Many of you may not feel like switching on your PS5 this weekend \u2013 that\u2019s understandable \u2013 but remember a good gaming session always has the power to make you feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Bayne<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still slowly chipping away at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps3\/bioshock_2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BioShock 2<\/a>, but I may also check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/empulse\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Empulse<\/a> this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Graham Banas<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a few bigger games that I&#8217;ve been waiting to start and this weekend might be the time.
