Surreal “Diamonds” Minecraft trailer
This is an user created trailer-meets-ad for Minecraft. If you’re that way inclined you may have noticed that “Deep Cover” by Dr. Dre (featuring the Snoop Dogg) as well as “The Forecast” by NERO feature in this little short. The video was directed by Martin Waltz (isn’t that a good name) and uploaded by TKRXT […]
Game of Thrones – Genesis screen shots
>There will be a computer game of George R. R. Martin‘s famously good “A Game of Thrones“. It’ll be be released for the PC in the summer of this year – so should ride the wave of interest the TV production should generate.

Best Valentine’s Day card? – Fallout inspired
The internet is full of geeky Valentine’s Day cards and gestures. Here at Geek Native we might have posted a song or two. Today Reddit helped surface this rather fetching Valentine’s Day 3D Fallout papercraft. In a seperate but equally popular there’s this fetching Valentine’s Day story. We were staying at a hotel this weekend […]
Crysis 2 story trailer
I did not play Crysis but I’ve heard a lot about it. I heard two things; it destroys your machine and if you survive that then it is a lot of fun. The game seems to be a bit of a cross between Mass Effect and Borderlands in style. Let me justify that; there’s a […]
Darkspore beta trailer
Darkspore is nearly the sequel to Spore. It’s a little different. For a start, EA are referring to it as a “Sci-Fi Action RPG”. Maxis Studio are still involved. In Darkspore the story starts with the player being woken up by Helix, a female AI, after eons of cryogenic sleep. The player is one of […]
Mass Effect Valentine’s Day
I can’t credit the author behind this geek brilliance. This picture is doing the rounds on Facebook and a two minute Google hunt turned up nothing so – naturally – gave up. If you know the artist – please share with us! If you don’t get the joke (why not?) then this is a Valentine’s […]
Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters game trailer
Warner and DC have released today the first “Green Latern: Rise of the Manhunters” video game trailer. It’s been a busy day for trailers but this one is sure to stand out. The Green Latern video game is uber mega multi-platform. It’s out for the Xbox, PS3, Wii and the DS as well. I’m never […]
Rift trailer: Cry Havoc
Trion Worlds have released another video preview of their forthcoming Rift MMORPG. This video is very different from their cinematic trailer that put the focus on the dangers of the Rifts , the Guaridans and Defiants. Instead, the Cry Havoc video – some of it looks like it’s sped up – shows off the multi-player […]
Will the Bulletstorm Cliffy B trailer make your head explode?
There’s been nothing but drama about EA’s Bulletstorm. We’ve had Americans says it encourages rape and Germans censor the game. Now we’ve got a short new trailer. Things blow up. I wonder whether the “Cliffy B” trailer has been designed with TV in mind. It’s short and punchy enough. I’m still wondering whether EA will […]
