Assassin's Creed Origins PS4 PlayStation 4 1

And just like that there are too many games to play. The market is currently flooded with new releases, and there are plenty more to come over the next three or four weeks. The question is: what’s keeping you busy this weekend? You know the drill by now.

I'll be spending my weekend in sunny old Egypt as I sprint through Assassin's Creed Origins. So far I'm enjoying it way more than the last couple of entries, and as long as it keeps that godawful modern day storyline away from me, I'll continue to be one happy, stabby, hooded man.

This weekend, I'm only going to have eyes for Wolfenstein. It's been far too long since I've killed any Nazis. Plus, it's a single player only game. Gotta keep the dream alive.

In between attending sessions of this big conference that my church is hosting, I’m drowning in gaming glory. It’s Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Super Mario Odyssey for me. Considering that the former’s the sequel to one of my favorite FPSs and the latter’s akin to my favorite game ever (Super Mario Galaxy), man... This weekend is something else.

I've finally started my bid for the Platinum Trophy in Final Fantasy IX. When I arrived at the infamous jump rope mini-game - in which you've got to skip a rope 1,000 times without tripping - I became somewhat dismayed after 15 minutes of trying and only managing a personal best of six. By the time the Trophy popped, I looked like Robin Williams when he gets rescued from the jungle in Jumanji. So that's the Trophy for 100 jumps done, now to spend an entire weekend trying to get to 1,000. Pray for me.

It'll be a mix of Dark Souls 3 and PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer for me this weekend. If I get too frustrated in the Kingdom of Lothric then off to the footy I'll go - that is, until Dejan Lovren forgets how to use his legs and I'm 3-0 down to Swansea.

With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus receiving extremely favourable reviews, I've decided to finally catch up on the series, so I'll be playing a bit of Wolfenstein: The New Order this weekend. Aside from that, there's still the small matter of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, of which I feel I've only just scratched the surface.

So this weekend I am Switching things up a bit (see what I did there?) and I will be sinking some time into Super Mario Odyssey which I am enjoying a lot. When others are playing that, I will be playing Overwatch.


What games will be keeping you busy this weekend, then? You know the drill in the comments section below.
