Weekend Game Plans

Ollie Reynolds, Staff Writer, is feeling a bit in limbo with the anticipation of the Switch 2 Direct. To pass the time, he’s diving into Faith: The Unholy Trinity for some retro vibes and may revisit Pokémon HeartGold for a classic adventure to keep him occupied in the coming weeks.

Jim Norman, Staff Writer, is busy at the Pokémon EUIC event but still finds time to enjoy some gaming. With Pokémon X on his trusty 3DS, he’s gearing up for some training sessions and StreetPass adventures. And if time allows, he and his partner are looking to finish up the co-op adventure It Takes Two for a satisfying conclusion.

Gonçalo Lopes, Contributor, has been clearing out games left and right and is ready for new adventures. He’s diving into FANTASIAN Neo Dimension, enjoying the mix of Metal Slug and metroidvania in Guns of Fury, and embracing the unique challenge of X-Out: Resurfaced. With FreeSpace 2’s Inferno mod on the menu, he’s in for a sci-fi gaming treat with Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog as his standout game of the week.

Gavin Lane, Editor, is on a mission to wrap up Metal Gear Solid this weekend and revisit the classic Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. With the game on both Steam and his Staff of Kings Wii disc, he’s ready for a nostalgic adventure with a frosty beverage in hand.
