Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 174
Feet up
E3 2017 is a distant memory and the temperatures have dipped to a somewhat more agreeable level (at least here in the UK, anyway) so it’s time to settle down for some serious gaming. With the release schedule slowly starting to thin ahead of the summer months, we have the distinct feeling that backlogs are going to take centre stage over...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 173
Post-show play sesssions
E3 2017 is over, which means that we’re ready to actually play games again – as opposed to just talk about them. The summer months may be in full swing, but the PlayStation 4 gaming calendar ain’t looking any quieter. Here’s what we’re playing this weekened. Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor: After weeks of...
Talking Point Is PSX Now More Important to Sony Than E3?
Priorities may be shifting
Here’s a question worth pondering: is Sony’s own PlayStation Experience now more important to the platform holder than E3? Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said yesterday that the company held back PlayStation 4 exclusive announcements during its press conference this week, and that we’d learn more about...
Talking Point Did Sony PlayStation's E3 2017 Press Conference Crush the Competition?
Big guns
And that’s it: Sony’s big PlayStation E3 2017 press conference is over. What did you think? Haha, the show centred on gameplay from the likes of God of War, Spider-Man, and Days Gone – but also included a few surprises in the guise of Shadow of the Colossus. But did the platform holder deliver? Did it give you enough games to get...
Talking Point Did Ubisoft's E3 2017 Press Conference Bedazzle You?
Oooh?
That’s another press conference done, dusted, and put to bed – but what did you think of Ubisoft’s showcase this time? The briefing centred on Assassin’s Creed Origins, Far Cry 5, and The Crew 2, but we also got a glimpse of Beyond Good & Evil 2 and Skull & Bones. But what did you think of the keynote? Do you think Ubisoft...
Talking Point What Does Sony Have to Do in Order to 'Win' E3 2017?
Games, games, games?
As is now tradition, Sony will host the final big E3 publisher press conference tonight - or tomorrow morning, depending on your timezone. At the time of writing, we've seen a total of three shows: EA, Microsoft, and Bethesda. Ubisoft is up a few hours before the PlayStation maker takes to the stage, but we think the time is now...
Talking Point What Did You Think of Bethesda's E3 2017 Press Conference?
Short but sweet?
We've waited up into the not-so-early hours of morning in order to cover Bethesda's E3 2017 press conference, but was it worth the sleepless night? The publisher's third E3 show, it brought some big guns to the Los Angeles event courtesy of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and The Evil Within 2 - although both were leaked well...
Talking Point What Are Your Hopes and Fears for PS4 at E3 2017?
Nervous anticipation
Here we go, then: E3 2017 is so close we can taste it – and with it comes nervous anticipation. Obviously there’s lots to be excited for this year, but there are also a few things to worry about as well. We’ve brought some of our team together to talk about exactly that: what are our hopes and fears for Sony’s press...
Talking Point Did the EA Play 2017 Press Conference Impress You?
Star bore?
Electronic Arts has been the first publisher to raise the curtain on E3 2017 with its annual EA Play 2017 press conference, and during the show it provided deep dives into the likes of Star Wars Battlefront 2, FIFA 18, and a look at a new title from BioWare, named ANTHEM. But were you impressed with the publisher’s fare? Was it a good...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 172
The calm before the storm
E3 2017 begins in earnest this weekend with a handful of media briefings, but there’s plenty of time for gaming while you wait for all of the shows to get underway. The question is: what games will be part of your pre-presser warm-up? You know the drill by now. Graham Banas, Reviewer: With all sorts of E3 conferences to...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 171
Almost forgot to ask
Guess who forgot about WAYP this week? In your humble host’s defence, the Bank Holiday has messed up our perception of time – and, like, E3 2017 is approaching so… Anyhoo, we have an amazing team of scribes here who dropped everything at a moment’s notice to shoot their itinerary over. That or they just so happened to be...
May2017
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 170
Warm up
The sun’s been shining for two or three days here in the UK, which means after much yearning for summer, the British people have turned to an age old complaint: “It’s too hot!” And, frankly, it is – so we’ll be hunkering down in our man cave and playing some games. Here’s what’s on the agenda. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ve...
Talking Point What Free June 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Predictions, please
We’re nearing the end of another month, which means that attention must turn away from the current crop of PlayStation Plus goodies and towards June 2017’s lineup. We’re not entirely sure when the roster will be announced – most likely it’s going to be 31st May – but we’re fully expecting the freebies to be...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 168
Canary wharf
The Premier League comes to a conclusion this weekend, but the season’s far from over, with a series of big finals to follow over the coming week or so. It does mean that our weekends are about to become even free-er, though, with no footie on the telly to distract us from clearing our backlogs. No excuses anymore. Sammy Barker,...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 167
Dark side
We’re getting perilously close to E3 2017 now, but we’re trying not to think about that. Instead, it’s actually surprisingly busy here at Push Square Towers for May, with the release calendar showing no signs of slowing down really. Much of the team is on review duty, with several big games being worked on as we write. Sammy Barker,...
Talking Point Was Mass Effect: Andromeda Unfairly Torn Apart by the Internet?
Was BioWare's latest doomed from the start?
Earlier this week, reports surfaced that EA is putting Mass Effect on ice for the time being and downsizing the development team behind Mass Effect: Andromeda. The news perhaps comes as no real surprise; EA isn't exactly a publisher known for its mercy when it comes to studios that underperform or fail to...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 166
A little PREY
If you include all of the special editions, we’re well on our way to 200 issues of WAYP now, which is frankly incredible. In the inaugural issue published back in 2013, your humble host was playing Lumines: Electronic Symphony on the PlayStation Vita. Not a bad shout for this weekend, really. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm on a break...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 165
Catch up
Thus concludes another working week, which means that it's time to close the curtains, buckle up, and enjoy some video games. Of course, it's now customary to share your gaming itinerary with the rest of the Push Square community, so that's exactly what we want you to do in the comments section below. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm slowly...
Talking Point What Free May 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Are You After?
Gimme the goods
T'is that time of the month yet again where we ask you to ponder which PlayStation Plus freebies you want in May 2017. We're expecting the lineup to be revealed this coming Wednesday (26th April) ahead of a 2nd May roll out. Unfortunately the release schedule's currently looking quite barren on that day, so your guess is as good as...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 164
Post-Easter play sessions
We're entering the quiet build-up to E3 2017 now, where genuine news slows and teases increase. The number of big new titles also takes a tumble, although there's never any shortage of software on the PlayStation 4, is there? We suspect that the next half-dozen issues of WAYP are going to be more about backlogs, but with...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Easter Edition 5
Eggs-traordinary
Ah, the long Easter weekend: home to brighter weather, chocolate-based treats, and a couple of extra days gaming. Welcome to the fifth special Spring edition of What Are You Playing, which is actually no different to a regular week, we've just given it a different title. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm still slogging my way through Mass...
Talking Point Is It Time for Sony to Take PS4 Pro Seriously?
Mid-gen battlegrounds
Sony released the PlayStation 4 Pro last year, and it's a good iterative console. Designed to take existing PS4 games and push them to the next level, the system has generally achieved its aims by bumping resolutions, effects, and other features depending on the developer's decision. The manufacturer's goal was never to change...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 163
Spring time
We're into April now, which means that Easter is right around the corner and summer looms temptingly on the horizon. It also means that, while most of the big blockbusters have been pushed out ahead of the new fiscal year, there's a colourful array of smaller content for you to sink your teeth into. The question is: what are you playing?...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 162
Pity the fool
Did you like our April Fools' Day joke? We didn't do one! See, that was part of the joke because you were all reading our articles waiting to find something suspect, weren't you? But the joke's on you because there wasn't a joke. Get it? Hahahahahaha. (Yeah, we just didn't have any time to come up with any good ideas this year.) Sammy...
March2017
Talking Point Which Free April 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Drawn to death
We already know one of April 2017's free PlayStation Plus games: it's David Jaffe's notebook-based shooter Drawn to Death. But we're expecting Sony to announce the remainder of April's offering later this week, and that begs the question: what do you want? There are a smattering of new titles due out on 4th April – when the free...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 161
Sun is shining
The sun's actually come out here in the UK and it feels like Spring for the first time in forever. To recycle a tired old joke, then, you better pull your curtains shut and lock yourself inside for some games. It's the weekend so it's time for some WAYP – but what are you playing? Sammy Barker, Editor: I've started Mass Effect:...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 160
Business as usual
Ahhh, good – the weekend has arrived again. With the nights drawing longer but the weather still pretty poor, we reckon you can get away with another couple of days curled up on the couch with your PlayStation 4. Here's what we're playing this time. Graham Banas, Reviewer: The monster winter storm that we got has delayed me...
Talking Point Could 2017 Be Gaming's Greatest Ever Year?
GoaT mad
So here's the thing: we've never known a start to the year quite as strong as what 2017 is turning out to be. Last year was a fine year for games, but it was by-the-numbers – few games exceeded expectations and even fewer will live long in the memory. The past two and a bit months have been the opposite, though: exciting, fresh, and so...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 159
Right on queue
A busy week here at Push Square has seen PS4 firmware update 4.50 release, as well as several big titles arrive in the office. We'll be letting our hair down this weekend with some good old fashioned gaming, then. Here's what we're playing. Sammy Barker, Editor: I really want to polish up my Horizon: Zero Dawn Platinum Trophy this...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 158
Taste for adventure
There's no shortage of great games this weekend, as many of you will be getting stuck into Horizon: Zero Dawn for the first time, while we hear a new console launched elsewhere. Still, whether you're Switching it up, battling bots, or playing something entirely different, we want to hear from you in the comments section below...
Talking Point Are You Enjoying Horizon: Zero Dawn on PS4?
Totally Oseram
Even we're willing to admit that the build-up to Horizon: Zero Dawn has been intense. Sony sent us some branded biscuits today to celebrate the launch – that's a sign of how hard it's promoting the PlayStation 4 exclusive game. We're not going to lie, they were pretty tasty, too – but we digress. The release's now readily...
February2017
Talking Point Should PlayStation Be Paying Attention to Xbox Game Pass?
PlayStation Plus +
Microsoft made an interesting announcement today: Xbox Game Pass. The service, which is similar in principle to EA Access, will see you paying $9.99 per month in order to access a rotating selection of 100 games. You'll be able to download this software to your console and play it in its entirety for the duration that it remains...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 157
Short but sweet
Seems that gaming is an afterthought for much of our team this week, as this latest edition of WAYP is dreadfully short. Still, that happens from time to time, and so the pressure's on you to pad out the comments section with tales of your weekend gaming itinerary. Sammy Barker, Editor: When I'm not cleaning up the remaining quests...
Talking Point Which Free March 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
That time again
Surely it's not time for another PlayStation Plus update? Apparently, it is – but then we suppose February is the shortest month of the year. Still, it genuinely doesn't feel like that long ago that Sony dropped complimentary copies of LittleBigPlanet 3 and Not a Hero onto the PlayStation Store, but already it's time to start...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 156
Hunger games
There's no sign of the new releases slowing down after 2017 has started like a rocket. We've got several members of our team beavering away on big new games, while dozens more lurk menacingly around the corner. Of course, this isn't a time to look ahead, it's a time for reflection, so we ask that popular question again: what are you...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 155
Back on schedule
After last week's dramatically delayed What Are You Playing, we're back with a relatively on-time issue now that our hardware issues have (hopefully) been resigned to the past. Is there anything worse than computer problems, readers? We wouldn't mind if Windows 10 actually revealed what was wrong; instead it kicks up vague error...
Talking Point Are 'Live Games' Really What You Want on PS4?
The future
Ubisoft insinuated this week that it cancelled production on a more "traditional" game in order to bolster the content pipeline for its suite of "live games" – titles like The Crew, Rainbow Six: Siege, and The Division which are being iterated upon with regularity. But while this is clearly the future that publishers see for the PlayS
January2017
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 153
Rooster teeth
We're genuinely in the midst of PlayStation 4 heaven right now, as January has seen the console amass one of the strongest selections of games that we've seen since the system launched. That means you're no doubt playing something new this week, and we want to know what. Yakuza 0? Gravity Rush 2? Resident Evil 7? You know the drill...
Talking Point What Free PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want in February 2017?
Selection box
For as inevitably negative as everyone was, January's free roster of PlayStation Plus software was decent all things told – particularly on the PlayStation 4. We really liked Day of the Tentacle Remastered, and while we accept This War of Mine: Little Ones is more of an acquired taste, it's still ace if you're into that kind of...
Talking Point Should Sony Really Curate the PlayStation Store More?
X Factor
There's been a suggestion from some parts of the media that Sony should curate the PlayStation Store more heavily. It's a topic that's likely risen to prominence as we're in a quiet period right now, but everyone's having a say about it, from high-profile YouTubers all the way through to big-name publications. But is it really something...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 152
A-WAYP we go
We may have a new website, but the old favourites remain. WAYP is one of the longest running features here at Push Square, so despite the fancy new framework, we're not changing a damn thing about it. Regular readers should know the drill by now: we reveal our gaming schedule, before handing the microphone to you in the comments section...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 151
Switch it up
An exciting week comes to an end, with the Nintendo Switch now a known quantity. Of course, that's a topic of discussion for Nintendo Life and not necessarily Push Square. We've had a busy week as well, though, reviewing the likes of Gravity Rush 2 – and let me tell you, we're crunching really hard on a number of January's big titles...
Talking Point Should Sony Move Horizon: Zero Dawn's PS4 Launch Away from the Nintendo Switch?
Decisions, decisions
There are two certainties in life: the first is that we'll all die, and the other is that you can't compete with a console launch. While many paragraphs will be written about last night's Nintendo Switch presentation, the folks at Guerrilla Games will probably be too bummed to read them – after all, its big new intellectual...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 150
A massive milestone
It's a milestone issue of WAYP this week, mysteriously coinciding with Ashley Young's 150th appearance for Manchester United. Must be fate, eh? Anyway. It's the end of the first week back at work, and we sincerely hope it's been a slow one for you. How will you be spending the first full weekend of 2017? Sammy Barker, Editor: I...
Talking Point Will Sony Really Let the Uncharted Series Rest?
Hang up your half-tuck
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has sold 8.7 million copies globally since it launched less than a year ago. That is a staggering figure when you consider that the game is barely six months old, and will continue to post strong sales through the remainder of the generation. But it does pose a very important question: can Sony...
Talking Point What Sort of Story Do You Want Out of Spider-Man PS4?
Great power, great responsibility
While the IMDB "leak" regarding Spider-Man PS4 is almost certainly inaccurate – and Insomniac Games has even stressed as much – it has raised an interesting question: what kind of story do you want out of this PlayStation 4 exclusive adaptation? While the game was announced over six months ago, there's been very...
Talking Point Has Holiday 2016 Devalued New Games?
Cheap as chips
Booting up a £19.99 copy of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare over the Christmas break, we couldn't help but ponder whether this holiday gone has seriously devalued new games. All games get price drops eventually, of course – some sooner than others – but this feels different. On the European PlayStation Store right now you can nab...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 149
Happy New Year
Did you know that 2016 will be extended by a second? It's as if the Gods are mocking us, forcing us to endure such a dire year for a moment longer. The good news is that 2017 isn't too far away, and hopefully things will start looking up again. And of course, with it being a Bank Holiday weekend, it's the perfect opportunity to play...
Talking Point What PlayStation Pressies Did You Get for Xmas?
Receiving not giving
Anyone that tells you Christmas is a period for giving is a liar – it's all about what you receive. Okay, that's not strictly true, but there's a chance if you're reading this website you'll have received some form of PlayStation related gift this year. And we want to know all about it. Did you get your first PS4 console...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This... Christmas? - Issue 5
Xmas factor
It's the holidays, so not only does it mean we've got a special edition of WAYP lined up, but we've also polished it up in a timely manner. We upped the word count this week so that our staffers could cram in a few more of their plans, and we're hoping to see a similarly bulging comments section below. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm a good...
Talking Point Which Free January 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Take your pick
Santa hasn't even slipped down your chimney yet, and already we're talking about January 2017's free batch of PlayStation Plus goodies. That's because we're actually expecting an announcement of the Instant Game Collection lineup imminently – potentially before Christmas, but most likely in the days between the Big Day and the New...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 148
Winter magic
It's Christmas! Well, almost. Many of you will be flitting around like robins trying to complete the last of your holiday preparations this weekend, but the remainder of you will be eschewing the seasonal spirit by wrapping up warm with your PlayStation 4. We want to hear from the latter of you. Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor: I'm...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 147
Shortest issue ever
You know that brand of magazine that typically gets sold on high streets. Well, this edition of WAYP carries the opposite name to that. The thing is, for the first time in 147 weeks, your editor forgot to contact the team about this weekly feature. And thus, only two entries have been submitted – one of them coming from your...
Talking Point What Did You Think of Sony's PSX 2016 Presser?
An experience worth remembering?
The curtain has just closed on Sony's big PSX 2016 press conference, where some of the standout reveals included Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, WipEout Omega Collection, and PaRappa the Rapper. But it was the reveal of The Last of Us: Part II that really stole the show, while Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 146
Experience it
It's time for PSX 2016, so we suspect that a lot of you are going to be spending a portion of your weekend watching and responding to Sony's press conference. During the downtime, though, what will you be playing? Here's everything on our itinerary. Alex Stinton, Reviewer: This weekend, I'll hopefully be hoovering up the last...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 145
Late to the party
No, your weekly WAYP has not been cancelled – there's just been a small emergency here at Push Square Towers. It's all good, though, and we're back ready to filter through your weekend gaming itinerary. With this week being Thanksgiving in the States, we're sure that you Americans have got a great slate lined up. Jacob Hull,...
Talking Point Is Sony's Fall PS4 Exclusives Strategy Paying Off?
The numbers don't lie
It's been, aside from perhaps PlayStation Network outages, the biggest criticism pointed in Sony's direction: where are the major fall first-party games? The platform holder's obviously promoted plenty of third-party content during the all-important holiday period, but it's been less forthcoming with its own exclusives,...
Talking Point Which Free December PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Time to decide
That time again? That time again. Sony's set to announce December's free batch of PlayStation Plus games imminently, with a rollout likely on 6th December. But what are you hoping makes the cut in the Instant Game Collection this time? The only new release currently scheduled for 6th December is The Last Guardian, which is a...
Talking Point Why Are Fall's Biggest Blockbusters Flopping?
Signs of decline
It's not been a good few months if you pay attention to the UK sales charts. There have been a handful of success stories: Mafia III, against all odds, exceeded expectations – while Battlefield 1 has done well for itself. But by and large, it's been a quarter of catastrophic sequels: Titanfall 2? Down. Gears of War 4? Down. Call...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 144
Escapism
The weather's frightful, the television is awash with expensive Christmas marketing campaigns, and a bunch of British z-listers are camping in the Australian outback. This probably won't mean much to our International readers, but it basically means that Santa Claus is working on borrowed time right now. It's a scary prospect, so what...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 143
Solace
It's been… An interesting week to say the least, so what better way to reflect than with a hot hearth and some video games? There have been a lot of new releases lately, so you should have no shortage of things to play. But what's keeping you occupied this time? Y'all know the drill by now. Jacob Hull, Reviewer: Having splashed out a bit...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 142
Play time
We're late, we're late… With another edition of WAYP. Sorry for the delay getting up this issue of your weekly Talking Point, but we're swamped here at Push Square Towers right now – apparently there are video games being released. Blimey! Alex Stinton, Reviewer: Shooty shooty bang bang! How many FPSs can one man play in a weekend?...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 141
Time for change
The clocks are changing here in the UK, which means that life's about to get approximately 3.23 per cent more depressing starting Saturday evening. It's a good thing that there's PlayStation to keep us pre-occupied from the miserable mire that this existence involves, eh? Sammy Barker, Editor: I've been yanked back into the real...
Talking Point How's Your PlayStation VR Hype Holding Out?
Virtual revolution?
It's been two weeks since PlayStation VR released, and the headset is pretty much sold out around the world. While platform holder Sony is busy ramping up production in order to meet demand, we figured that it would be fun to poll some of you early adopters on your experience with virtual reality now that the initial enthusiasm...
Talking Point What Do You Want to Know About PS4 Pro?
Pro talk
We said earlier in the year when it was rumoured that Sony would launch both PlayStation VR and PlayStation 4 Pro this holiday that it would have its work cut out, and it's clear that the company's putting in overtime right now. Fresh from what appears to have been a very successful virtual reality release, the organisation now finds itself...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 140
Cobbled together
The weekend has arrived, which means that it's time for your weekly dose of WAYP. With the holiday season in full swing, much of our team are too busy beavering away on reviews to bring you witty asides, but we're sure that you'll make up for their absence in the comments section. Jacob Hull, Reviewer: This one snuck up on me a...
Talking Point What November 2016 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Take your pick
We're not quite sure how it's happened, but apparently it's already approaching November. That means, the depressingly dark nights and cold weather are drawing ever-near here at Push Square Towers – but there's salvation in the form of the impending PlayStation Plus update. So, after the excellent October update which included...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 139
VR you ready?
The majority of Push Square Towers will be avoiding the real-world this weekend, as we strap ourselves into Sony's virtual reality world via PlayStation VR. With such a gigantic launch offering, there are tons of titles for us to work our way through, so it's goodbye sunlight from us. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm playing Ace Banana...
Talking Point What's Your PlayStation VR Launch Experience Been Like?
It's a virtual reality
PlayStation VR is out now around the world, which means that we're able to stop telling you how amazing it is, while you experience it for yourself. We've reviewed the hardware, given our verdict on a half-dozen or so games, and even discussed stuff such as Cinematic Mode – but now it's your t

If the Shu fits
Another week, another WAYP – it's time again to chinwag about the titles that you'll be playing this weekend. First up, it's the turn of our team, but there's unlimited space in the comments section for all of you. Let us know what you're up to. Sammy Barker, Editor: It's all PlayStation VR, all the time for me this weekend...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 137
The calm before the storm
The holiday season is well and truly upon us, which means that this week probably represents your final opportunity to clear your backlog – unless you're already busy with FIFA 17, of course. The coming weeks will see the introduction of a not-so insignificant number of games, including Mafia III, Battlefield 1, and more...
September2016
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 136
Short and sweet
We're on location this week, so you're getting the shortest WAYP in the history of the feature. That's okay, though, because we're sure that you'll have ample insight to stack into the comments. You know the drill: let us know what you're playing down below. Jacob Hull, Reviewer: It's a Premier League weekend, so just you try and...
Talking Point What October PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Free the freebies
The price has gone up in North America, but few could be disappointed with September 2016's selection of free PlayStation Plus games. Between the excellent Journey and the agreeable Lords of the Fallen, the PlayStation 4 alone played host to two really worthwhile downloads last time out. But now it's time to starting thinking about...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 135
Iron rising
The nights are drawing in and the skies have turned a subtle shade of grey; the summer's officially over and it's time to start thinking about investing in a new woolly jumper or three. The good news is that while the sun goes on annual leave, games are beginning to release, and while we're not quite in the thick of the silly season just...
Talking Point What Did You Think of Sony's TGS 2016 Press Conference?
Beast in the East?
It got practically no build-up, but Sony's TGS 2016 press conference was decent – even if it lacked new announcements. The platform holder centred on upcoming Japanese releases like Final Fantasy XV, New Hot Shots Golf, and more but also found time to mention PlayStation VR and other hardware initiatives. But what did you think...
