Welcome to another March weekend! There's plenty to keep you busy on Xbox over the next couple of days, including a few new Xbox Game Pass additions, four great Free Play Days titles, a massive set of Xbox deals with over 500 games on sale, and the arrival of the surprise Resident Evil 4 remake demo earlier this week!
Here's what we're playing this weekend:

Most of my focus right now is on the release of WWE 2K23 next week, so I might dip back into WWE 2K22 in anticipation over the weekend. A quick playthrough of MyGM sounds like a good idea for a lazy Sunday!
I also picked up LEGO CITY Undercover recently which I'm hoping to spend some time with in the near future. I've played it before and consider it one of the best LEGO games, so I'd like to give it another shot on Xbox this time.
For those wondering, I did enjoy Diablo 3: Eternal Collection on Xbox Free Play Days last week, although I didn't get to play as much as I'd have liked. Fingers crossed it finds its way to Xbox Game Pass before the end of the year...
Have a good weekend, folks.

I'm still plugging away at Mafia 2: Definitive Edition after picking it up for dirt cheap on sale the other week. So far it's been really good fun and the storyline is thoroughly engaging. I wish I'd played this earlier!
Other than that, I'm yet to properly dig into Halo Infinite Season 3, so I'll definitely be putting a bit of time aside this weekend to try out all the new content 343 has delivered. Squad up, Spartans!
Have a good weekend, all.

Hello. This weekend I'm gonna be blasting away at a few bits and pieces for review, so that'll be taking up most of my gaming time. However, I will 100% be putting aside a little quality me time to dig into Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (a game I picked up on release and totally forgot I owned!), as well as finally getting around to wrapping up the Series X version of the Dead Space remake, which is just incredible really, innit.
Have a good one!

This weekend I'll be jumping back into Halo Infinite to try out Season 3 of the multiplayer. It's been a long wait, so I'm glad it's finally here. So far, I'm quite impressed - the bandit weapon is a nice addition to the Spartan loadout and the new maps have also been a blast.
Apart from this, I'm also returning to Destiny 2. I've been far less consistent with this one over the years. I did complete the main game at launch but never really gave the expansions a chance, so I'm now aiming to work my way up to the Witch Queen and the latest release Lightfall.
Happy gaming, everyone!

Hey folks, this weekend I’m going to put the majority of my focus into Eastward. I picked it as my third game I’d like to 100% this year, so wish me luck! Outside of the quest for completion, I’m going to hop back into Halo Infinite’s Season 3 update. I recently uploaded my initial hands-on impressions to our YouTube (share some love on the vid, pls, my poor, poor ego).
Finally, I bought 2005’s Resident Evil 4 because it was on sale for £6-ish. I wanted to see what the fuss was about before I tried out the Resident Evil 4 Remake demo.
Have a lovely weekend!

The Quarry
Ratchet and Clank
The usual for me. A bit of Sea of Thieves. We’re continuing on with the shores of gold tall tales. We’re on Wild Rose now!
Also a bit of Halo Infinite too. Loving season 3 so much. I was worried of be pants at escalation slayer but it’s really fun! I’ve only played the new BTB map once. I think next week is the featured playlist so I’m looking forward to BTB Escalation! It’s going to be insane!
I'm still playing Mass Effect 2, This game is just so good..
Control: Ultimate Edition. The PS4 version had a such abysmal performance that I literally couldn't finish the game. On the Series S however, it's shocking how 60fps can transform a game. It's so fun to throw objects at the crazy Hiss lol!
@Bmartin001 Nobody gets left behind... not even Jacob, unless you're like me and you ignored him the entire game lmao!
I’m still deeply into Octopath Traveler II (Nintendo Switch). I’ve completed everyone’s second chapter, acquired all secondary jobs, purchased an expensive ship, and have beat a few “Crossed Paths” missions.
Right now, I’m very invested in Castti’s (The Apothecary) storyline. There’s a lot of mystery and intrigue around the one they call “Bonemender”. Also, I have Osvald’s (The Scholar) secondary class as a Warrior, and let me tell you—he’s OP.
Ultimately, I’m enamored with the game and yet to experience burnout, which is a testament to how brilliant I think the game is. Personally, I consider it one of the best JRPGs ever made, and I can’t pull myself away from the game even after 40+ hours. I’m looking forward to seeing where all of these character stories end up, and I have a feeling by the time it’s all said and done my playtime will be between 80-100+ hours.
The next game(s) on my list to play next are: Wo Long Fallen Dynasty, Dead Space Remake, Metroid Fusion, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, and Resident Evil 4 Remake when it releases.
Trying to finish up guardians Of the galaxy before it leaves Gamepass.
Started Soul Hackers 2 yesterday and there sure is a lot of dialogue early on but I am not hating it so far it definitely fits in between the SMT and Persona games just maybe not up to their higher standards.
codevein was on sale so i buyed it while i wait for wolcen to come out. 😊👌✌️
Playing "Wo Long" non stop since it's release...
I beat Theatrhythm Final Bar Line last week on the Switch and I’m currently playing Hogwarts Legacy on the ps5. Not enjoying HL as much as I would’ve hoped TBH.
Probably gonna start Metroid Prime Remastered later today and finally play the only Forza Horizon game I’ve never played now that I found a physical copy of Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox One.
Session and probably some Watch Dogs Legion
I can't stop with the Yakuza series, so I started Yakuza 3, but my main focus is Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty which I'm loving.
I also wanted to finish Paradise Killer but I haven't been playing it.
Just finished elden ring last night, I think I Will begin Hi Fi Rush , or Bayonetta 3 on switch, or anything on my back log . Never thought Elden ring would take me so much time and become such an obsession but nowI think I'm done with it.
Advancing very slowly with Sherlock chapter 1.. mainly for two reasons: Im playing it with my wife and we dont have much time to play video games together, also the game can be a bit obtuse.
Im also halfway through Jedi fallen order... amazing title
Continuing my journeys through Hogwarts Legacy and Psychonauts
Playing some Wo Long and absolutely loving it. Absolutely every bit as good as the Nioh games and feels like one in all but name.
Yesterday I finished Power Wash Simulator, did everything and got 1k gs. Later in the night decided to pick up again Far Cry 6 and go do some of the DLC, I own all of them but never touched them.
Where are the fighting fans?! Guys, Guilty Gear is pure art and solid mechanics. I've been playing it on GP, but I'll definitely pick it up (DLCs and all), as soon as I've got the funds for that.
On a side note, I've bounced away from Atomic Heart: I was simply having no fun with it, as hard as I tried to...Has it ever happened to you, guys? I mean, being hyped and then, after some hours with a game, you simply stopped caring?
Octopath Traveler 2 on Switch, and I kinda got the itch for an old favorite, so Dark Cloud 2 on PS5.
Gonna try finish off Jedi Fallen Order, or at least get a good chunk done. Currently on Dathomir.
Xbox: Halo Infinite.
Switch: Mario Bowsers Fury.
PlayStation: The Last of Us.
Mostly still playing Wo Long and still loving every minute of it! Also played through the RE 4 Remake demo. Can’t wait for the full game.
On xbox DMC4 SE as I had to shelve wo long again. I suck, I can't help it!
For switch, metroid prime remastered.
For my 3ds, I'm actually playing a little bit of phantom hourglass
Twisted Metal: Head-On (PSP) - Been dying to try out another installment after completing the second one.
Hitman GO (Windows Phone) - Still very much enjoying playing through these levels. Completed the first two worlds already.
I've been getting back into Forza, doing the weekly challenges, kinda hyped for the new DLC coming soon. Then I am still trying to beat Atomic Heart.
wo long. I think it's the best 3rd party game they've added day one on game pass
I'm playing Pickles and Mustard Jar Adventures: Need to Find a Fork
Xbox: Just finished Hi-Fi Rush last night, now I'm starting Young Souls before it leaves gamepass
Switch: Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Playing Syberia: The World Before. Great game that is highly underrated. Also, just picked up Bendy and the Dark Revival.
Getting Control over and done with (ultimate edition, my 3rd playthrough). Went to some oldies as well with mirror’s edge catalyst and the evil within 2 (which is shocklingly good in terms of mechanics and gameplay, the fps boost helps a lot too since this game at 60fps is damn sweeeeeet!). Have a nice weekend all 😊
So I finished up Pickles and Mustard Jar Adventures and now im playing Beaufort's holiday with the In-laws Uncle Cousins. That one sounds like a real winner to me, hopefully it's as good as it sounds. Fingers crossed.
After finally defeating the first boss last week, I managed to squeeze in a session on Fri night and complete Valley of the Crying Wraiths.
Still undecided on how high to rate it. Some great environments and some decent enemies, but it's quite jerky at times. Going to continue with it for a while though.
Damn, I'm really having trouble hitting those diagonals to jump forward on Guilty Gear. The dpad on the Series S/X controller isn't good for fighting games.
I play this on PS5 and have no issues. Anyone else noticed this?
