Divergent: Insurgent trailer
The teaser trailer for the Divergent sequel has landed (or taken off; depending on your point of view). Chuck out the soppy bits and I rather liked the original Divergent movie. I’ve not read the books but the world of Divergent seemed to have a bit more interest to it than The Hunger Games. I […]
Ad Nauseum: A Review of the Kromore RPG
Tired of new role playing games trying to reinvent the genre with modern design concepts? Are you frustrated with role playing games that are trying to bring the hobby in new directions, or modernized for contemporary audiences? Well, have I got a game for you.

Sci-fi readers less likely to enjoy sci-fi films
Geek Native’s little slice of research on sci-fi movies is not very scientific. It will not stand up to any real scrutiny but you may find it interesting anyway. Do you agree with the research?

Sneakily gripping: A review of Robotics; Notes parts 1 and 2
This is a review of both parts of Robotics;Notes. I was able to watch both parts in quick succession because of a hurt foot and compulsory residence on the sofa. It makes a big difference to the series. Part 1 (episodes 1 to 11) are great but give the impression of a carefully paced, feel […]

A short sci-fi from A TWIN (thing) – that’s Jonathan and Josh Baker. This is a sci-fi although the slow start may leave you wondering what’s going on.

Exploring Asimov’s Three Laws: A review of Time of Eve
Most sci-fi geeks know Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. A robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect […]
Real enough for you? A review of Appleseed Alpha
I think the Appleseed series is underrated. It’s always been great fun and always pushed ahead to explore with what animation can do. Appleseed Alpha is no exception. At times, for the scenery, I actually wondered whether it was a photo still that had been animated over the top of. The animation quality in Appleseed […]
