Beware March 15th and the Ides of March. This is the day made infamous by Julias Caesar an his ex-best friends like Marcus Brutus. In this video Paxton Fettel and Point Man discuss the past. The scary, scary past. You’ll see this is an 18 rated video (though I’d say it’s entirely SFW – Warner […]

Portal 2: Cave Johnson versus Mantis Men army
In 1953 Cave Johnson founded Aperture Science in order to make shower curtains for the American military. After becoming less than sane due a serious dose of mercury poisoning in 1978 he changed direction… the result being man sized quantum tunnels through space (ideal for stopping water spilling out of the shower). Turns out – […]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon game trailer
I can only hope Transformers 3 turns out to be a good movie. My levels of hope for this are not high. I’m not sure either the filmhouse or the directors involved understand what the fans want. The trailer for the game looks better! Why? It seems like a far more straight forward proposition. That’s […]
DC Universe: Tech Mentor storyline trailer
There’s no doubt we’ve seen some fantastic cinematic trailers from DC Universe already. Even the gameplay trailer that featured the usual style of chaostic mass combat MMOs are associated with is worth a watch. Now we’ve a new kind of trailer: the documentary style walkthrough. This video looks at how DC Universe begins if you […]
Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer
This is a rather straight forward but also rather brilliant trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. It’s a bit of a mass catch up that shows scenes and landscapes we’re all familiar with, introduces the Sith, the war and then characters will be familiar with. Despite these introductions this The Old Republic trailer doesn’t […]
NED: The New Era of Fantasy trailer
Joymax’s latest MMORPG was popular at the 2011 Game Developer’s Conference. The game makes the point of not just including monsters to threaten you but enviormental hazards (like this one?) as well. What we have here is the teaser trailer. I very much doubt this is gameplay. The first question, though, is surely – what […]
The Secret World MMO trailer
The Secret World looks like it’s trying hard to cast away the shackles of traditional MMO design. Good luck to them. It’s been put together the people behind Age of Conan and Anarchy Online and if you’re wondering about those acents – teams in Oslo and Beijing. The game is inspired by mythology and some […]
Dark Harvest: The Legacy of Frankenstein review
I’ll admit to something of a rollercoaster of expectations for Dark Harvest. Here’s how it goes; firstly the Twitter account EmbraAgain follows both Geek Native and my personal account, I’m in a train speeding towards London at the time, so my curiosity is restricted by the dodgy mobile internet access I have. RPG author! Looking […]
Catherine trailer: Sexy or scary?
Catherine is a controversial game. I think it’s officially described as a “relationship horror” – it just so happens to have lots of overt sexual imagery. At one point, Atlus USA was quoted saying; “Catherine is a Japan-only game and there are no plans for a NA release at this time. Sorry about that!” but […]
