\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

It is far too hot and humid here in the UK right now, so we are closing the blinds and sitting in front of a fan turned up to max as we play video games this weekend. This is what’s entertaining us in between ice cream and BBQs.<\/p>\n

The 16th June was the 11-year anniversary of my favourite E3 conference, Sony’s ‘PlayStation E3 Experience – 2015 Press Conference’, so it’s my tradition to play a standout game from the show. Now, 11 years later I plan to replay the opening of Batman: Arkham Knight<\/a>, which was originally shown off at this iconic event.<\/p>\n

Following on from my Opinion piece<\/a> earlier in the week, I’m still playing Immortals of Aveum<\/a>. I quite like it! This is what’s keeping me busy until Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced<\/a> rolls around.<\/p>\n

Stephen Tailby<\/p>\n

I’ve found myself playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night<\/a> (via the Requiem<\/a> collection). It’s one of those all-time classics that just totally passed me by, and I’ve always wanted to check out this series. I’ll continue exploring the castle with Alucard this weekend.<\/p>\n

That’s what we’re playing this weekend, but how about you?
