Ninja Scroll is coming to Blu-ray. Hoo-ray! It’s a digitally transfered edition and looks far more crisp than I’ve ever seen it before. The Steelbook is a combination Blu-ray/DVD set, with a 20 page booklet and exclusive commentary by Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri. What works for this trailer is that they take the time to show […]

Violin medley of Zelda music
If you rather liked Taylor Davis’ collection of Zelda music in this video then you might well be tempted by her “Gaming Fantasy” album out for iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. How many of the songs did you recognise in the medley? I’ve watched more Zelda than I’ve played but I recognised a fair few […]
New Dredd 3D clip – hear Dredd speak
This might have been the first time I’ve heard Dredd speak in a trailer for Dredd 3D. Hmm. If that’s not right it’s certainly the first time I’ve heard Karl Urban‘s voice and thought; “Wait, is he supposed to be Dredd?”. This clip features Olivia Thirlby as Judge Cassandra Anderson. Anderson has, thanks to mutation, […]
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters Trailer
This is the first trailer for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and it looks pretty cool. It features man of the minute Jeremy Renner (surely his star can go no higher among geeks?) and Gemma Arterton. Recognise Arterton from somewhere? She was Tamina in Prince of Persia, Io in Clash of the Titans and Strawberry […]
Sony Xperia’s “Unleash your music on the world” ad ramps up NFC
Apple has announced an event for September 12th and so the speculation around the iPhone 5 begins. One heated area is NFC (near field communication) and whether the iPhone will support it or not. Lots of people want the feature but some of the best tipped pundits are saying it is unlikely. This Xperia ad […]
A gun wielding, masked Arab-American? Must be the new Green Lantern
The first Green Lantern Alan Scott made headlines by becoming an openly gay male superhero. It looks like the line will continue the fine trend of fair minded thinking as Sector 2814 produces yet another Green Lantern and the rings go to Simon Baz. Yes, Green Lantern rings. Two of them but let’s come back […]
Doctor Who: The hidden Dinosaurs on a Spaceship wallpaper!
The second episode in season seven of Doctor who has Amy and Rory back as usual companions as well as some other interesting characters. The episode is called Dinosaurs on a Spaceship and so I feel there might be a plot clue there as well. The BBC have released a number of wallpapers for the […]
Is Oswin Oswald really the Doctor’s next Companion?
This article discusses the Christmas Special for Doctor Who. It is speculation and invites debate in the comments section below. There may also be SPOILERS depending on how up to date you are with the show. If you’ve not seen Asylum of the Daleks (episode 1, series 7) then you may wish to skip this […]
Valve job listing seems to confirm hardware ambitions
There have been rumours about Valve getting into hardware before. Fans seem to rather want a Steambox console but so far all such whispers have turned out to be false. It’s also the case that Valve are worried about Windows 8. The prospect of a Windows 8 store (one that might grow like an apple) […]
Are RPG dice good enough quality to be truly random?
The video above is of Colonel Louis Zocchi, the founder of GameScience, explaining why he believes GameScience will roll more true than others. The summary is that the traditional RPG dice are polished in a way that rounds off corners and painted in a way that gives them an inconsistent shape. The inconsistent shape results […]
