After a short hiatus, Out This Week has returned to help you plan out your gaming time. This week is significant as it sees the arrival of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 – the latest instalment in Activision’s blockbuster first-person brand. We’re also due the pitter-patter of a fresh roster of PlayStation Plus goodies – even if Sony has yet to officially confirm the previously leaked lineup at the time of typing.
Pick of the Week: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
The dreadfully disappointing Call of Duty: Ghosts may haunt the series for a while yet, but Sledgehammer Games’ first solo effort Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is hoping to exorcise the worst demons by pushing the property into the future. A ‘next-gen first’ effort, this is the best that the smash hit series has looked in quite some time, with Kevin Spacey lending his likeness to the title’s villainous antagonist.
Boasting a story about private military corporations, you should expect the usual action movie bombast in this release’s single player campaign. It’s over in multiplayer, however, where the ultramodern setting is guaranteed to have the biggest impact, advancing the series’ silky smooth action with rocket jumps and more. Oh, and there’s also a new multiplayer mode that best resembles basketball. Slam dunk.

Issac for me, looks cool if a bit disturbing. Yeah it is strange that Sony haven't released a blog post about IGC yet. Probably because they don't like the idea of their staff getting abused every time Plus is mentioned.
Dat Kevin Spacey though!!
Nah, seriously, Kevin spacey does an amazing job in the cod campaign. It's my first cod in years. So far it's worth the buy!
This week is pretty...well...weak. Nothing looks enjoyable except Binding of Isaac, and even that is a maybe. Oh well. Every week doesn't have to be a smash hit, and I have plenty of games to keep me busy.
Gotta give Sledgehammer credit, Advanced Warfare turned out quite a bit better than I expected, I'm actually starting a replay of the campaign to get some of the stuff I missed and because it's just fun to play.
Is this week ps+ freebies week? Lol
I'd say I'm looking forward to some respect and transparency from Sony, but I'm not feeling too confident.
This month's behaviour around the plus update- not the games, but the wall of silence to the thousands of people questioning what is happening- has been a huge kick in the teeth.
@danny2kd It's supposed to be...
@get2sammyb I thought so judging by all the games that are released this week. Thanks
@get2sammyb Fred Dutton mentioned that it's not been delayed on twitter, and that there's news coming.
@get2sammyb any chance you can look into the shareplay issue with aw? Crickets on my end, and seems odd its not working. More odd that the 2 games that ive found not working are cod and minecraft. Not a conspiracy theorist or anything, and hope its just a didnt expect 2.0 patch thing, but was really looking forward to really giving shareplay a run for its money with a buddy of mine while he waited for his copy to download.
Toss up between binding of Isaac and frozen synapse, I'll also be playing CoD AW. Voted for frozen Synapse, pretty jammy that were getting it so early on vita.
Everyone seems to love spacey, I do hope that its because they know he's terrible and beyond cheese, just like fellow academy award winner nic cage.
Its a good day in gaming when the same tired old formula is less wanted than unique, lower budget, innovative games.
Im not interested in Isaac but its good to see people want new unique stuff than same old same old.
Also if youve not played How to Survive, its a blast. I had on 360 and this is a crisper, better experience!
@LDXD This is the only reason Id play CoD at all, but they dont cater to the Campaign crowd.
I reckon itll clock 5 maybe 6 hours tops, and thats if youre on hard.
@Gamer83 but it's not openworld just in the same way Driveclub was 'lacking' an open world experience, therefore its just average crud.
@LDXD
About 8 hours.
Love how not one person is excited about the Hungry Horde.
@LDXD
I wouldn't say they don't care about it. It's a short campaign but that doesn't mean it's bad, I'd actually say this one is pretty damn good. One of my favorite PS3 games is Heavenly Sword, that one took five hours to beat. The focus with CoD, and nearly every FPS, is multiplayer but Sledgehammer didn't just brush the campaign aside.
