Over at AnimeVoice, Gia Manry has found the opening sequence to the MMORPG version of the Tower of Druaga. It looks good but comes from the ill-fated Gonzo animation studio which is all but lost to us know. Gia dares to speculate that Gonzo might be getting cash for this effort. Hmm. Let’s be optimistic!

Doctor Who no longer; Christopher Eccleston is John Lennon
If you hit Google for [Christopher Eccleston] today you’ll get a wash of Doctor Who results. He is most well known for his role as the 9th Doctor. This is despite his highly praised role in geek hit Heroes. Let’s not mention neither Cobra Commander nor The Dark is Rising. In a new biopic for […]
Nintendo’s DS TV adverts rated in the top 10 most annoying
A survey by TNS for Adwatch has revealed that Nintendo’s TV ad series for the DS is considered to be one of the most annoying on British TV. 25% of all respondents found the series produced by an agency called Karmarama to be irritating. One of the TV slots featured Star Trek actor and British […]
Matt Smith, as the Doctor, on the cover of Doctor Who magazine
The latest edition of the Doctor Who magazine is out in the UK today. Guess who’s on the front cover? That’s right. Matt Smith. We can see the prominent bow-tie again and I suspect if BBC’s marcoms people keep on signing off on these images it’s the bow-tie that’ll become the trademark 11th Doctor feature. […]
Monsuno monsters are coming
The US’s third largest toy producer Jakks has signed a deal with the Japanese animation giant Dentsu to create an anime TV show based around monsters. It’ll be called Monsuno. It’s a simple plan. Make the show. Sell the toys. It’s a formula that’s worked very well in the past but this is Jakks’ first […]
BBC’s “Doctor Who Greatest Moments” snubs original Doctors
This might be an over reaction. It might be – but it really rubs me the wrong way. After The End of Time part 2 had played on UK TV the BBC ran a series of follow up shows including Doctor Who confidential. One of these shows was “Doctor Who Greatest Moments”. Great! I thought. […]
SyFy coming to the UK
Last year the SciFi channel in the US became the SyFy channel. The fans weren’t that happy but the channel wanted to broaden the group of people it appealed too. Many fans grumbled; one my favourites is this Open Letter to SyFy from marketing guru Roger Wehbe at the Tribble Agency. In it Wehbe complains […]
Cause for concern? BBC backs Doctor Who
Here in the UK whenever there’s a political storm the Member of Parliament knows they’re in trouble whenever the Prime Minister is forced to publically back them. It usually means the tide has turned against the errant politician and very soon they’ll be forced to step down. Hopefully there’s no parallel here but the BBC […]
Matt Smith in action as the 11th Doctor: Video
There are already YouTube uploads of the BBC trailer/sneak of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor. What do we see? We see spoilers. We see weeping angels, daleks, and we even see the Doctor with a gun. We hear the Doctor should “Geronimo!” for the second time. The trailer is perhaps a little more fast […]
Did David Tennant quit Doctor Who? Or was he pushed?
David Tennant announced that he was leaving Doctor Who in October 2008. He was quoted as saying; “I don’t ever want it to feel like a job, so I want to move on when it still feels exciting and fresh.” BBC has just aired The End of Time part 2 which features the end of […]
