April 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you ever wanted your very own treasure chest? One that was filled with shiny shiny loot! Sorry. Can’t help. What I can do is direct your attention to this Zelda treasure chest that comes complete with its very own Zelda sounds.

Fan made TRON Light Cycle board game and models

April 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What did you think of the new Light Cycles in Tron: Legacy? Was it wrong to see them with curved light lines? Certainly the classic, corner-now-or-die, Light Cycles are famous and truly Tron. Little wonder that geek natives around the world fancy having access to a Light Cycle game. Step forward KingTemp, smoked acrylic, some […]

Not for Ewok lovers

April 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This picture is not for Ewok lovers. I’m not even sure it’s for fans of Darth – what tune could he be singing? Could it be the Imperial March? Don’t those Ewoks look awfully Wicket Wystri Warrick? Could there have been two of them? Is Wicket the last surviving triplet? Oh my! I suspect this […]

Projection mapping gets even better!

April 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Yeah; this is an advert. Yeah; this is an other example of 3D projection mapping. Trust me – it’s worth it. This is projection mapping with a twist and the next two minutes will fly by. I strongly suspect you’ll be impressed. Somewhere in Hyundai’s marketing team there someone is smiling smuggly. They have every […]

Fans vote on Cheryl Cole to be the first female Doctor

April 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Let’s be clear about this – when SFX magazine ran a poll to ask fans which actress should be the next Doctor in Doctor Who they had to brush the 1999 Comic Relief short with Joanna Lumley playing the Doctor aside. Let’s also be clear about Cheryl Cole and the vote. Doctor Who fans did […]

Bullet time with 24 digital cameras

April 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I still think the Matrix’s bullet time sequences are pretty cool. I know it’s old hat these days but that doesn’t stop me enoying it. If you have 24 digital cameras and a clever timing system then you can produce your own funky bullet time video. That’s exactly what Claudio Giambusso, Alice Stefani and Ivan […]

A record year for London’s Comic Con?

April 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The London Comic Con, which is all Green Lantern this year, looks like it’s going to be busy. MCM Expo, who organise and run the eent, have released the advance ticket sales data and it shows that 15,000 tickets have been bought in advanced. That’s the highest ever. Demand is expected to hit 60, 000 […]

Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer

April 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

April 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

4 minutes of the Green Lantern movie

April 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

This is too long to be a mere Green Lantern trailer. This video has been put together from a far wider and longer series of clips that aired at WonderCon this weekend. There’s not been much buzz about the Green Lantern movie – despite it being an expensive one – I’d say releases like this […]
