Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 9-10)

How about some Metal Slug Tactics on Game Pass?

Welcome to the weekend! We’ve got a few new Xbox Game Pass titles for you to check out over the next couple of days, along with a bunch of Free Play Days additions and a whole heap of discounts that are live on the Xbox Store.

Here’s what we’re playing this weekend:

Fraser Gilbert, Editor
I haven’t really played much Xbox over the past couple of weeks for various reasons (I was on holiday for one of them), so there’s a lot for me to catch up on. I still haven’t really tried much Black Ops 6 yet, so that’s definitely on the cards, and I’m really eager to check out Metal Slug Tactics – especially now it’s on Xbox Game Pass!

I’m also hoping to play some Phasmophobia – the intent was to review that one, but we got swamped with the likes of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Sonic X Shadow Generations in late October. Maybe a late review is in order?

Have a good weekend, folks.

Craig Reid, Video Producer
I won’t lie—this weekend is most likely going to be spent tucked up in the comfiest corner of my sofa, Switch OLED in hand, to play Mario & Luigi: Brothership. I’ve been waiting a long time for this one! But I also want to find some time to dip back into Fallout 76 on the Xbox. It’s a pretty fun game nowadays, with all its updates and such, so I’m keen to see what’s new.

Oh, and I’ll probably find some time to run packages to Geoff Keighley in Death Stranding. I played it recently on the Xbox Series S, and honestly, it looks really good—I was properly surprised.

So, that’s about it for my gaming plans. What are yours?

Happy gaming, folks!
