WAYP, WAYP, WAYP. What more is there to say? Wimbledon is on and plodding along; there have been a few decent meltdowns so far – that guy tossing money at the umpire was great – but the second week is where things should heat up. Hopefully not literally, of course, because it’s already too hot. Video games. Talk about them.

I'll be jumping in an out of The Elder Scrolls Online this weekend. I stopped playing for quite a while due to reviews and other non-MMO games that needed to be finished off, but the Morrowind expansion has dragged me back to Tamriel. Good clean fun if you're feeling adventurous.

After absolutely ploughing through the Crash collection, and remembering how much I loved those games growing up, it's awoken a nostalgia bug in me, and I think starting now and carrying on for a while I'm going to break out my PS3 and play the God of War and Jak & Daxter collections, which I've been neglecting since before the PS4 had even released. Plus I just bought Elite: Dangerous. Dear me, where am I going to get the time?

I’m travelling this weekend which of course means that it’s the perfect time for my PlayStation Vita. I still have one character route left to complete on Code: Realize and once I’m done with that I’ll carry on with MeiQ. I’ve almost finished my hard playthrough, then I plan to complete the game on Devil and Hell difficulty.

I've got some people round this weekend, so That's You, Overcooked, and Surgeon Simulator are on the cards. Other than that, a bit of Battlefield 4 wouldn't go amiss, neither would some WWE 2K17.

This weekend I'll be having a crack at the Destiny raids in an attempt to complete them all one last time before jumping ship into Destiny 2. There's going to be plenty of good laughs and also plenty of arguments but hopefully the fire team won't fall apart.

So kind of a retro game weekend for me. After acquiring a copy of Castlevania Bloodlines on Genesis I will be playing that, along with some Disney Afternoon Collection on PS4. Also I will be still attempting to get good at Battlefield 1.
What are you playing this weekend? Join in the fun in the comments section below, and let us know. Go on, you know you want to.

This week. The wolf among us. And wipeout omega. With a lil bf1
Crash 3 atm tempted to sack it off as I forgot how much I hated the motorbike levels
This weekend, I have been mostly eating Elite Dangerous.
Had the sister in law and her partner over last night and played That's You!, can't remember the last time we had that much fun and 3 non gamers spent all night playing games 😃.
Also got the Switch back as I need something to play on the move as I chase a 7 month old around. Started Zelda again and this time I'm just enjoying the magnificent world they have built for that and also going for a bit if Mario Kart 8. On PlayStation I'll be plugging away at Crash Bandicoot trying to finish the first before moving to the others and if I have time a bit of Mortal Kombat XL
Plenty of dungeon crawling for me with Final Fantasy 12 and Diablo local co-op. Maybe a little Elite too if I can put these other games down.
I finally got round to playing my most hyped game of 2016, Zero Time Dilemma, so that'll occupy most of my gaming time this weekend. There might be a little bit of time for some Horizon Zero Dawn, Smash Bros Wii U or Pokemon Sun as well.
After so many years I am back to Ivalice! Due to back luck mostly I never managed to finish FF 12, but now it is time! So happy for it!
Well i have a huge backlog now... thank you for ao many sales Sony 😑 but i already picked each games for each console 😆 ps4 horizon zero dawn and Crash triology of course! (Damn you crash 1! If i beat you when i was a kid you won't win me at 27! I swear!) And on the vita world of final fantasy gotta get them all! And valkyria 2 😆 of course i won't finish any of them 😂
I'm gutted, I had to cancel my pre order of FFXII because I'm super skint. Luckily I have Elite Dangerous to play until I take flight in the Strahl again.
Just started Crash 3 and still absolutely loving it. Also started reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I had seen the film (Blade Runner) but I have to say I am enjoying the book more atm. So, any suggestions on games that match the aesthetic and feel of Blade Runner would be greatly appreciated.
@ApostateMage I feel your pain, having no money sucks.
Think I've got at least a couple more weeks on playing horizon for now, I'm not very good at multiple games I like to play and complete a game then move on never to return except for a few multi player games which I binge between campaigns
@kyleforrester87 ff12? I thought it releases on the 11th? I pre-ordered it...
This weekend I'm going to try and beat final boss in the surge, haven't tried it yet. And probably play Mad Max(for some reason I love that game). But what I really would like to do is finally start playing Witcher 3, for some reason I just can't ever seem to get myself to start it.
Just wondering, I got the $15 credit for PlayStation store and was looking at the sale going on. Is watchdogs very good? I'm a fan of open world but not so much of gta.
@ellsworth004 there is a shop near me that tends to release games early. I will say I'm having a lot more fun with it this time round than I recall having with it on my PS2
@LobsterJohnson you wanna cool game about androids, Nier is the way to go
@kyleforrester87 I never beat it back then, but I remember having something like 102 hours played. I loved that game. How is the job system?
@kyleforrester87 That's a good shout, I really enjoyed the demo too. Cheers dude 👍🏻
@LobsterJohnson definitely nier, one of the most interesting games I've ever played. Get ur moneys worth with that one.
I'm playing Nier Automata, I think I'm at the end of the first playthrough and I'm absolutely loving it, and Tales from the Borderlands, where I'm just about to start episode 4
Besides more Elite Dangerous I haven't decided. Having said that, I did start Yooka Laylee a couple days ago. Haven't played much but I did enjoy the hour or 2 I put into it, so I may continue with that inbetween my ED addiction.
@BranJ0 if u loved first playthrough, then your in for a treat!
@ellsworth004 Nier is £27.95 with Game Collection, sooooo tempted but funds are a little limited atm. Should probably look to trade in Doom & Mafia 3 first.
@ellsworth004 So far so good, I'm only about 5-6 hours in so still getting my head around it!
@LobsterJohnson have u checked out the demo?
@ellsworth004 Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Definitely my next purchase, just gotta trade a couple of games first. Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
Medievil on PS1. Playing it for the first time
While I wait for Final Fantasy XII I'm moaning about the humidity and continuing with Crash Bandicoot and Kingdom Hearts 2. Getting the coloured gems in Crash is annoyingly addictive even though I keep falling! I was hoping to finish Kingdom Hearts before FFXII is here but unless I stay up all night and forgo such necessities as cooking and eating I doubt I will manage it.
@LobsterJohnson
If you like Blade Runner keep.an eye in Detroit, which should release next year.
I am still playing KH 358/2 Days, also wrapping up Uncharted 2's platinum and I will be playing Arms while I wait for Splatoon 2.
Was planning to Platinum Persona 5, but wanted to check out FF14 Stormblood just a bit before I jump back into that with P5 finished.....well, let's just say that was a mistake.
@KratosMD Is Rachet and Clank 3 with Courtney Gears i loved that story or am i mistaken.
@Shepherd_Tallon Fun game the trophies are a real chore though. 😀 😁 😂 🤣
@Xaritah I know the problem i have a strict rule finish a game then start a new one.
Taking on the Milky Way In Elite Dangerous Horizons.
Bit of Injustice 2 if I get some time probably with some Fifa and Battlefield 1. If I get a few hours tomorrow DCUO. Really liking Injustice even though I'm terrible at fighters! Liking the fact you can get different gear and customize your fighters, however not really liking the leveling system meaning I'm quite underpowered for some of the multiverse stuff with the decent gear and online matches.
PS4 - Crash Bandicoot Trilogy
Switch - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Just picked up Golf Club 2 cause I'm a sucker for video game golf. Having a great time with it so far, although it is hard, which is in keeping with actual golf. No 15 under par in this game which is something I really like about it.
I'm likely gonna be doing time trials on Crash this weekend. Crash 1 with relics has been a pain so far.
All about Bloodborne for me again. I am utterly addicted and am going for Rom this weekend. Other than that, Botw and Hello Kitty with my daughter on 3DS.
Nothing for me this week. =/
Final exams are scheduled to the next couple of weeks. I miss PS4, I think I can't play it for 2-3 weeks already, thanks to the end of the semester...
I'm working 18 hours per day, 7 days a week in a summer camp with a hundred kids yelling and running all around me. It's harder than any survival horror I've ever played while my PS4 is collecting dust at home...
Hopefully I'l be playing a bit of Ratchet & Clank and Tales from The Borderlands by tomorrow. But right now, swamped with work, which is good because I'll have more money for more games
I never played Knack ( I know crazy) so I'm going to beat it before 2 comes out & Crash .
I'm mostly playing nex machina and little nightmare, and I still want to max my level in nier automata for the dlc.
After watching Castlevania on Netflix, I've got the itch to play my favorite series again. I just don't know which game to start with, probably 3 (which the Netflix series is based on). I'm also tempted to get Elite Dangerous, but Horizon zero Dawn needs to be completed first.
Ancient amulator
Dick wilde
Moonshot galaxy
PS Vita - Adventures of Mana
PS4 - Persona 5
Obsessed over Rogue Legacy the last two days and somehow beat it (first playthrough). Now back to the regular programming of Overwatch, AC Syndicate, and wishing I could scrounge up the funds to get crash bandicoot.
More Crash Trilogy for me.
I got the weekend off. So for PS4 it's nothing but fighting games. Tekken 7, Injustice 2, and King of Fighters 14. For the Switch it's gonna be Mario Kart 8, Master Blazter Zero, and Puyo Puyo Tetris,
PS4: Yakuza 0, Crash
PSVita: God Eater 2
Just finished Yakuza 0! What a game! Such a great story! Add it to the GOTY tracker. KiryuXMajjima4LYF. Word up son.
Might start up AC Syndicate, but will likely spend the rest of the weekend with Crash.
On vita I started GE2. It's pretty good. My only question: Why is everyone British in this game?!
PS4: Final Fantasy X HD
PS3: Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
PSVita: Final Fantasy VII
XB1: Witcher 3
Switch - Mario kart.
To buy list: Splatoon 2 and persona 5
For me this weekend is grinding away on the Far Cry Primal Platinum, finishing up the main story and doing some clean up. Now if I could only find some rare deer. Probably a little Injustice 2 only need the stupid cat call trophy and grinding more characters to 20. Anyone who's looking for a guild for Injustice the Pushsquare guild is always accepting 1CX1E!
@kyleforrester87 seen you on that, section were fran and balthier grab Vaan on the air cycle thingy.
I've been at the races and won nothing. Unlikely to play anything this weekend
@Hengist Any good? My mate, who has it on XBox, raves about it.
Destiny as usual
Back into ESO at the moment. Haven't purchased Morrowind yet, so much to do in the game itself.
@stueyd67
It's really good mate and just as good, if not better, than the first time that I played it, i.e. The graphics, for one example, are much improved (as shown in the picture comparisons below)... 😊
The first time that I played Elite:
Elite now:
P.S. There's an interesting benchmark of the various console versions, with gameplay footage, here...

@Flaming_Kaiser yes, it's the same as me, otherwise i will forget parts of the stort of them, and the best part for a gamer girl is the story 😂
@andreoni79 wellcome to a preview of my reality, but 40 hours a week 😢😢
My wife and I are playing through Until Dawn. Super fun team game. When she isn't there I'm playing Crash.
Still Into the novelty of PSVR so Star Trek, drive club and Eagle Flight was th a little life is strange
Can't lie DCVR has terrible graphics but game is good and shows VR is best way to play driving games other two are great STBC is best social game and as Trekkie a compete wish fulfilment EF and s pretty and fun. While VR will never replace TV gaming definitely a fun addition.
Grinding some relics in Crash 1. Nostalgia got the best of me and had to buy the Trilogy. I knew it would drive me mad, but stupidity sometimes wins 😂. Anyway, 5 gold relics to go (completed last island first) and plat is mine.
Once Crash 1 is done I'll HAVE to start my beloved FF12. Copy arrived today by mail much to my surprise. It makes grinding for relics even harder. But I'll have to cope for a little bit longer ^^
@Rogueleader76 I have been in a Castlevania mood the past week and the series didn't help which is why I have been playing Castlevania Bloodlines on the Genesis.
Evil within limbo and started on game of thrones courtesy of ps plus July
Dirt 4, Ratchet and Clank, and Until Dawn. And with no Wimbledon to watch today, Anna Kournikova's Smash Court Tennis might get an airing, if it still works.
Dengeki Bunko fighthing climax.
Soma i played first 2 hours of game yester day and it sounds like a good game
And maybe Prey
@Hengist See what you mean on comparison! Thanks for that.
I've been off gaming for a few months so probably not much. If I do I have Titanfall 2, Mad Max and Skulls of the Shogun to all finish...
Legend of cold steel 2 on the ps vita. Should keep me going for another month or two.
Too much gaming last weekend, plus Fourth of July/Birthday stuff... I gotta ignore stuff now, buckle down, and catch up on work
Stop taunting me, backlog! I'll get back to you later in the week!
@Tasuki did you like the Netflix series? It was too short for sure.
@Rogueleader76 I loved the series. Yeah it was sbort, but t was a pilot so that was to be expected.
Until Dawn and Game of Thrones. Loving them both. Great month for PS+. I also bought World of Final Fantasy a few weeks ago and got back into Kingdoms of Amalur on PC again.
@Tasuki that's true. I'm glad Netflix picked up another season.
@ellsworth004
Mad Max is one of my faaaaaaavorite guilty pleasures as well!! The game was so underrated!
