There's no escape

What? The end of another week already? We're rapidly approaching the last few months of 2015 now, so we can see these articles getting bigger and bigger as we get closer and closer to the holiday rush. Indeed, now's the time to try and get your backlog sorted out before the blockbuster releases start pouring in - but we're not exactly confident that we'll be able to do so.

Who's ready for some Destiny, then? The divisive shooter's absolutely seeing a huge resurgence of late, mostly because people are trying to get their Guardians prepared for The Taken King, and I'm no different. The me of three months ago would be disgusted, but honestly, I'm really enjoying it these days. Of course, the delightful Push Square community is partly to thank for that.

This weekend, I'll be playing a fair bit of Destiny once again, as I get ready for the imminent release of The Taken King. I've had a great time of late playing the game with members of the Push Square community, and worryingly, our Friday night raid seems to be becoming a bit of a fixture.

This weekend will be one of two halves for me. I'll be cramming in some Vita time on public transport, playing through Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair's island mode and trying to get my 50th Platinum Trophy. I'll be using my precious downtime at home to play Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - my first leap into the Metal Gear franchise. I've only completed the prologue so far, so there are many hours ahead of me as I find what I've been missing out on all these years.

I'm returning to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag this weekend with its substantial DLC called Freedom Cry. I love how you get to play as Adéwalé (Edward Kenway's right-hand man) and see what happened with him after he joined the Assassins. In addition, I think I'm going to start on Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I just hope the transition from PSP to the PS3 makes the game even better!

This weekend I'll be having a lovely lovely day in Mad Max, exploring the Wasteland and blowing everything that passes me to smithereens. As a challenge I'll be seeing how long I can drag someone around with the harpoon because I'm a horrible person.

This weekend I'll be preparing my Guardians for their journey ahead into Destiny, The Taken King. The recent 2.0 update has added a lot to the game so I've got to get to grips with it by next weekend, ready for the new raid.


That's what we're playing this weekend, but what are you doing? Are you shooting aliens in the face via Destiny, or are you perhaps engaging in some stealthy action courtesy of Metal Gear Solid V? Sit back and relax in the comments section below.
