Dead Rising was one of the original zombie hits. Since Geek Native is a slave to Left 4 Dead (L4D1, at least) we like to look at other possible zombie hits. There’s that. There’s also the fact the official fact sheet from Capcom for Dead Rising talks about awarding players with Prestige Points for photographs […]

Magic the Gathering on the iPhone
When I say “Magic the Gathering on the iPhone” I’m not talking about an M:tG game. Rather, I’m talking about using a deck worth of old iPhones (perhaps some iPod Touch devices in there too) as a substitute for cards. I think these pictures explain the concept better than I can. What do you think? […]
Where can I play Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave?
Looking to play Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave? In a sign that Sony is serious about the Xperia play – you’ll only find it on the PlayStation certified smartphone. Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave includes all the First Wave stuff and a new PvP mode. We’re looking at over 30 hours of gameplay, persistent characters, multiple multiplayer […]
Space Marine: The Universe – Behind the Scenes
I’ve got to admit that Relic and THQ seem to have captured Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 franchise. This behind the scenes trailer is full of developers saying they respect the “IP”. In order words, they respect the intellectual property owned by Games Workshop (a company famous for sending the IP lawyers in). You could argue […]
Everything is True
Everything is True is a rather brave rather from EA and Funcom for The Secret World. It’s brave (not because it runs to the end without snagging) as it spends most of the three minutes showing us nothing. There’s some teaser clips from the game at the start but then we move on to the […]
Games Workshop’s rollercoaster ride
At the start of the year Geek Native blogged Games Workshop’s £2.5m dip. This was a surprise because the company had seemed to turn their finances around. The news also took a somewhat bizarre twist when Mark Wells, Games Workshop CEO, seemed to suggest that problems over Christmas were due to rookie staff. In order […]
Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer
I think the Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer is looking pretty good. There’s certainly an element of grit in this one – does this foreshadow the direction the new wave of Spider-man films will go? It’s not “who watches the watchmen?” but “who saves the hero” and in an time-related action game you don’t need […]
Black Mirror 3 trailer
Black Mirror 3 is (supposed to be) the last of the Black Mirror series. This is a horror puzzle solver that Lace Mamba have the English language rights too. Games that get translated into English tend to be pretty good. Black Mirror 3 centres around Willow Creek’s Black Mirror castle and the surrounding areas. The […]
Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale: Fighter Trailer
Atari have released the latest trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale. This time around we focus on the Fighter. There’s about 50 seconds in the short trailer, just enough to give you a sample of the melee action and the GUI. Looks like they’re trying to keep it as streamlined as possible in order to […]
Dungeon Siege III: Lucas Montbarron introduction
Square Enix have published a video introduction to Lucas Montbarron. It’s an effective way to check out the game play in Dungeon Siege III. There’s just the suggestion that they’ve managed to get the best bits from Dungeon Siege I and from Dungeon Siege II and successfully mash them together. Let’s hope so! What do […]
