We may be officially out of the ultra-busy release season, but games don’t stop releasing. This week, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga finally came out on Tuesday, sonic the hedgehog 2 hits theaters today, the Major League Baseball season is officially underway and Tiger Woods is competing in the PGA Masters tournament a year after a horrific injury. There’s a lot to play and watch this weekend, and we want to know what you’re spending your time with, so feel free to let us know about your plans in the comments on this edition of weekend warrior!
First, let’s see what the Newsgames.com staff is doing with their upcoming days off:
wesley leblanc – I have so many games that I started but have yet to finish: Horizon Forbidden West, Weird West, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Gran Turismo 7 and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. But last night, I started Sonic Generations, a game I’ve never played before, but got interested after seeing it so high up our ranking of all the top Sonic games, and I think I’m going to play it this weekend because Wow, it’s exactly what I needed after going platinum with Elden Ring. Maybe I like Sonic games? hmmmm
kristin williams – Saturday night should be fun. I’m meeting up with some friends to play Fall Guys for the first time in a long time! Wish me luck on my quest to get more crowns. I’ll probably play more Kirby and the Forgotten Land too. Basically, it’s a lovely video game weekend.
Alex Stadnik – Beating Elden Ring has put me in a strange place. For one thing, I’m finally free to pursue my other media interests now that From’s behemoth is behind me. But on the other, I feel almost paralyzed by what is in front of me. I can only imagine how Frodo felt after returning to the Shire. I’m excited to continue my co-op journey through Tiny Tina as I think it’s well on its way to becoming my favorite Borderlands game since 2. Outside of gaming, I look forward to seeing Everything, Everywhere, All At Once and getting back to my reading of the Ave Maria Project. I’m also mentally preparing for the Timberwolves’ first playoff action in four years next week, so people of Earth, lend me your energy! Come on wolves!
thank you – Hunt: Showdown, Final Fantasy XIII, Crystal Project.
Alex van aken – It’s been a tough week in my personal life, so I’m looking forward to a couple of zen games. I’ll be starting a new game in Stardew Valley (I never did after the summer) or finally taking a look at New Horizon’s Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise DLC. I’ll be decorating a house and listening to relaxing music in whatever game I choose, so I’m happy. Besides, I can never be also relaxed, so I’ll be playing ranked matches in Apex Legends while aiming for Diamond rank this season.
margaret andrews – Starting my weekend with coffee with Brian Shea! I finished Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands this week, but I’m having a lot of fun with the bonus content; there is much more to collect. Continue my tour of meeting the GI folks by playing Fall Guys with Kim and Kristin, and maybe even saying hi to Elise Favis. Any remaining time will be devoted to reading. vampire empire by Jay Kristof (super good, super long!).
Juan Carson – I can’t say if this weekend will be low key or super busy. I’m planning on diving into one of the games Marcus and I are covering in the next season of Video Gameography, but you’ll have to listen to this week’s episode to find out what it’s all about. Elden Ring is still at the top of my order book, and I’m hoping to cut back a bit more this weekend. On Sunday, I’ll meet up with a friend and play some good old fashioned Magic: The Gathering at my local game store (thanks to Lodestone Coffee and Games). We’re both excited to play in-person again and are fine-tuning some rusty Commander decks to do battle with other random cardboard spellcasters. Oh, and I’ve been leveling up a demon hunter in World of Warcraft before bed every night this week, so that’s probably going to happen too.
Now it’s your turn, Noticiasvideojuegos.com Universe (I’ve been watching too much WWE this week). What are you doing in this good weekend? Head over to the comments section and tell us all about the games you’re playing, the movies and shows you’re watching, and other activities you’ll be doing in the days ahead. We hope it’s a great weekend for all of you!
