With “Review Season” kicking in (it’s a term we games media people use during the games release blitzkrieg that happens during October to December), and with all of the 2015’s games release date locked, we know just what games we’ll be playing until the end of the year.
Having said that, the staff shares their holiday gaming plans for the rest of the year in this latest Now Loading entry. Are we going to play the latest games? Clear out our backlog? Read on and find out.
What games will you be playing from now until the end of 2015? Will you be able to resist the allure of new games to clear your backlog? As always, share your thoughts in the comments section below.
Now Loading is a recurring staff-driven feature where PlayStation LifeStyle discusses anything video game-related under the sun (yes, even non-Sony platforms).

I'm still playing Dragon Quest Heroes (and having a blast!) now and I think I'll be able to finish it in time for Black Ops 3's release!
I'll dive straight into multiplayer and then it's going to be Star Wars Battlefront . That's going to be perfect to get my hyped (as if I needed it) for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December.
I might play and try to finish all three games in the Uncharted collection, but I doubt it.
I might also give Fallout 4 a shot even though I know the chances of me finishing it is very low. Oh, and if I'm feeling it, I might also give Rainbow Six Siege a go as well,
But for the most part, it'll be Black Ops 3 and Battlefront for me all throughout 2015!

I won't be playing a lot but I could see myself finishing Dragon Quest Heroes, Uncharted Collection, NHL 16 , then maybe buying Tales of Zestiria , Deadpool , Sword Art Online: Last Song, and of course Star Wars Battlefront.

To Finish Off:
Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel
Yakuza: Ishin
Mushroom 11
To Clear From Backlog:
Alpha Protocol
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
To Replay Maybe:
Child of Light
Final Fantasy IX

I still need to finish off Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection , along with Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. Then I'll turn my attention to Halo 5, Black Ops 3 , Star Wars Battlefront , and Fallout 4 . I really want to spend a lot of time exploring the new Wasteland!

At the moment I have Star Wars Battlefront and Black Ops 3 pre-ordered, looking forward to sinking some time into the former's multiplayer and the latter's campaign. I'm happy to hold off on both Need for Speed and Fallout 4 until the turn of the year, instead casting an eye over my ever-growing pile of shame to catch up on Until Dawn and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection .

There's never enough time to play everything I'd like to but this holiday I'm going to make a valiant attempt. Fallout 4 is at the top of my list. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection , SOMA and Binary Domain are on the docket in addition to that. Freedom Wars could get a look but that's a big time sink too.

Just Cause 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider are the two big titles that haven't launched yet. I'll definitely be checking out those titles sometime, but probably not right when they release. Just too busy this time of year.

With all of my commitments, I sadly won't be able to spare time for games like Fallout . I don't know about other people, but if I know I can't invest time into a game that deserves it, I try not to get involved as it kills the experience.
However, I still need my fix so I'll be focusing on beating some quicker games. I'm currently playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate . Then, I plan on picking up Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 . And finally, Just Cause 3 . I may pick up other smaller games in between and/or beat my PS3 backlog (just one or two games left), time permitting.
