Distant Planet is an animation by Ben Hibon. It was directed by Zack Snyder. In fact, this short animation is actually a long trailer for Sucker Punch. Heck. Perhaps it’s a new form of media – neither a short film but not quite a trailer either. I’m beginning to think that one of the wonderful […]

The First Templar
The First Templar reminds me of a cross between Dungeon Siege and Assassin’s Creed. The trailer certainly suggests a combat centric romp! I like the fact there is the suggestion of history in the game. Oh, I suspect it’s nothing more than a suggestion but it’s enough to make the game stand out. What do […]
Dancing Android of doom!
I’ve seen comments suggesting that people are scared of this dancing Android. The YouTube is titled “Android on crack”. Dear me. I actually thought the suit might have had a mechanic core for the first few seconds of the video. Why? The footsteps were so quick and accurate. It’s clearly a person inside and I […]
Keyboard jacket is mega geeky cool!
I’ve worn some jackets to business meetings that might have been described as a little quirky. If I was braver then I’d wear even bolder jackets. I’m not sure I’d go as far as wearing this keyboard jacket. What do you think? Would you? Even though it’s mega geeky cool? Via Make Use Of.
BBC surrenders Doctor Who spin-off franchise to Starz
I’m pleased that Starz picked up Torchwood. I watched the show simply because it was the Doctor Who spin-off franchise. I watched Children of Earth because it was horrible, good and horribly good. Torchwood, as the BBC had it, was doomed by the time Children of Earth had finished though. It’s certainly true that the […]
WTF: Spider-Man #666 cover art
The cover to the Amazing Spider-Man issue #666 is an odd one. Spider-Statue-of-Liberty anyone? Issue #666 is the prelude to a new ‘event’ from Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos. The cover is by Mike Del Mundo. Here’s what Marvel Senior Editor Stephen Wacker said in a recent blog post; “Back when Slott launched Spider-Man into the […]
Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime launch trailer
This is short, simple but effective. Most of all this trailer for Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime makes the game look fun. Actually, it reminds me of Gauntlet. We’ve four players, running around, throwing a stream of weapons and hordes of incoming ghosts, ghouls and the occassional something-more-power-and-scary. Ray Parker Jr‘s soundtrack helps incredibly as well. […]
Advertising Standards Authority rules that “replay mode” is not “actual gameplay footage”
The United Kingdom’s Advertising Standards Authority received complaints over Sony’s TV ad for GT5. The ad featured two men on a sofa about the play the game before cutting to screens from the game showing cars on the tracks and from different angles. Throughout this scene the on-screen text read “Actual gameplay footage”. This triggered […]
Real Steel: Robot Boxing
DreamWorks has a clever viral ad for Shaun Levy’s movie about robot boxing. The Real Steel site was originally locked down with visitors needing to work out access codes in order to navigate it. It now seems to be open to all. The movie features Hugh Jackman as washed-up fighter Charlie Kenton who lost his […]
Heart stopping Cthulhu birthday cake of chaotic joy!
This Cthulhu take is truely impressive. Not only is it visually stunning, it’s insane (always a plus for Cthulhu) and I’m sure it’s work of cake engineering genius. You really have to wonder whether this was a request or someone’s idea for the perfect birthday surprise! How are your sanity points doing? Via Neatorama.
