John Mattiuzzi and Joshua Planz’s film is described as “A lonely creature, on a lonely planet, abducted into the false allure of a computer generated world”. If you watch this surreal and rather purple sci-fi short you can leave a comment below to say whether you agree with that description or not. Ready to watch […]
Extended trailer for Jupiter Ascending looks great
We have Mila Kunis staring as Jupiter Jones, Channing Tatum as Caine along with Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne. I’ll admit it, I’m looking forward to this new sci-fi from the Wachowskis. Are you?
Ultimum RPG returns
Geek Native has been tracking Ultimum for a while. The art was so good we pushed for a sneak peak inside the book and then followed the first Kickstarter. That project was cancelled. This is the return of the ambitious game. You can read more about it on Kickstarter. [Back this Project] The campaign has […]
2K teases Sid Meier’s Starships
The trailer for Sid Meier’s Starships sets the scene. We’re a space level civilization which has just set off to, perhaps, rescue another. The game is officially described as a turn-based, adventure-driven strategy game. Developed by Firaxis Games, the PC and iOS versions are both due in Spring 2015. You can find out more over […]
9 superb illustrations from Jeremy Chong
Jeremy Chong is a concept artist at the games and animation studio Lemon Sky. Based in Malaysia, the company and Chong have worked with the likes of Bandai Namco, Campcom, 2K Games, Ubisoft, EA, Sony and Microsoft. I really like Chong’s style. He manages to blend concepts together in graceful and surprising ways. What looks […]

The tension comes to a head when CARL, the ultimate fighting champion, is pitched against a human slave who doesn’t fight back and then there’s a rescue attempt. I didn’t twig to […]

Death Spiral Games are asking for only £2,000 in their Kickstarter for sci-fi action RPG Sleeper: Orphans of the Cold War. They’ve a full 27 days on the clock, at the time of writing, over £500 in bank already and more than 20 backers. It’s looking good. You can check the latest details on their […]
Short film: Among the Stars
This sci-fi short is mainly shot to the camera as the captain of a spacecraft makes his last ever broadcast. I’d accuse him of being a drama lama but, to be fair, he’s in a tight bind. Despite the speech and the apparently simple cinematography, there is a lot going on. There are special effects […]
Short film: Arlo – The Assassin
This film had a budget of $300. Sure, I think you can see this isn’t funded by an angel investor or huge picture house but I’d be surprised if anyone watched this and took “Yeah, they only had $300 to spend” as their main takeaway. A more likely takeaway is; “Man, that Arlo is mean.” […]
The evolution of game books: A review of Sol Invictus
I’m impressed by the technology and the format of Cubus Games’ SOL INVICTUS. This is a book for your smartphone or tablet and headphones are recommended. You can pick it up on Google Play or Apple’s App Store. There are iPhone and iPad versions available for the latter. As it happens SOL INVICTUS is the […]
