Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 651
Push Square’s recurring ‘What Are You Playing This Weekend?’ column returns with Issue 651, featuring editorial staff discussing their gaming selections for the week. Staff writer Jamie O’Neill highlights his current gaming focus on portable PS1 titles emulated on a PlayStation Vita, specifically emphasizing his return to the 1997 action-RPG classic Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. This references a previous edition of the column (Issue 639) where another staff member had similarly highlighted the same beloved game. The columnist notes the week has brought a relatively slower pace in gaming industry news compared to recent weeks, describing a steadier news cycle with numerous game releases but fewer major headline-generating developments. The column continues its tradition of providing a casual, conversational snapshot of what gaming journalists are personally playing during their downtime, offering readers insight into staff preferences and potentially undiscovered or classic titles worth revisiting. The series serves as a regular feature providing a lighter counterpoint to hard news coverage, emphasizing gaming culture and personal recommendations.
