What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 13-14)
It’s been a long week (for us at least!), but the weekend is finally here! There’s plenty to enjoy on Xbox over the next couple of days including some great new Xbox Game Pass additions, no less than seven Xbox Free Play Days titles, a great sale featuring hundreds of games, a free Prince of Persia demo and so much more!
Here’s what we’re playing this weekend:

Alright, so I feel like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a good shout for this weekend. I’m not well versed in the world of Assassin’s Creed by any means, but I played the prologue the other night on Xbox Cloud Gaming, and I feel like it was enough to entice me into a full download. Will it hold my attention for long? That remains to be seen!
Red Dead Redemption 2 is still calling to me at the moment as well, so I’ll probably spend a bit of time with Rockstar’s most recent masterpiece. How about some Rock Band 4 as well? When I don’t know what to play, I always tend to revert to Rock Band 4 for a quick session – I love that they’re still supporting that game after nearly 10 years!
Have a good weekend, folks.

Well, I’m gonna be quite busy on the review front with a few things currently under progress, but I will definitely be putting some serious time into LEGO Jurassic World, which I nabbed for three quid recently, and am now being forced to play through in co-op with my (terrible) children. It is very good, to be fair.
I’m also really excited to see Super Mega Baseball 4 on Game Pass, by the way. I’ve been telling everyone I know to play this game, it’s one of my absolute favourite sports titles at the moment. Seriously, thank me later. I’ll also have a little dabble with We Happy Few just to see how it’s changed since I last played years ago on PC. I have a real soft spot for the art style and vibe of this one, there’s something very specifically British, something very A Clockwork Orange/retro futuristic that, despite some mechanical shortcomings, makes it very difficult to put down once you start, it’s very unique. Another one to try off Game Pass for you there, then.
Have a good weekend, pals!

I’ve got a few games in mind that I’d like to play this weekend with the main one being Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. I genuinely didn’t see myself being hooked on it but here I am, completely obsessed with Sargon’s time-bending antics.
The other games I fancy dabbling with (and I say this like playing them would be cheating on my urge to only play Prince of Persia for the entire 48 hours available) is Alan Wake 2 now I’ve fully immersed myself into the bizarre world of Mr Scratch, and my latest purchase OlliOlli World. It looks like a peaceful way to spend my time, one kickflip at a time.
Happy gaming, everyone!
