Are we all ready for a spooky weekend? Halloween is finally upon us, and so is a wealth of new titles to dive into. Outside of new Xbox Game Pass titles, Free Play Days and the several sales taking place, we also have huge new AAA releases such as Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Riders Republic to enjoy.
Here's what we’re jumping into over the next few days:

I think I'm going to spend quite a bit of my weekend playing Back 4 Blood once again, which is definitely becoming a go-to multiplayer title for me at the moment. Another game I can't stop playing right now is EA's NHL 22, which isn't the biggest step up from NHL 21, but I've started a new Be a Pro career as a goalie which is always fun.
We've had a bunch of new Xbox Game Pass additions over the past few days as well, and I'm definitely going to be playing some of those. The Forgotten City is probably my most anticipated. Oh, and I finally tried Hades with Xbox Cloud Gaming earlier this week, and it's convinced me to download the game to my console. So much fun!
Have a great weekend, everyone.

I'm actually stepping away from gaming a little bit this weekend and instead will be having a horror movie marathon with my partner. We have a huge list of films to dive into, starting with a showing at our local cinema for Edgar Wright's latest movie, Last Night in Soho. Over the weekend we'll be diving into foreign delights such as Train to Busan, along with more widely known classics such as Child's Play and The Exorcist.
Going back to gaming, I'll be checking out Moonglow Bay on Xbox Game Pass mainly, along with the upcoming platformer Demon Turf, which I can't wait to talk about next week.
Finally, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is calling to me with its Halloween celebrations, along with some fun multiplayer matches on Mario Party Superstars. It's a busy weekend!
Have a spooky one, folks.

Will be mostly playing Final Fantasy 7 on Vita this weekend. For some reason, I'm not in a mood to play any horror games now. So I'm going to go with something more cheerful. I'll also be checking out Mario Party Superstars with some friends.
Might also play Tearaway Unfolded and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and try to wrap up those games.
Being back with Xbox after a short stint with a PS5 I'm happy to start playing catch up with some games I have missed out on since April. Think I'll start with Back 4 Blood and maybe finish Red Dead Redemption before FH5 hits and I won't play anything else for the next month 😉 Happy gaming all!
playing a bunch of games this weekend across all systems.
Ps4: Life is Strange True Colors. And Kena Bridge of Spirits
Xbox 1: Far Cry 6 And Guardians of the Galaxy
Switch: Metroid Dread & Ender lilies
Lost Judgement 😎😀
I mean, I want to play Good life, Tenchu Z, Back 4 Blood....
But Lost Judgement is, like, way way wayyyyyy too addictive to put down.
I love flying games so playing Project Wingman this weekend.
To start getting ready for Halo Infinite, I'm finally playing Halo Wars 2 several years later than I should have been. Better late than never I guess, as I'm enjoying it so far.
Actually wanted to play Pumpkin Jack but the next gen update completely broke it on Series X. Crashes on launch. Dev says they have submitted update but may be a few more days before we get it.
I hope to have time for Costume Quest 2
Came into a bit of money this week and splashed out on a lot of games, now I don't know where to start, I bought
Demon slayer (ps5)
Mario Party superstars
Project zero maiden of Blackwater (ps5)
Animal Crossing
Dying light (switch)
Neptunia x Senran kagura (ps5)
NEO world ends with you (switch)
Scarlet nexus (ps5)
Live stream escape hotel inazami (switch)
Just finished Aragami 2, was a great game but they filled it out way too much. Would have been a better experience with 25ish levels not 50. Story was nothing exciting but can't beat a good old fashioned sneak em up.
Anyway this weekend was set aside for Echo Generation but after a couple of hours on it last night it's not for me. So instead I'm going to give Biomutant a spin, see if it appeals. Then the usual Back 4 Blood and Sea of Thieves.
Switch: Metroid Dread. I have developed such a love hate relationsship with this game. I feel so accomplished whenever I mamage to go further but I also havent rage quitted this much in my life I think.
Series S: Im starting Forgotten City this weekend. Really looking forward to it!
PS5: Death Stranding DC. This might be my favourite game of all time which is weird because its also a game I dont recommend to anybody.
Recently finished: The campaign in Back4Blood. A fun game but I dont see myself continue playing it.
Switch - More Metroid Dread and also dusting off The Outer Worlds!
PC - Gmod with friends!
Have a good weekend everyone.
I’m playing Riders Republic, Far Cry 6, and wondering on whether to pull the trigger on Guardians of the Galaxy 🤔
Lots of horror movies this weekend! The Wailing is a great one if you've got a few hours spare.
In terms of gaming, I'm currently making my way through Dying Light.
Got Deathloop on PS5, Guardians for XSX and Metroid Dread for Switch. Only managed 20 minutes on Guardians so far, but hope to make a start on Deathloop on Sunday
I'm playing a whole lot of Animal Crossing, Getting ready for the big update..
I'll likely spend my limited gaming time in Eastshade and if by any miracle i have extra time Halo 4.
I'm about a 1/3 of the way through Halo 4 and it's a fantastic game. The graphic improvement from 3 is massive and the guns have a great feel to them. Story so far is great as well.
Fatal Frame Maiden of Black water during the day and Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town at night.
Also trying to convince my brother to get the new Mario Party so we can play together.
Back 4 blood world war z gems of war
Resident Evil 2 (N64) - Closing in on William Burkin, time for the final showdown!
Mahjong by Microsoft (Droid) - Daily Challenges and also working on various puzzle packs.
Burn the Rope (Windows Phone) - Just starting on this.
I am having a blast playing Mad Max, (what a underrated game that is). I recently bought it for loose change and feel like i got away with theft.
Also playing MK11, which has the most whacky story ever and i absolutely adore it.
I'm playing age of empires and lord of the rings online. I have been impressed with age of empires campaign it's really good.
Just biding my time until Vanguard releases this upcoming week. And then it’ll be BF2042 after that at the request of my son. And then I ended up starting Monster Hunter Rise this past week. Busy times
Finishing up Resident Evil 4 VR and loving every minute.
I finished The Knife of Dunwall DLC for Dishonored last night, and enjoyed it very much.
I started Spec Ops: The Line earlier today and am looking forward to whatever it may have to offer.
Playing Back 4 Blood tonight with the guys.
Picked up Resident Evil Village on sale so getting stuck into that.
Wanted a quick shooter fix so playing through Titanfall 2 again. It's still one of the most underrated games around in my opinion.

Man, you are in for a hell of a story. I used the word "hell" on purpose, too. I'm talking about Spec Ops: The Line. The shooting mechanics may be a pretty standard affair, but the setting and plot more than make up for it.
In the mood for more "creepy kooky" horror than straight up survival horror, so I'm playing through the (bloody fantastic, so far) Lost in Random. Its not *really a horror game, but since it is sporting a dark color palette, a dead-on Tim Burton/Henry Selick/Laika-esque aesthetic and an incredible sound design, it really gives off a proper "spooky bedtime story" feeling. I'm loving it.
Besides that, I'm playing Psychonauts 2 some more too, and Rare's Grabbed by the Ghoulies via Rare Replay. I'm torn on that one big-time; sometimes its very fun, and sometimes its just very frustrating. Really wish they focused on some platforming mechanics and traversal elements sometimes, because the haunted house vibe is strong in that one and you just want to walk away from the sometimes-unfair fights to explore these locales. Even those linear QTE "creeping down hallways" sequences are kind of welcome breaks in the action - they feel like a theme park ride.
Happy Halloween, everybody.
Replaying Crysis 2 on Game Pass. Such a fun ride!
