Samus Aran is the sexy hero from Metroid – although some of us only realised how sexy she was during Super Smash Bros when she stripped off her gravity suit to continue the fight. The godlike cosplay engineers at Pixel Ninja have constructed a most remarkable Samus Aran costume for a fantastic Metroid cosplay. The […]

Interactive Puppet Kinect Act
The Kinect may not appeal to everyone but a sign that it’s here to stay is how quickly so many people are doing cool things with it. These cool things are often a result of hacking. To begin with Microsoft wasn’t that happy about the hacking. The good news is that they now say they’re […]
Getting sweaty with Melinda Messenger
It’s a safe bet to assume that I’m not a sports head (or spead, as I call them). However, sports games have been good to the computer game industry – they’ve lured in speads, cashed their money and helped gaming become mainstream. It’s also a set bet that EA will be pushing EA Sports Active […]
Use your Kinect for 3D films
I’ve seen some Microsoft provided demos of the Kinect’s quasi-3D abilities and they’re all pretty cool. I think video might be just as cool. It’s simple but it’s also very effective. It also runs off hacked Kinect drivers and so the h4xx0r5 will be happy. What do you think? Pretty cool? The Kinect could also […]
Kinect through night vision – the video
You might well have heard the Kinect looks kinda cool through night vision. I’ve stumbled across this HD video showing just what happens. I’m not an expert but it does seem to me as if the Kinect bathes the room with dots and then detects the motion through them. I’ve seen some demos from Rare […]
Fable III: Revolution
As computer games are as big as movies these days – if not bigger – they get professional agency treatment on the trailers. This trailer for Fable III is called Revolution. It’s a slo-mo montage of Fable III inspired images. Heck. They might even be scenes from the cut scenes. We’ll have to wait and […]
LEGO Wii Remote
Fancy building your own Wii remote? At the very least; do you fancy being able to decorate your own Wii remote? What if I said “Lego”? Interested now? There we have it – after years of increasingly clever Lego computer games (the joys of Lego Star Wars) we now have a $40 LEGO branded Wii […]
Hasbro brings NERF guns to Splinter Cell: Conviction
When I’m not being my geeky self here on Geek Native I get to my geeky self in a digital marketing company. Sometimes I get to hear about pretty cool digital marketing campaigns. This is such an example; Hasbro has teamed up with Xbox 360 to run an in-game treasure hunt across Splinter Cell: Conviction, […]
Undead Nightmare: Zombies in Red Dead Redemption
Zombies continue their march to rule the computer game world. Rockstar games and Rockstar San Diego have prepared a DLC extension for Red Dead Redemption called “Undead Nightmare”. Yup. It’s zombies. The Undead Nightmare trailer went live yesterday. What do you think? Are you a Red Dead Redemption player? Do you think zombies will be […]
Chocobos escape Horsebird fate as Final Fantasy XIV begins to smell Chinese
Square Enix have a bit of a PR issue on their hands with Final Fantasy XIV. Suspicions that the game was written for the Chinese market came to the fore with Chocobos being re-named “Horsebirds”. Chinese characters had been popping up in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XIV. Typically, Square would be mixing English […]
