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

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...

Bewitching
The sun is shining, it’s a Bank Holiday weekend, and there are no shortage of games to be getting on with – what’s not to like? Your regularly scheduled WAYP is back for another week, so here’s everything we’re playing this weekend. Let us know what you’re up to in the comments section. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ve got a...

God of more?
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. Let’s get into it. Glen Fox, Guides Editor: I had a...

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’. Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: Inevitably, I will be playing...

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...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 214
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. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m having a blast with MLB The Show...

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,...

Welcome to the jungle
The snow is back here in the UK, which gives us the perfect opportunity to snuggle up with some games. With the release calendar ramping up and backlogs longer than our legs, we’ve got lots to be getting on with. The age old question, though, is what will you be playing? Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m playing Burnout Paradise...

Quinntessential
It’s a big day at Push Square Towers as Manchester United take on Liverpool in the Premier League, dividing the office firmer than the Berlin Wall. With tensions running high, this edition of WAYP has actually been prepared on the eve of the match, just in case your humble host doesn’t slip into a depressed coma in the aftermath...

Snow day
Abhorrent weather conditions here in the UK mean that weather is the top talking point on these shores right now, and you’re damn well sure we’re going to use it to pen the problematic first paragraph of this week's WAYP. The conditions have been catastrophic for some, but while we wish everyone a safe and warm weekend, there’s no...

Once more with feeling
We’re days away from leaving February and entering the month of March, which means that the release schedule is about to get bloated big time. Publishers typically try to release any remaining wares they have before the end of the fiscal year, and next month is looking like a particularly busy period for both remasters and...

Short but sweet
The days are getting longer again, which means you may be in need of your curtains to block the light out. The video game release schedule has certainly slowed down since Monster Hunter: World launched, so what’s keeping you busy at the moment? You know the drill. Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: It's back to the wilderness this...

Flu rider
A bout of flu has ravaged Push Square Towers this week, and this author’s taking every opportunity to seek sympathy for his symptoms. It means the weekend couldn’t come soon enough, as we all snuggle down with hot water bottles and video games. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m kicking people in the face in EA Sports UFC 3 this...

Brady bunch
It’s the Super Bowl this weekend, and for anyone who doesn’t support the Patriots or the Eagles, that old Alien vs Predator slogan comes to mind: “Whoever wins, we lose.” But while the dreams of a Blake Bortles versus Case Keenum face-off must be left in the past, at least there’s a Justin Timberlake half-time show to look...

The hunt is on
It was a frighteningly big week on the PlayStation 4 this time, with Monster Hunter: World, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and Celeste all vying for your attention. It should make for an action-packed WAYP, so without further ado, let’s get into it. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm not playing Monster Hunter: World. Yet. Now will everyone stop...

Frisbee the one
With the end of January rapidly approaching, it finally feels like the year is underway. Here at Push Square, we’ve oiled up our review machine and set it to work, as several big new releases look poised to invade the PlayStation 4. In fact, this may be your last opportunity to work through your backlog. The question is: what are...

Just Saiyan
The weekend has arrived, which means a full slate of Premier League football and some pretty great NFL playoff games. Of course, it also means extra gaming time, and with a monstrous array of new releases around the corner, this may be the best opportunity for you to catch up on your backlog. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m never going to...

Back 2Business
It’s the start of a new year and, we don’t know about you, but everything feels weird. It’s like, everything is different and yet still the same. The good news is that the weekend has arrived to rip you free from your existential crisis, so here are the games that we’re planning to play over the next couple of days. Sammy...

Milestone edition
Wow! We’ve actually reached Issue 200 of WAYP, and we’ve still managed to maintain a flawless weekly record. That’s some feat because it means this feature has been running for roughly four years – in fact, it’s longer because the series started life as a bi-weekly article helmed by our very own Katy Ellis. She’s...

Glad tidings
The 200th edition of WAYP has been postponed for a week while we return for our sixth annual Christmas special. The format’s exactly the same, of course, we’ve just added some tinsel to the page. In fact, we haven’t even bothered doing that – you’ll have to use your imagination. Nevertheless, here’s what we’re playing this...

Winter wonderland
It’s just over a week until Christmas and the weather is absolutely abysmal here in the UK – the most wonderful time of the year they say! At least there’s video games to keep us all occupied. You know the drill by now, right? Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ve only gone and started Persona 5, haven’t I? Despite plugging four...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 198
Monster wonder
WAYP is a little late as we catch up on some of the headlines from PSX 2017, but we’re continuing our record of never missing a week with a bumper edition of our recurring Talking Point today. There’s no time for long introductions as there’s much work to do, but you all know the drill by now. Sammy Barker, Editor: It’s a...

Winter wonders
It’s just a few days until The Game Awards and PlayStation Experience get underway, which means the light of the Christmas holidays aren’t far behind. Despite all of the big releases already being out, this is a surprisingly busy part of the year, as Game of the Year awards are determined and festive content is hammered out...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 196
The aftermath
Minus a few stragglers, all of the big game releases are out, and the busy November shopping window is over. It means that we can all take a bit of a breather for a week or two, before The Game Awards and PlayStation Experience get underway, anyway. The question is: what will be occupying you during your new-found time? Sammy Barker,...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 195
Take your pick
That’s it, then: all of the holiday blockbusters are out and Thanksgiving awaits. Of course, it’s not the end of the PlayStation 4’s year by any stretch of the imagination – there are still dozens of titles to be released before 2018 arrives – but it does mean you can probably breathe a little bit and catch up on all of the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 194
In the thick of it
Well, you can’t say there’s nothing to play this weekend, can you? The release calendar has been absolutely stuffed to the gills with new releases this past month – many of which we’re still aimlessly wrestling PR to get review code for. Sigh. Still, the WAYP party rolls on regardless. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m not...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 193
Plenty to pick from
Assassin’s Creed is out! Call of Duty is out! Star Wars is almost here! Amazingly, we’re almost at the end of the holiday game-apocalypse, which is… Good news! It means that you should have lots to play, though, so what’s keeping you occupied this weekend? You know the dance by now. Sammy Barker, Editor: I've headed to...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 192
The new Creed
And just like that there are too many games to play. The market is currently flooded with new releases, and there are plenty more to come over the next three or four weeks. The question is: what’s keeping you busy this weekend? You know the drill by now. Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor: I'll be spending my weekend in sunny old...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 191
In the thick of it
We’re in the thick of it now. There’s practically a major new game release every week through until the holidays, so you better be prepared for the onslaught – and the insane expenditure, of course. Much of our team is on assignment at the moment, and if they’re not, you can guarantee they're doing thumb exercises ahead of...

War of the reds
The editors of this very site are at war this weekend, and no, it's not because Sammy still hasn't played Persona 5. It's Liverpool vs. Manchester United, which means that bragging rights will be on the line for months to come. If you're reading this before the match, offer prayer. If you're reading afterwards, hope that the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 189
On the agenda
Well, this is it, then: the start of silly season. You better hope your backlog has been appropriately cleared, because there are a lot of games coming out over the next eight weeks, and regardless of which ones you choose, you’re going to need a lot of free time to play them all. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ll be patiently waiting...

Hunters to punters
It definitely feels like we’re in the calm before the storm right now, doesn’t it? The release schedule is about to get really hectic, with virtually one new heavy hitter arriving every week through October and early November. This is last chance saloon until Christmas for your backlogs, then. Give ‘em hell! Sammy Barker,...

Out 'n' about
It’s been a busy end to the week here at Push Square Towers, with the Tokyo Game Show and EGX running concurrently this weekend. That said, WAYP has been a regularly fixture on this site for near four years now, and we’ve still never missed an issue. We’re not going to let a couple of conventions stop us. Sammy Barker, Editor:...

Winter blues
Anyone else feel like winter’s embrace has arrived all of a sudden? It’s been absolutely freezing here in the UK this week, and a torrential downpour is battering Push Square Towers as we type this. There’s never been a better time to stay indoors, boot up the PlayStation 4, and play some games, then. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m...

This must be Destiny
You're already sick of hearing about it and we're already sick of writing about it, but we can't bloody well tell our team of scribes to not play Destiny 2 this weekend. It's time for a bumper edition of What Are You Playing! Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor I've got a busy weekend planned, but when I'm not socialising,...

September sunshine
It’s a new weekend, which means it’s time for an all-new edition of WAYP. For those of you who are new to the site, this is the weekly article where we quiz you on what you’re playing. Are you diving into your backlog, perhaps? Or returning to an old favourite? First up, here’s some of our team members: Sammy Barker,...
