March madness
How is it March already? Feels like only yesterday we were sitting around the dinner table scranning turkey and pulling crackers, but we’re right in the thick of the end of fiscal year rush now. There are big games on the way, including Devil May Cry 5 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. But while we wait impatiently for that prolific...

All together now
It’s a bright and cheerful weekend here in the UK, which means you may want to close the curtains and play some goddamn games. There’s lots to be getting on with this right now: Resident Evil 2 is still relatively new, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is only a month old, and Metro: Exodus released recently. Oh yeah, and there’s a...

Pick 'n' mix
It’s been a busy few weeks on the PlayStation 4, meaning we’d be surprised if you’ve got nothing to play this weekend. In addition to the latest batch of PS Plus games, we’ve also seen the release calendar stuffed to the figurative brim with big new titles, like Resident Evil 2 and Kingdom Hearts III. Sammy Barker, Editor: I...

Keyblade kings and queens
Kingdom Hearts III is actually out, which must be mind-blowing for fans of the franchise. If you’ve been waiting patiently for this release, then we hope that you’ll be spending your weekend tucked up in a Toy Story blanket, humming Let It Go. For everyone else, just try to avoid the copious clips from the game being...

This is the ANTHEM throw all your hands up
And just like that, there are dozens of video games vying for your attention. Resident Evil 2 is out now, while Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has been flying around for a few days. And right around the corner? Kingdom Hearts III. In fact, retailers are breaking the street date all over the world – which is...

Skies unkown
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is here and Resident Evil 2 is right around the corner, so 2019 has started in earnest now. That means that it’s time for your weekly WAYP to get a little livelier, as those backlogs get pushed to the background once more. Here’s what we’re playing. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ve got two of my most...

Vanille ice cream
We’re all waiting for Resident Evil 2, aren’t we? January is looking like a great month for new releases, but it’s yet to really get going properly. As such, we suspect you may be tucking into your backlog for the time being – or perhaps trying some demos and betas to keep you occupied. Here’s your regularly scheduled...

Sluggin' it
January has rolled around and we’re in a bit of a dry patch, but you’ve still got all those Christmas games to complete, haven’t you? Here’s everything we’re playing this weekend. Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: For the first weekend of 2019, I plan on lazing around with a classic Japanese RPG. Sadly I can't tell you what it...

Once more in 2018
All that build up and anticipation, and Christmas is done and dusted already. Of course, there’s a chance that the bearded gift bearer may have left you some new games to play, and that’s why we’re here once again with your regularly scheduled WAYP – the last of the year, in fact. Sammy Barker, Editor: For the first time...

Happy holidays
Merry Christmas, everyone! Have you got all your shopping yet? This author, er, hasn’t so… Yeah, this week’s WAYP is being put together in haste shall we say? That’s okay, though, because it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Let’s get on with it. Allen Reynolds, Reviewer: This week I’ve found myself plowing...

Craig Charles would be proud
There are ten days until Christmas – wait, what?! Wow, this has really crept up on us and we haven’t even bought all of our presents yet. Never mind, there’s still a week to go, right? Right. We’ll be spending this weekend in front of a warm hearth playing some video games – who’s joining us? Sammy Barker,...

Winner, winner
The Game Awards 2018 have concluded, which means that you're probably pondering whether you should work your way through some of the winners, right? Whatever your gaming plans this weekend, we'd love to hear about them in the comments section. You know the drill by now, right? Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm going to give PlayerUnknown's...

PS4 and chill
It’s officially December, can you believe that? Just where has this year gone? To be fair, it’s been a busy one, crammed to the figurative brim with big releases – from God of War right the way through to Red Dead Redemption 2. But now it’s time to clear your backlog because it’s time to start thinking about your Game of the...

Thanksgiving weekend edition
Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! If you’re in the USA, then we hope you’re suitably stocked on turkey and safely navigated the Days Gone-esque hordes on Black Friday. For the rest of our readers, it’s the weekend, so time to chill and play games. Here’s your weekly WAYP. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'll be...

76 fever
There’s tons to tuck into this weekend, as the PlayStation 4 enjoys arguably its last large trickle of new releases before Christmas. Sure, there’s still Just Cause 4, Battlefield V, and Darksiders III to come – but they can’t compete with the triple-whammy of Hitman 2, Fallout 76, and Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. Sammy Barker,...

Best West
There’s been a small break in the release schedule since Red Dead Redemption 2 released, allowing us all to conquer the Wild West as competent cowboy Arthur Morgan. And while Spyro: Reignited Trilogy and Fallout 76 linger tantalisingly on the horizon, you’ve still got a little more time to embed yourself in Saint Denis and its...

A wee drum
The cold clutches of winter have arrived, but there’s still a packed PlayStation 4 release schedule to keep you warm during these dark nights. Red Dead Redemption 2 is barely a week old, and the likes of Fallout 76 and Hitman 2 are lingering tantalisingly on the horizon. Sammy Barker, Editor: I love Red Dead Redemption 2 so much that...

Is it red?
As if we need to even ask the question this week, eh? Spoilers: practically everyone’s playing Red Dead Redemption 2 this week. Let’s see if the comments paint a similar picture, shall we? Sammy Barker, Editor: Yeah, Red Dead Redemption 2 for me. The controls are about as comfortable as rubbing your hands against a cheese grater,...

All together now
The nights are drawing longer and the gaming news is drying up as new releases ship, but no one could ever complain that there’s nothing to play. The release calendar is absolutely stacked right now, so here’s what we’re playing this weekend. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m so close to 100 per cent Trophy completion in Hitman...

Black hot
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is out and Red Dead Redemption 2 is calling, so there’s lots for us to gab about in this week’s WAYP. All that’s left is for us to pose that age old question: what are you playing this weekend? Sammy Barker, Editor: I've got until Red Dead Redemption 2 releases to finish off Hitman, because I want to be...

An odyssey
Marvel’s Spider-Man! Assassin’s Creed Odyssey! Crumbs, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is out next week! And then there’s Red Dead Redemption 2 lingering tantalisingly on the horizon. Your weekly WAYP is heating up, so enough of the awkward pre-ambles – let’s get stuck in. Sammy Barker, Editor: I finished the story in Marvel's...

The stage of history
The nights are drawing in and the weather is getting colder, but the release calendar sure as hell is heating up. There are a metric ton of titles on the horizon, and we’re battling to get on top of them all. The question is: how are you keeping up? Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: You better believe I'm still polishing off...

Lightning strikes. Maybe once, maybe twice
The weekend has arrived in earnest once again, which means that it’s time to play some good old fashioned video games. As we’re on location at EGX 2018 this week, this is shorter than you’re regularly scheduled WAYP – but we weren’t going to skip it, were we? Alex Stinton, Reviewer: This...

In a spider's shadow
Guess who’s back – back again? Sammy’s back – tell a friend! That’s right, your normal WAYP service resumes this week after Senior Staff Writer Stephen Tailby took the reins last week. It means that the article’s being published late, and arrangements only started being made a couple of hours before we’re...

Go get 'em, Tiger
Look out -- here comes Marvel's Spider-Man. The long-awaited super hero blockbuster from Insomniac Games is finally here, and we imagine a lot of people will be web slinging through NYC and taking down petty thugs this weekend. Thwip! Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: The Destiny 2: Forsaken grind is on, but I'm going to be hammering...

Web head
There’s just seven days until Marvel’s Spider-Man deploys, so what will you be playing to keep yourself occupied in the meantime? That’s the question we’re presenting in your regularly scheduled WAYP, so let’s get straight into it. Allen Reynolds, Reviewer: This week I’ve found myself doting over Naruto to Boruto Shinobi...

Maria, you've gotta see her
This is it, folks – this is pretty much the last week before the release schedule goes absolutely mental for the holidays. Assuming you’re not already playing something new, then this may be your last opportunity to clear up your backlog. Good luck. Sammy Barker, Editor: I polished off the first Shenmue last night,...

"Maybe I should play some?"
After months of scorching weather, the grey clouds have descended on the UK, and it’s all feeling rather muggy outdoors. There’s never been a better time to stay in with a nice iced tea and a couple of video games, then, and fortunately the release schedule is reaching that point where there’s about a billion new...

Weekend warriors
After a break hiatus following the World Cup, the Premier League has already returned, meaning our weekends will be filled with bickering about the results from now on. NFL has also entered pre-season, meaning that there’s no shortage of sport to look forward to. Of course if you’re not a fan of grown men getting sweaty over...

Wading in
Guess who forgot to organise WAYP this week? It’s a rarity, so hopefully your humble host can be forgiven. Fortunately a handful of staffers responded to the last minute request for paragraphs, so we have something to publish. This article is all about you, ultimately, anyway. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m not sure how Tiburon got EA...

Hot and bothered
Who’s melting? After a hellish heatwave, storms have supposedly rolled into the UK, bringing the temperatures down. Not here at Push Square Towers, however, where there are currently SEGA skies overhead and burning sunshine. Will it ever rain again? We’ll keep you updated. Sammy Barker, Editor: Good question, I don't actually...

Summer gamin'
Well, the World Cup is over and there’s no Wimbledon, so looks like it’s back to the good ol’ games we go this weekend. The release schedule is looking scarily slight at the time of typing, but that makes this period all the more important for backlog clearance. What are you playing? That’s the question. Sammy Barker, Editor:...

It's not coming home
Well, England didn’t win the World Cup – although it must be a nerve-racking weekend for our resident Croatian reader. This author’s been backing France since before the tournament started [Stealth brag – Ed] so it’s hard to see anyone other than Hugo Lloris lifting the trophy tomorrow, but stranger things have...

It’s coming home, it’s coming home, it’s coming, football’s coming home! It’s coming home, it’s coming home, it’s coming, football’s coming home!

Hot as hell
Is it hot enough for you? With the World Cup in full swing, it’s a good opportunity to melt in front of some football this weekend – but maybe not all of you are so keen on the drama in Russia. Either way, you’re going to want to avoid that burning beacon in the sky, so let us know what you’re playing in the comments section...

The 'Rather Be Watching the World Cup' Edition
There’s a full programme of World Cup football to look forward to this weekend, so game time’s likely to be on the short side – unless you’re desperately attempting to avoid watching grown men roll around on the ground. In that case, you may be eager to do a spot of gaming instead – here’s...

E3 hangover club
E3 2018 has almost killed us, so here’s a not-so brief WAYP to remind you that it’s the weekend. You didn’t think we were going to miss it, did you? Never. Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: I'll be continuing Fallout 4 in between watching various World Cup matches. Let's hope that the weekend's footie is a little more exciting!...

You are already dead
E3 2018 is all but here, but you won’t find us cancelling WAYP – no, sir! This is a short edition for obvious reasons, though. Let’s get straight into it, shall we? Sammy Barker, Editor: Panic. And I don't mean Trash Panic, either. Stephen Tailby, Senior Staff Writer: To counteract the cavalcade of disappointment...

YNWA
There's no Champions League final this weekend, which will no doubt please Loris Karius. There is football in the form of international friendlies, but no one cares about those. With the NBA finals not scheduled to continue until Monday and nothing else going on, we guess we're going to have to play some actual video games until the World Cup...

Pick a side
It’s the moment of truth for football fans today: are we going to have to endure a decade of the scousers banging on about how they won the Champions League again? All eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo and crew to save us from the misery; Real Madrid’s won three of the last four tournaments, so they go in as favourites. Sammy...

A big weekend
It’s a big weekend in ye olde England, with the Royal Wedding and FA Cup Final dominating the news cycle and public conversation. In fact, we suspect the Brits among you are so bored of these topics that you’re looking for an out, and video games should provide the perfect escape. As for the rest of the world, well, you’re...

All your vault
It feels like we’re in that calm period before the E3 2018 craziness begins in earnest. There’s going to be big game reveals over the next month or so, with Battlefield and Call of Duty all part of the schedule – and rumours are already starting to swirl about other unannounced projects. It means we’re about to get really...

Another week, another instalment of WAYP. For those of you who are new to the site, this is where the Push Square team come together to share everything they’re planning to play over the next couple of days – and we encourage you to do the same in the comments section.

The god father
There’s only one game on Push Square’s lips this week, and it’s the outstanding God of War. With the title finally available worldwide, virtually all of us are beginning our adventures in Midgard this weekend. We may as well name this issue ‘God of War Edition’.

The song of life
The sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah. Makes us want to… Shut the curtains and play video games? That is how the ol’ Bob Marley song goes, right? Anyway, you know what time it is – it’s WAYP time. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m still playing God of War, a game which still holds many secrets for me to discover...

WAYP to go
Have there really been 214 issues of WAYP? That’s almost four years’ worth of this recurring feature now – an impressive run, for sure! The premise has remained the same since the very beginning: we tell you what we’re playing; you tell us what you’re playing. Let’s dance! Sammy Barker, Editor: I guess the angry skinhead is...

Happy Easter
Whether you celebrate it or not, we hope that you have lots of chocolate in store for this long Easter weekend. Here at Push Square Towers, we’ll be scoffing liberal amounts of Hot Cross Buns and sipping sweet tea. But what will we be playing? Here’s your weekly WAYP.

Revenant kingdom
The boring international break means no Premier League football this weekend, freeing up a few extra hours for a video game or three. As has become Push Square tradition, we’ve rounded up our ragtag gang of reviewers, and asked them what they’re playing this weekend. Sammy Barker, Editor: There’s no Spring Training for me,...
