Batman Live’s Batmobile
The Batmobile was revealed to a select team of geek journalists today. Geek Native wasn’t invited! No. The only conclusion this blogger can make is that the invite was lost in the post and that DC and the Batman Live team will try very hard to make up for the disappointment in some goodiebag shaped […]

Anno Dracula review
I first read Anno Dracula years ago. I can’t remember when; it feels like many life-times ago, it may have been back in the 15th century or perhaps around 1992 when the book first came out.

There were some big name TV stars… voices. […]
Dark Horse announce Kult mini-series
This is good stuff. Kult is a cult RPG among gamers. It’s dark, it’s intelligent and it’s unusual. Dark Horse often manage to prove to me they have their finger on the counter-culture buzz but this news surprises me. They’ve announced a Kult mini-series of comics. Featured is parole officer Thomas Zenk – one of […]
