The Video Games You Should Play This Weekend – March 6

Welcome to Friday! Between responding to all my LinkedIn notifications from folks congratulating me on my one-year anniversary at Game Informer, I have put together our weekly posting of weekend games to play. Of course, I have been with Game Informer since 2011, but it’s a complicated story, and I appreciate all the friendly, if not entirely accurate, well-wishes. Also, the important detail is that it has been a year since our grand return last year, and we’re feeling good!

Which all leads us to this. It's time for the weekend and our usual recommendation of games and things you should check out! But before that, here's a recap of the biggest stories of the week:

• Nirvanna The Band And Wii Shop Update Day Co-Creator Matt Johnson On How Video Games Are His ‘Single Greatest Influence’
• Pokémon Pokopia Review – A Pleasant Paradise
• Scott Pilgrim EX Review – Genre Aptitude
• New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma Discusses Next Gen Console Codenamed Project Helix
• Ubisoft Gives Updates On Assassin's Creed Franchise, Including Hexe And Invictus, Alongside Black Flag Remake Tease
• Highguard Is Shutting Down For Good Next Week
