The Weekend Playlist, 26th January 2013

Good morning all. It’s time once again for you to let us know what media you’re devouring this weekend, and vice versa. Our guest this week is Pawel Lekki from EXOR Studios, which released the brilliantly over-the-top Zombie Driver HD on PlayStation 3 this week. See his post from earlier this week for a closer look.

Bayonetta

Jawad Ashraf, PlayStation Store Content Coordinator

What was the last video game you played?
Bayonetta! It’s been so long since I last played it that I actually forgot how to play! Planning to get through a few missions or so to familiarise myself with the game all over again. Love the game though so it’ll be worth it.
What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
Tiger and Bunny – another anime as recommended by some friends. The concept of heroes on a live TV show sounds pretty good! No-one told me it had heroes in it!
What was the best book or article you read this week?
Sadly I haven’t read anything that’s totally struck me this week, what with finishing up Persona 4 Golden. Anything I did read ended up being sad news :(
What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
Nothing in particular for me this week. I’m all in a Bayonetta trance at the moment so maybe I’ll just listen to ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ on repeat.

Fred Dutton, SCEE Blog Manager

What was the last video game you played?
Killzone: Mercenary ;)
What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
So, I’ve made it to season three of The Walking Dead and you lot were right – it’s a massive improvement. I was punching the air when a certain someone was finally killed off in episode four!
What was the best book or article you read this week?
Edge magazine’s run-down of the top 50 game studios in the world. I can’t say I agreed with all their picks, but that’s the point of these lists, right?
What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
Darn, I hate this question. It just makes me sound old. The best thing I heard this week was a Bob Dylan rarities compilation :(

Vanquish

Chris Howe, PS Store and Plus Content Manager

What was the last video game you played?
I’m slowly working my way through Vanquish at the moment, but I am looking forward to testing out the Dead Space 3 demo over the weekend.
What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
No movies so far this week but I did watch a few episodes of Family Guy last night which never fail to make me laugh!
What was the best book or article you read this week?
Just a small article on BioShock Infinite and the Industrial Revolution DLC planned. Bring on March – exciting times!
What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
I’ve got a bit of Radio 1’s Live Lounge on the pod today, easing my way into the weekend

worms revolution

Pawel Lekki, Co-Founder, EXOR Studios

What was the last video game you played?
It would be Mortal Kombat with three other guys (2 vs 2) and Worms Revolution, also with four players. We started just after work and finished at around four o’clock in the morning :) I definitely recommend those two! Obviously I also played Zombie Driver. I can’t let other people beat my high scores on the global rankings so easily :)
What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
The Hobbit. You can really feel those 48fps. I wasn’t convinced at first if it’s for the better. Basically, things look ‘more real’ and ‘less epic’, which I’m not sure is good for this kind of movie.
What was the best book or article you read this week?
I read mostly Gamasutra. There was a good article about making games at Insomniac and some old stuff that I just found time to read – post mortems on Trine and Renegade Ops.
What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
Game soundtracks. Super Meat Boy, Journey – pure awesomeness!
