So the winter is setting in (I know, I know, not for you lucky southern hemisphere folk, don’t make us jealous please!) and instead of going outside where the cold lives, why not stay in and cuddle up in front of the TV with your favourite artists? Good idea, eh?

So, off you go and David Guetta comfy chair and SubFocus on what VidZone has to offer for you this week so you know what to go and Coldplay. It is your Destiny’s Child.

If you didn’t get a few clues of what we have in store this week from that last sentence… well, you really can’t have been paying any attention. Read on to see if Candice can hold your gaze for long enough to inform you of every exciting detail of this week’s update.

Artist Of The Week – Coldplay

We’re all proud geeks here at VidZone but if you particularly love your comic books then check out this week’s Artist Of The Week spot! We’ve chosen alternative superstars, Coldplay as they have recently unveiled the cool and colourful animated video for Hurts Like Heaven – the fifth and final single to be taken from their worldwide Number One album, Mylo Xyloto.

The video shows the graffiti gang’s doomed rebellion against Major Minus and his oppressive regime, and it’s the prequel to the story of Mylo Xyloto which will be told via a six-part comic series from February 2013! Until then check out the video along with all of Coldplay’s previous hits including recent hits ‘Paradise’ and ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’.

Check out below for all the highlights of the next couple of weeks.

Like a lot of folks, I first saw the tech demo for The Unfinished Swan when it made the rounds online in 2008. The idea stuck in the back of my head but it wasn’t until later when Giant Sparrow put up a job posting that I decided: I had to make that game.

I had just graduated from college without much professional experience, so I did what I do best and made a game for them. You can check it out here if you’d like. The video cuts off because the end of the game says “Call me” and has my phone number on it. It got the attention of the Giant Sparrow team, and I ended up flying out to Los Angeles to work on the game.

Hello all, it’s time once more for me to highlight some of the most exciting happenings over on the Official PlayStation Forums.

Looking forward to the forthcoming release of Killzone Trilogy? Well read on. Every Saturday morning when the birds start singing and the postman jams our breakables through the letterbox, you now have the opportunity to frag many, many enemies in Killzone.

Killzone AM is a Saturday morning event for like minded fans to get together and hopefully have some fun breaking into bases, stealing propaganda and generally making a mess of either the Helghast or ISA, whichever takes your fancy.

Everyone’s invited! All mode suggestions are welcome, whether it’s a Body Count only morning or a full-blown, blood-spewed war… on the smallest map. A whole cocktail of modes! It doesn’t matter if you’re the worst player in the world or the best, there will always be someone to kill, and practice always makes perfect.

Want to take part? Of course you do, all the information you require to join the fun can be found here!
