The Weekend Playlist, 9th February

The Weekend Playlist

Good morning all. Another Saturday, another Playlist. Our guest this week is Daniel Morse from Just Add Water, the team behind the excellent Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD, which, as revealed earlier this week, has just spent its second month astride the PS Vita digital sales chart. Take a look at his picks, then let us know what you’re enjoying this weekend!

Super Crate Box on PS Mobile

Fred Dutton, SCEE Blog Manager

What was the last video game you played?
Like Chris says, it’s been a busy week here at SCEE, so my PS3 is a little dusty. I’ve got DmC and Ni No Kuni waiting for me this weekend though, and I’ve been busting Super Crate Box high scores on the daily commute.

What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
Late to the party, but Mrs D and I have discovered House. I’m impressed how every single episode is essentially completely identical, yet still heaps of fun. Oh, and I caught Zero Dark Thirty, which was phenomenal. Tough Oscar race this year!

What was the best book or article you read this week?
A great piece in The Guardian looking back at the legacy of Groundhog Day – one of my favourite comedies.

What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
I re-discovered Foo Fighters‘ ‘The Colour and the Shape’ while clearing out some cupboards this week. It stands up pretty well! Favourite track: Up In Arms.

jawad ni no kuni

Jawad Ashraf, PlayStation Store Content Coordinator

What was the last video game you played?
A few! Some I won’t talk about ;) but mostly Ni No Kuni. I’m 30 hours in and I’m now at a point where I can fly around the world. Woo!

What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
What with Ni No Kuni pretty much taking most of my time this week, I’m surprised I managed to squeeze in an episode of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Really enjoy the pace of the show – very little unnecessary staring contests typical of anime. Joseph is also a pretty rad character.

What was the best book or article you read this week?
I’m sure everyone knows what I was doing instead of reading. Ah, but I suppose the Wizard Companion book within Ni No Kuni (because why would I open my Wizard Edition?!) might count as the best book of sorts!

What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
Not a whole lot – I’ll be spending time with my family and friends, eating good food and – without sounding like a broken record – squeezing in some Ni No Kuni. One would think I had no family or friends with all the Ni No Kuni talk, no?

Sleeping Dogs - PS Plus Update

Chris Howe, PS Store and Plus Content Manager

What was the last video game you played?
I’ve had a very busy week so not much time for any gaming – but I’m hoping to complete Far Cry 3 over the weekend and then move onto Sleeping Dogs.

What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
I saw Lincoln last Friday night which was good. The first 30 minutes were a little slow but after that, excellent!

What was the best book or article you read this week?
An interesting article on The Walking Dead: Survival Instincts on Eurogamer. I’m a big fan of the series!

What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
I’ve been rocking out to some Stones this week – can’t beat the classics!

Daniel Morse, Community & PR Manager, Just Add Water

What was the last video game you played?
I’m playing through GTA4 during lunch breaks at work, and I’ve still got my original character going in Skyrim. He’s a level 50 Technoviking. There’s so much to do in the game!

What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
BBC’s Africa. The Attenborough series are just amazing. Makes you feel so small, knowing you’ll probably never see all these amazing places! The wife and I are also working our way through The Big Bang Theory at the moment.

What was the best book or article you read this week?
You can fight alongside a drunken Dovahbear in Skyrim now. Serana is still a better follower though :)

What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
I’ll probably find a few new stompy techno tracks to buy on Adam Beyer’s podcast that I can mix on my wheels of steel over the weekend…
