And thus marks the end to a clumsy week, where your humble host has messed up his elbow and pulled a muscle in his neck. The weekend brings the promise of rest and relaxation – or at least it would if we didn't have a handful of previews to write ahead of their embargo lifting next week. FML.

I've barely played a game all week, so I am looking to rectify that at some point over the weekend. I'm finding The Division infinitely more compelling than I expected, but I'm still early on, so I hope to return to the snowy streets of Manhattan at some point over the coming days.

It's one of those rare weekend where I'm not really sure what to play, although there are plenty of options. I've been tempted to cautiously sneak back into Fallout 4, but I feel like I may as well wait for this month's DLC. When it comes down to it, I'll probably just piddle around on a few different fighting games, as is usually the case when I'm not reviewing things. God, it's a hard life.

After several weeks of foolishly thinking that this week would be the one where I finally beat Fallout 4, I'm going to continue hoping to make strides towards actually making that happen. After sixty or so hours though I feel like I've barely even made a dent in Bethesda's monstrous game.

Having only bought it for the sole purpose of playing with friends, The Division is on my to-play list to knock out some story missions and side quests with them. I'll also be playing through Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance some more and strive to set aside some time for Dying Light's co-op campaign.

It's all Hitman for me this weekend. With every Prologue mission done and dusted, I'll be concentrating my energies on its Paris fashion show section (which I'm hoping has a Zoolander DLC coming) as I try to find all 32 ways of taking down the targets. Still, if it gets a bit too dark, I'll switch to the bright world of Rocket League, where I can't be judged by how bad I am at sports.

I love a good twin-stick shooter and so Assault Android Cactus is the game that I'll be checking out this weekend. If I have any spare time after that I'll be trying for the Hitman Go Platinum trophy.

I'd forgotten how thoroughly addictive collecting the gems in Gravity Rush is, cunningly tucked away all over (and under) Hekseville. Equally as satisfying is the fanfare when you upgrade one of Kat's abilities, which is fuelled by said gems. My weekend will be these two things: hoovering up the myriad purple delights, then using them to trigger that empowering little tune. Oh, and play some story missions, maybe.

This weekend I am going multiplayer with Guns, Gore, and Cannoli with the fellows from work. Also, as usual, a bit of Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
