What are we all playing this weekend?

This weekend, the gaming community has a diverse lineup of activities to keep them engaged. Jeremy will be supporting his wife at a local creator's market, showcasing her crafts while finding time to relax with top-down map explorations in Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen. Ollie, on the other hand, is enjoying the immersive gameplay of Wardogs, albeit facing some PC issues that may hinder his gaming experience.

James has a few Control Resonant tasks to complete, boosted by Dylan's improved skills. He is also preparing for the upcoming spooky boss fight update in Darktide, set to release on the 29th. Julian is away this weekend, celebrating his partner's brother's birthday with a Chinese dinner and a watch party for True Lies. He hopes to dive into Ace Combat 8 upon his return on Sunday.
