Wednesday getting promoted to the EPL
If anyone was wondering, I've gone for Overwatch. Haven't played it yet though, as there's a 9.5GB patch to download (!) so hopefully I can play some time in the next week. Looking forward to it!
@KratosMD I've always been hesitant about Sticker Star since I'm the kinda guy who NEVER likes to use consumables in battle...like I'll max out my potions and bombs in an RPG and still never use them haha.
I'm playing Yo-Kai watch (should I post this to Nintendo Life) since I'm too on-the-go to play Doom, Uncharted 4, Overwatch, R&C...and I probably won't get to for MONTHS
This morning, however, I just replayed the FFXV demos after not touching them for a couple months....suddenly, I am totally in LOVE with that game and am totally opting for the special edition!
PS4
Valkyria Chronicles
Uncharted 4
3DS
Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest
Wii U
New Super Luigi U
Vita
Severed
X1
Rise of the Tomb Raider
It's a full spread this Memorial Day weekend
@Neolit
Both are great. Gameplay wise I think RotTR is the better game. Story/dialog wise I think Uncharted 4 is the better game. Uncharted 4 is the better game all around imo except for the core gameplay. Tomb Raider absolutely nails the upgrading and crafting system (something not present in U4) and it's much more open with side missions and skills and FAR better puzzles.
Idk, they are both top shelf games and I would recommend both of them.
I've ignored the reviews and stumped for the new Turtles game to sate my new hack and slash urge lol I've bought Dungeons 2 also after seeing it on Twitch, not enough RTS games on console! I'll hope to start playing Valkyria Chronicles again too this weekend and the obligatory post-season editing of FIFA begins too lol
After uncharted 4, I'm playing ratchet & clank & severed.
Overwatch, bit of RL maybe a bit of BF4 and I might finish off U3..maybe. I still have Far Harbour I just can't get into it for some reason (it's not just because of the fog lag either). Maybe also a bit of BO3 but I think i'm done with that game now, I have my Dark Matter camo so I feel like i'm kinda out of thing's to aim for in that game.
Sigh - been decorating for nearly two weeks with zero PS4 time. Been giving Walking Dead S1 a go on my vita inbetween things and resisting the urge to get overwatch since I havent finished UC4 or started Firewatch or Life is strange.
After neglecting Splatoon the whole week I will be coming back to it. Also Super Meat Boy. I may finally finish Devastation and may start a new game. Candidates:
Arkham City
Rayman Legends
Ratchet and Clank
Starfox 0
MGSV
@shonenjump86
If you want to play SFV lemme know pls.
After spending an age playing DS3, then playing the fabulous but short Uncharted 4, then getting a headache and not liking Doom. I'm back to playing Far Cry 4. I'm in a games drought atm.
bit of overwatch and a lot of doom
Overwatch!
Played a lot with Mercy, got her trophies and now I am trying other characters. Tracer feels great!
Bit the bullet and got fire emblem conquest
I'm breathing life into my old ps3 by starting dark souls. I've owned the game for 4 years and never played it, shame on me. I love the challenging gameplay so much I'm going to buy dark souls 2 + 3 and bloodbourne, which I hear has a faster combat system. It's so satisfying to finally smash a big foe that seemed impossible a hour back.I completed God of war ghost of sparta and enjoyed unlocking extras in zeus arena. On the vita I will probably try to tie up trails of cold steel.
@sinalefa
Sure, I'm working in the afternoon on Sat and Sun so Ill probably play the games late at night. But I am completely free on Monday.
I'm <40% done with MGS5 lol so I need to fix that. And then Fallout 4 of course!
I've been getting some trophies in Smite today as it now has a platinum trophy list, I'll also be playing Doom & Dark Souls 3.
I really hope Paragon get's a platinum trophy too.
@Rapid
Bloodborne it going cheap on the EU PSN Store now, one version also includes the DLC too.
Doom for me, just playing through the campaign and I've run into a bit of resistance at the bottom of the tower, absolutely loving the game so far. Other than that I may have another go on Uncharted
I'm still trying to work away my huge backlog of games I own, this month I already completed some games including ni no kuni and saints row 3. I just started skyrim legendary edition (never got to play the dlc) and lego pirates of the carribean and I still want to start L.A. noire. But it's going to be hard to work my backlog away because I'm going to buy the physical versions of the witcher 3 heart of stone and blood and wine this tuesday and want to start a new game and I also have to finish fallout 4's expansion far harbor.
Playing Ico nice game but find it frustrating should have played it when it first came out. Realised how much games have changed over the overs in terms of camera movement and charcter control. I am enjoying the story though and can see why its popular.
Plodding my way through Dragon Age Inquisition. Never rush to play the game but love it when I do play it find the combat very good.
Playing my one chapter a day of Uncharted 4 trying to savour the game and make it last.
I've been backing getting my duel on in Legacy of the Duelest with my Exodia deck, want to finish the first episode of Michonne walking dead, and maybe some Uncharted 4.
Uncharted 4 and Doom.
@banacheck cheers man I'll be sure to pick it up.
Killzone 3, multiplayer only.
Now that uncharted is done, I need a new game to play. I'm finally getting back to Rayman Legends on ps4 (played it at PS3 launchwith my wife but she lost interest so I'm playing solo). I need a new main game. I'm probably between:
MGSV
Far cry 4
Tearaway
Broken Age
Tropico
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (yes, I am putting aside my feelings about the first game and I'm powering through these campaigns so I can finally get to UC4. Impressions? Well, graphically, it's mindblowing that Among Thieves and Drake's Deception ever ran on the PS3. And of course, the action setpieces and cutscenes are predictably well done. On the gameplay front, I still take issue with anyone who says they're anything more than average hallway shooters, and they're eclipsed in polish and complexity by games that came both before and after.)
Overwatch (I loved the game so much that I bought it multiple times across multiple platforms just so I could play with all my friends. It's easily my favorite online shooter since Modern Warfare 2, and in my opinion sets a new precedent for the sheer amount of gloss that can be applied to a game. It helps that it's pitch-perfectly balanced and a blast to play, too).
Still unlocking characters in Lego Marvel Superheroes, and just nabbed The Talos Principle on sale so looking forward to exercising the little grey cells on that one.
I'll be playing Overwatch as I haven't had much time to play it throughout the regular week. I might also dive into FIFA 16.
Going to be playing Doom and giving Nightmare a try. And then if I get into a masochistic mood, try Ultra Nightmare!
Done 8 or so runs of ratchet and Clank so back to Xenoblade for me
@FullbringIchigo Dem sales
Update: Already getting a bit bored with far cry 4 again so just bought Star Wars battlefront. See how this goes.
@dryrain yeah the fixed camera really makes it tough going back to Ico
@StaffyDog get The Order
@kyleforrester87 to be honest I was interested in The Order but was put off at the mention of QTE. I was never a fan of those since RE4
@StaffyDog I never minded them really though not sad to see them fall out of favour. Still, for the price it is these days I'd really recommend it!
@shonenjump86
Aw I work normally on Monday...
@sinalefa
Darn, I'm at work now. We'll play one of these days.
This weekend I finished off uncharted 4 but I'm going to play through it again and play some of the multiplayer. Also I've been playing fire emblem Fates, have been really enjoying it so far.
