With the Great Weekend of Sport over, it's time for the Great Weekend of Gaming – at least that's what we're dubbing it here at Push Square Towers. There may not be many major titles deploying at the moment, but there are some decent offers on the PlayStation Store – and we've all got backlogs to bust. Here's what we're playing.

My grades for this semester at Uni will be released this weekend. If I get good grades I will be playing DOOM as a triumphant victory lap. If I get bad grades I will be playing DOOM as a means of violently venting my frustration.

This weekend, I'll be bopping my way back to Coney Island as I play more of Rockstar's excellent PS2 brawler, The Warriors. When I'm not coming out to play with the rest of New York's gangs, I'll also be continuing my quest to try and finish The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

I'll be trying to complete The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt this weekend, as it's ridiculous that I haven't already. I'll probably mix some Trackmania Turbo in too, as well as a little WWE 2K16.

This weekend my PS4 is taking a break as I'll be out in the sun playing a gentleman's game of cricket – if only there was a decent cricket video game. Other than that a slight Pokémon Go addiction needs fuelling and Overwatch needs to be mastered.

I'll be living in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine as I play through Song of the Deep for review this weekend. Aside from that, I may play one or two games of Rocket League with friends, but I'll be focusing on Insomniac's nautical adventure as I do my best not to flood the review with puns. Ah, darn it.

This weekend will be all about Call of Duty: Black Ops III, with the new maps and new mode available now there is a lot to keep me busy. And of course when I am out and about I will be hunting Pokémon with Pokémon Go.
That's the plans of the Push Square team exhausted, then, so now it's time for you to share your itinerary. What are you playing this weekend? Let us know down below.

Got a starter pack for Neverwinter, so I spend most of my time leveling my paladin. Also got Legion pre ordered and I will spend a bit time to better gear my boosted rogue
As the new cod maps are down I'll be putting some time into those , and taking advantage of the weapon 2xp to me a few of the weapons I don't use much. Also downloaded the free to play hawken mech game to try at something. And if I can't get on the ps4 I've got God of war 1 I'm playing through on my vita.
Played a few hours of the GTA Cunning Stunts update. It's a lot of fun. Also making good progress in Mad Max. Well worth buying this week. It's around 18 euros on the EU store.
@KratosMD I need to get Alienation. I'm disgusted with myself as a Housemarque fan that I haven't played it yet.
Combo of Yugioh or Lego Force Awakens but if I'm going out I will be continuing my quest to be a pokemon master in Pokemon Go
@get2sammyb Just do it! It's less than a tenner in the sale I think!
Just Platinumed Infamous 2 and got back to gauntlet.
Thinking about getting back to Tearaway or Until Dawn. it's such a shame that I can only play Until Dawn late at night, because if it's not dark enough, it breaks the immersion.
I finished lego force awakens and everybody's gone to the rapture last night. EGTTR is by far the best walking sim I've played so far by a country mile.
Tonight I can choose between starting either SOMA or The Vanishing of Eathan Carter or finishing Gravity Rush Remastered hmmm maybe a bit of all three.
Playing the Resi remaster and have just completed the under 3 hours run. I was gonna go for a platinum but it seems to require a lot of playthroughs.
I'm also getting stuck into Dragon's Crown on my Vita. Archer all the way.
Just finished playing inside on steam, the game ending is bizzare, I don't get the story, with the exception of graphics, limbo is better. Next I want to play furi and god of war 3, I just got gow 3 from ps sales week 2

I finished and received the platinum for Far Cry Primal and now have handed it back to my mate who lent it to me three weeks ago.An amazing game and quite possibly my favourite far cry..wouldn't be upset if they did more like that one..
So gone back to Dying Light and still loving it..63 hours spent playing but I think I'm right at the end now.
Went back to Tales of Zestiria which I have spent 55 hours on but have tried defeating the final boss 8 times so far but that's it,all that time wasted only to hit a brick wall...the first Tales game I won't be finishing..
And I'll also be continuing my Persona 4 Golden adventure..Still can't make up my mind whether I should cheat on Yukiko with Rise..
Just finished Resident evil 5 and have now just started the two Witcher expansions, clearing up a few games to get ready for No Mans Sky.
I really have a feeling that No Mans Sky could be something a bit special...
@Wazeddie22. I agree Far Cry Primal is a great game. I never thought I would enjoy a FC game as much as Blood Dragon but Primal proved me wrong.
After finishing Uncharted 4 during the week it is back to The Witcher for some Blood and Wine.
X1. DOOM loved the game, finished last weekend, just getting the last achievements, and getting along with the original 1993 DOOM.
Wiiu. Splatoon, Ballon Fight and Super Mario RPG.
3ds. Hatsune Miku and Ocarina of Time 3D.
Vita. God of war 2 and Last reward.
PS4. Nothing as i'll be away from it for a few months BC is a thousand kms away from me, with my brother cause his ps4 was stolen with his ps3 too, so for a while until he get a new one no ps4 games for me.
Dead space 3 on the PS3. Starting uncharted 4 on PS4 soon.
Not sure, have take quite the gaming break as of late, I want to play something but haven't felt inspired enough to do so. Really can't wait for Hyper Light Drifter and of course NMS, but until then I just don't know. Was thinking of picking up Aliennation, what do you guys think of it, and any other recommendations?
Bit of Axiom Verge on Vita
Still playing ESO in between Hardline and now TV.
Plowing through shadow of mordor Lord of the hunt dlc, progressing through gravity rush on vita and also got killzone mercenary on the ps TV. It works really well and plays like a dream using ds4.
Fallout 4, Valkyria Chronicles, MGS5. The trifecta
I'll be playing Monster Hunter Generations for the next millennium or so, but I'll still try to find time for Borderlands 2 and Song of the Deep on PS4.
Windows Phone
Ice Age Village
Contract Killer
Xbox 360
Dash of Destruction
@Tasuki Is Blood Dragon that good?I have it still on the ps3 from when it was available with PS Plus but not even looked at it yet,maybe it's about time I did..?
I'll be playing some diamond dynasty in mlb 16 as well as some sly 2...and turtles....for multiplayer games it will be overwatch and uncharted 4
@ROBALEXXX
Man, sorry to hear that.
I will be trying to beat Mighty No 9. I am liking the game after beating 5 mighties. Hate the load times but framerate has been decent and bosses are a pain until they click.
I will be picking up the Splatoon amiibo later today so I may fire it up to check the Squid Sisters.
@KratosMD Sounds like a good weekend, saying God of War 3 is "excellent" is a huge understatement IMHO! Shadowfall is SUCH a different game than all of the others...hope you like it. You should definitely play multiplayer at some point: one of my favorite multiplayer shooters ever!
I'm out and about all weekend with the wife with only my phone. Luckily I finally learned how to actually control and enjoy mobile shooters and am going through the Modern Combat series game-by-game. Anybody have any suggestions for some other mobile shooters? There don't seem to be many worthwhile ones...
@Neolit I nearly got Mad Max but was really put off by Shadow of Mordor (another WB open world game).. Still reckon I should give it a go?
Pacman 256 and readying for the Rocket League tournament of Tuesday.
@Wazeddie22 If your a big fan of cheesy 80's action sci-fi flicks then yeah Blood Dragon is that good. I love the setting and just the effects they do through out the game.
Well this weekend I'm going to be playing odin sphere on my vita, overwatch and shantae and the pirates curse on ps4. I might try and play some tokyo mirage sessions if I have the chance but I'm going to try and enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.
PS4 - Resident Evil 5, God Eater: Ressurection
Vita - Adventures of Mana
Dying Light/The Following enhanced edition. Head shots are now easy with my recently purchased Marksman rifle. The double barrel shotgun is still my overall favorite firearm. Going quiet and or dealing with a horde i find the burning throwing stars the best weapon.
@Gamer83 How is Adventure of Mana?
@Neolit
I checked the trailer on PS Store but it had like 1% gameplay so nice to hear its similar to Mordor. My bro likes Mad Max so I may end up getting it to play while he watches like we did with Mordor. Thanks.
Earth Defense Force 4.1 for me.
So glad I picked up this game! Definitely an overlooked gem on PS4.
I'm trying to be NG on DS3 on the X1, on to the final boss so it'll be soon. Also giving Doom a bit more time and hopefully starting The Evil Within which I picked up in the sale last week.
Finished Ratchet and Clank and then jumped stright into the challenge mode really really loved it
@Tasuki Cheesy 80s action sci fi flicks?I'm in! Cheers,I'll be having a look at that very soon then!
Blop3 New Zombies map, Paragon & Smite, which are both excellent MOBA'S.
I'm away in Sidmouth, Devon spending time with my brother and his kids . When I have time I'm playing golden abyss and adventures of mana on the old vita. Can't wait to try out doom my brother brought me it in the sale for my birthday.
This week will be the last leg of Pay Day 2, I'm at IV-95 and want to get to 30+ which wont be too bad. And of course play some games on my 3DS, man the back log is huge on that bad boy.
I'll be continuing Overwatch but my focus will be on handheld this week with the ratchet and clank collection on Vita, and a ton of pokemon go! What a great game. I also got Kirby planet robobot but I'm not really feeling it.
@sinalefa
Thanks bro! at least and the most important thing they all are fine, especially their 2 dogs they were in the house when that miserable people break in.
that game worth the asking money?
it looks like a 2.5d megaman to me haha.
Oh the squid sisters amiibo are amazing as a fan of splatoon they just fantastic, the should put more content like a 2 new arcade mini games or new outfits but the songs are just amazing.
Happy Weekend.
Overwatch on ps4 and Ocarina of Time 3d on my 3ds.
@ApostateMage I got the platinum for resi, the under 3 hours was too close.I managed to do it in 2 hours 59 mins and 32 seconds. I was jumping for joy around the house 😁
Witcher 3 blood and wine. Still amazing game.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel on ps vita. Onto the last chapter. In my top 5 ps vita games. Which is saying alot because i have played many great games on this system.
Off course pokemon go. 49 so far
Completing the ps3 Doodle games and Sly 4 as well as some more pokemon go
Ratchet & Clank, Dragon Warrior 2 (Dragon Quest 2) and Ni No Kuni
reading the type of games I'm playing, I realise I'm a OG PlayStation gamer, and not the ex Xbox players that continue to play COD
@ROBALEXXX
Nice to hear no one was hurt.
Regarding No 9, the game was hit on reviews for being mediocre so I wouldnt pay the asking price (I backed it) but I like it so far. Could be so much better, yes, but I dont think its a bad game.
Enjoy your weekend too. Gonna miss your messages on PS4.
