Welcome to the weekend! It hasn't been the busiest week for Xbox Game Pass additions or Free Play Days titles, but there's still plenty to get stuck into over the next few days - and don't forget the massive Xbox Black Friday Game Sale ends on December 3rd, so take advantage of those discounts while you can!

I think I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time with NBA 2K21 Next Generation this weekend. I'm not the biggest basketball fan, and the massive multiplayer world of 'The City' doesn't interest me that much (impressive as it is), but I'm just having a blast working my way through the career on Xbox Series X.
The other game that catches my eye this weekend is Halo: The Master Chief Collection. I'm fortunate enough to have a TV with HDMI 2.1 capabilities, and playing Halo at 4K, 120FPS is ultra smooth and highly enjoyable, so I'd like to spend a bit of time running through some of the old campaigns again.
Have a good weekend, folks!

It’s going to be another weekend on Yakuza: Like A Dragon for me. Playing it every night over the past week has been a comfort blanket and the virtual tourism within a small slice of Japan has been the reprieve desperately needed throughout the dark nights. I can’t wait to continue my adventure!
On the side, I will probably dive into some Dirt 5 to try and wrap that up before Dragon Quest XI drops next Friday and soaks up the entirety of December for me. Sorry Cyberpunk 2077, you’re going to have to wait.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

Ocarina of Time and Fire Emblem: Awakening.
I'm yet again playing Halo: The Master Chief Collection. I'm tempted to run through all campaigns on Legendary, but the thought of Halo 2 on Legendary is making me break out in a cold sweat.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Making my way towards the Spirit Temple.
Halo: Spartan Assault (Windows Phone) - Going back for better scores in earlier missions.
Cut the Rope: Experiments (Windows Phone) - Forgot how fun this series is.
Dirt 5, NBA Next Gen & and some Switch!
Finished Battlefield 4 SP campaign this week. Great stuff!
This weekend I'm playing Man of Medan (really liking it so far) and my GOTY Tetris Effect- I'm not even joking! Happy gaming guys!
I'm going to try and play some more of RE7. I "quickly" jumped on last night to play some FH4 and 3 hours later decided it was time to go to bed.
Just about finished Shadow of Mordor after hearing the servers were being switched off at the end of the year. Will probably head straight into Shadow of War after that. The quick resume on the Series X has saved me a lot of time opening games over the past few weeks. Plus I have to finish my Luigi run on Super Mario 3D Land to unlock the final level.
I'll be playing Gears 5 multiplayer, with some Halo MCC and 2k21. I've been having a great time going through all the old Halo campaigns again. I didn't go in order, but just finished 3 and now playing 2 anniversary.
I'll also be making some time for Destiny 2. I just started over again, as it's been a while, and it's really a great game. Glad to be back. Have a great weekend everyone.
If I pick up a few Game Pass Ultinate cards today, I will be tempted to continue The Outer Worlds.
If not, I just started my first Borderlands: GOTY character and will continue grinding onward. Game on everyone!!
@Enigk Love those Middle Earth titles!! I just finished my 2nd playthrough of Mordor, and my Xbox copy of Shadow of War will arrive on Tuesday. I own the GOTY and Definitive Editions on both PS4 Pro and Xbox One; love both titles! Enjoy, follow Grave Walker!!
I’ve downloaded the free trial for Star Wars Squadrons so am gonna give that a go before the price goes back up. Also still playing AC Valhalla, Dirt 5, Tesla Force, and Gears Tactics.
Right now I'm playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Great single player campaign so far.. I'm also playing some Black Ops Cold War MP..
@Bloodborne75 I enjoy it but perhaps not quite as much as you. 😂 I am just trying to 100% it before moving on. Just Test of the Wilds achievement to get. It is a fun game that doesn't outstay it's welcome. Satisfying chopping heads off orcs and uruks.
I......have absolutely no idea.
In that awkward problem that shouldnt be a problem.
Not bought a new game this year until now. Now I have a Series X, PS5 and roughly 30 odd games if I count my game pass stuff. Struggling to decide what to play and having the old procrastination haha.
Leaning possibly towards the below
Yakuza Like a Dragon - Series X
Assasins Creed Valhalla - PS5
@Olliemar28
The snipers in Halo 2 on Legendary give me chest pains just thinking about them. 😭😂
I am still playing Mass Effect Andromeda & liking it.
But it’s so long that my backlog just keeps growing & growing.....lol.
I’ve surprisingly been enjoying Gears Tactics but found myself having a few quick sessions of Zumas Revenge
Playing Shotgun Farmers, Ace Combat 7 , Far Cry 4
Decided to have another go at The Touryst
I wish I could have selected two. I'm at level 50 in Dirt 5 and have been discovering Sea of Thieves finally. Met some fellow dads on that game and am having the time of my life playing with them. 20 year old gamer me NEVER would have seen that coming.
AC Valhalla here. I love how scenic the game is. I also am enjoying the story. I'm about 20 hrs in but have been taking my time building the settlement. I'm about at the point where I need to continue with the main story. I now have 3 named enemies hunting me.
