I was cautious. I had recently read and thoroughly enjoyed Tanya Huff’s werewolf and mage drama The Silvered and now found myself with Tanya Huff’s military sci-fi Valour’s Choice. I like sci-fi but fantasy seems to have an easier job of pleasing me. I was cautious because I was struggling to believe Valour’s Choice would […]
Dead Agressor: Exodus trailer
The trailer for Fafner in the Azure: Dead Agressor: Exodus contains some fantastic animation. The harbour scene looks incredibly well drawn. The video also seems to focus on stern or gloomy looking people. This is actually a sci-fi anime, a mecha series, that had been planned for 2013 but now has a Q3 2014 release […]
Short film: The Signal
It’s the year 2046 and the world is deep in an energy crisis. Hope may come in a new form of energy known only as The Signal. The catch? Rebels insist The Signal causes a deadly sickness. If you liked the short you can pop over to the microsite for the movie and see how […]
Boob ninja: A review of Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere part 2
It seems pointless to deny that any reviewer who has made it to season 2 of Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere and who is still going has considered the anime’s combination of boobs and ninja. In fact; that’s the concise review. Boobs and ninja. In fairness to Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere it […]
Short film: The Pefect Time
I’m posting this on Christmas Day… not because I suspect this is the pefect time, the perfect day but because you may now be wondering what to do. Perhaps you’ve already watched Doctor Who (and perhaps you’re up for a different sort of time travel) or perhaps you’ve a shiny new tablet and you’re looking […]
Competition: The Lost Stars
Geek Native, if you search around through old reviews, is full of praise for Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet series. We’ve even been lucky enough to interview the author himself. The Lost Stars is a new series in the same world created by the military sci-fi epic. This time round we follow the events of the […]

It’s the holidays and the gift giving has started already. Publisher Wicked World Games have made a number of free downloads available for their sci-fi horror Cold & Dark. The free downloads include rules for a Medical Pod, a handy device in Cold & Dark. Apparently these rules were ready in time for the core […]
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar trailer
We’re expecting Interstellar to be out towards the end of 2014 and for the marketing to remind us that this sci-fi is from the writer of Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. I wonder if they’ll mention Christopher Nolan and Superman? The trailer doesn’t give much away but Intersteller will follow adventurers from Earth who […]
Jupiter Ascending trailer
I think we’ll hear “from the makers of The Matrix” often in the trailers for this sci-fi. The Wachowskis are back and this time have Sean Bean, Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum in tow. The story follows Jupiter Jones who despite being born under stars that suggested she would rise to greatness winds up cleaning […]
Steampunk Star Wars
The Steampunk Star Wars series is by Bjorn Hurri is impressive. The Swedish artist, now living in London, has worked with brands like SEGA, Catalyst Game Labs and NCsoft. He’s done art for Bioshock Infinite, Dead Space 2, Army of Two: Devil’s cartel and worked on titles like Infamous 2, Dishonoured and others. His steampunk […]
