Aman - Reviewer: This weekend I’m planning on playing a few games. My comfort games are on my radar: Destiny 2, Madden NFL 24 (I’m keeping to previous generation because I miss seeing Bobby Wagner in a Seahawks jersey), and NBA 2k25. I may delve a bit into Final Fantasy XIV if I get a second and finally finish my Stormblood playthrough (I am still a sprout). I am also super excited to play a little bit more of Splatterbot and hope to have my review out soon.

Jake - Reviewer: I have been sucked into the world of Arrakis with Dune Awakening it scratches and itch I have been having for an open world survival game. Other then that I still have my steam deck game with Hollow Knight I have been very much enjoying. Then since it's the weekend I am sure some friends and I will be playing some sort of multiplayer games like PEAK.

Roger Reichardt - Co-Host/Reviewer: I can finally say what I've been playing (and reviewing). I am deep into Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles and oh my goodness, is it amazing! I'm playing it on the Nintendo Switch 2. If you are a fan of the original, this remake is so good, with the game being fully voice- acted. I don't know how they put so much personality into those sprites, but they did! Stay tuned for my review!

Stephanie - Reviewer: On the 26th of this month a wonderful little game I've been following since the beginning, released a demo! This most adorable little game is called Sledding Game. And I plan on dragging a few of the Gamerheads Crew with me down the slopes. I can't wait to see what this game has for us! It's been great watching this single dev create this game from the ground up. I encourage everyone to give it a try! It's humble, adorable graphics, and has proximity chat! Beyond that, Minecraft is probably on my queue as well. It was quite the long week at work and it'll be nice to sit down and enjoy some comfy gaming this weekend!

Trina - News Coordinator/Reviewer: This weekend I plan on playing some Split Fiction with Jake! I started it and never got to finish it so I convinced Jake to play with me. Other than that, I most likely will be playing some FFXIV or finding a single player game to sink into. Happy gaming this weekend!

Zeb - Reviewer: With Ghosts of Yotei coming out next weekend, I'm going to put all my energy into finishing Silksong. The game is very challenging for a newcomer like me, to the metroidvania style. If and when I get to frustrated with parts I plan to take a nice breather in Dune Awakening. The game has been so fun surviving on the barren moon of Arrakis. I've only almost been eaten by a sandworm a few times and it's always terrifying. I may also try to sneak a few runs of Hades 2 this weekend. I've been holding off on playing more since the game was first released in early access and have been very excited to play 1.0!
