Welcome to the weekend! As usual, we've got more new Xbox Game Pass titles to check out over the next few days, an extra batch of Free Play Days titles, and the wide range of Deals with Gold and similar sales on Xbox right now.
Here's what we're playing this weekend:

I'm having a few days off from work at the moment, so I've got some time to play a few things. The one game that I've found myself being pleasantly surprised by is Soundfall, which is a great new rhythm-based dungeon crawler. It's not the type of game I'd typically find myself playing, but the soundtrack is great — I'm pretty hooked!
Aside from that, I've been busy reviewing a curious little platformer ahead of its release later this month, and I'm still very much hooked on eFootball PES 2021 (but on PC for the mods). It's probably about time I tried eFootball 2022 again, but I'm just really not a fan of what Konami has done with its football franchise... PES didn't need to die!
Have a good weekend, folks.

Well, this weekend on Xbox is all about both Arma Reforger and Evil Dead: The Game for me. I'm still getting to grips with Reforger, it's a tough nut to crack in terms of getting used to how it all operates, but I've been extracting plenty of tense joy from the firefights I've engaged in with its extremely capable enemy AI.
As far as Evil Dead: The Game goes, I bought it a few days ago and have yet to have a go, so I'm looking forward to finally settling into some suitably bloody action at some point over the next few days.
Have a good weekend, whatever you're up to or playing!

It's an evil weekend for me as I too will be sinking some more time into Evil Dead: The Game! My first impressions were pretty positive after a few hours of play, and I'm keen to dig in and really learn the ins and outs of Saber's 4v1 horror title, y'know, before everyone else gets too good and I'm frequently laid in a heap on the forest floor.
Aside from that, I've been back on Black Ops Cold War to be honest, as developer Treyarch just added the classic 'Jungle' map into multiplayer. This one's been round the block a few times, but sniping from that rocky overhang just never gets old...
Enjoy your weekend guys!

Revisiting outriders, game is dumb fun.
Also a bit of hitman 3
On the switch I will continue with fire emblem three houses with the golden deer House, want to try and complete it before the new warriors game come out.
On playstation 5 I will be continuing with trails of cold steel and so far I don't see the fuss about this game, maybe it's the outdated feel and graphics but I will stick it out. I should also complete the voice of cards forsaken maiden
Playing yakuza 5 ps4 at the moment on my ps5 which I’m about halfway through with.
Also bought tiny tina’s wonderlands at a sale for ps5 for €25 which I’ll be playing after. It’s actually my first ps5 game I bought myself new/not used since my launch pre orders, all my other pickups where either used or gifts.
Besides that I am still playing fire emblem fates birthright on my 3ds, animal crossing new horizons on my switch and forza horizon 5 on my XSX.
Both Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Farming simulator 22 dropped this week on GamePass…and I don’t which to play first 🤔
Finally got round to giving Research and Destroy a go. It's absolutely amazing. @Purexbox you should definitely get a mini review of this game up.
I have gotten around to cleaning up my backlog, and finishing up games I had started but stopped playing for one reason or another.
On the PS5 front, I have beaten Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and Sifu - both of which are excellent games; and thank god for the difficulty options for Sifu because that is one reason I bounced off of it initially.
As for my Xbox Series X; I’m now going to try and finish the campaign in Sniper Elite 4 before 5 drops on Game Pass next week. I’m also playing Spec Ops: The Line and Enslaved Odyssey to the West - two games I never got around to during the 360-era because I was deep into Halo 2/3 multiplayer. EOttW looks absolutely gorgeous for a game that releases in 2009. It’s a shame that it has taken me this long to play these two gems because they are incredible, and even unappreciated.
I've just finished Elden Ring and feel in a bit of a malaise, I've got a bunch stuff in my backlog but nothing is really appealing so will probably just stay casual this weekend with a bit of FIFA
I'm finally just started Ori & The Will Of The Wisps..
I am at the end of Tunic , trying to beat the last boss and it’s not easy.
Arkham City, Turok and Naughty Bear on 360. Still working thru the ones that are not forwards compatible
I'm currently playing through Cyberpunk 2077
@Boldfoxrd Naughty Bear! I totally forgot about that game! That was such a strange fun game! Good taste.
Still forcing myself through Alien: Isolation.
I've also been pushing deeper into Doom 2 RPG which I'm playing on an emulator on my Android. It's actually pretty fun and interesting, and the only Doom game I have left to complete (outside of expansion packs, mods, etc).
Going to be continuing with my D&D campaign this weekend.
I’m taking a break from Xbox until my new Series X arrives. I used the hotstock app and was able to get my hands on one directly from Microsoft. It’s supposed to be delivered in the next week or so. Meanwhile Metroid Dread and Horizon Forbiden West are occupying my time until I can dive back into Halo Infinite and Horizon 5 with no loading times! I love my OneX but man it’s slow after using the PS5. Have a great weekend everyone!
Dead rising 2
I beat Tunic and got the true ending, what a masterpiece. Everything clicked for me with that game, Zelda meets Dark Souls. Im going back to Death's Door now to finish my playthrough. I just got Traingle Strategy on the switch so going to start that
The Great Wobo Escape (Windows Phone) - Just starting.
Dragon Mania Legends (Windows Phone) - Going back to finish this off.
ExZeus 2 (Windows Phone) - Got all the high scores I can now, I think I'm done now.
Gears 4 campaign (completed Saturday morning), Division 2, Eiyuden Chronicle.
