Is there a touch of Dune in Mass Effect 3: Against All Odds?

December 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The latest Mass Effect 3 trailer reminds me, in part, of Dune. The situation seems clear. Shepard and team have to get across a battlefield in order to reach a tower. There’s just a whole host of Reaper action between him and his goal. That includes a giant walking machine of laser beam doom. “Against […]

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron trailer

December 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Due out in 2012 from Activision is the latest Transformers game. It’ll be available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 and looks better than the last film. It may even be all robot action – after all, it is called Fall of Cybertron. The game is being put together by High Moon Studios and they […]

Pictures mark the Japanese release of Final Fantasy XIII-2

December 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The very fact we have a Final Fantasy XIII-2 is surprising – some might say; confusing. However, Final Fantasy XIV was a bit of a problem for Square Enix in Japan. It’s important they get the franchise back on track. Final Fantasy XIII-2 is due out at the end of January 2012 in Europe. The […]

G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer

December 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Wait, wait… don’t give up on this blog post yet. I know many geeks thought the first G.I. Joe movie was a disappointment. Actually, many geeks used harsher words than that to describe it but the trailer for Retaliation looks interesting. I think they’ve got the tone right. This feels like 2012 politics. The movie […]

Men in Black 3 trailer

December 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Are you read for another Men in Black? Do you know what: I think I am! It’s been a good franchise so far. I think this trailer gives a way a little of the plot but probably not enough for a spoiler and just enough to act as a teaser. Isn’t that just the right […]

Battleship – from board game to alien invasion

December 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s proving to be popular – but this blogger isn’t sure whether people are watching the Battleship trailer because friends have told them it’s good or because they’re puzzled by the idea. After all; this is a movie about the board game Battleship. What do you think? What about; is Hasbro can coordinate on a […]

Watch a clip from the missing Doctor Who episodes

December 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The BBC does not have all the Doctor Who episodes ever recorded. The series is so old it dates back to a time when video tape was very expensive and the BBC actually deleted some of the old espidoes in order to re-use the tapes. Good news. Two more episodes, once believed to be missing, […]

Reebok’s tachikoma trainers

December 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Are you a shoe collector? Shoes are where high fashion meets otaku culture. Both tribes collect with a passion and spend plenty of money on it. With these Ghost in the Shell sneakers Reebok may have managed to blend both worlds. We’re talking very limited edition; only 500 of these tachikoma trainers being made. Via […]
