I’ve copies of Darkspore on order but to be honest I put that pre-order based on the fact that the game is somewhat related to Spore. I’m an RPGer at heart so am a little cautious about the mosh-melee vibes I’m getting from Darkspore but do remember how much fun Dungeon Siege I was so […]
A Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic review
If you’ve been holding off subscribing to Sky then A Game of Thrones might be that one show that changes your mind. Alternatively, you could move to America for the next few months and watch it on HBO. This review comes from the UK where Sky Atlantic currently has the exclusive run of a Game […]
Cowboys & Aliens trailer
Did you expect to see Harrison Ford in a blasters and aliens movie again? It’ll be really interesting to see whether Col. Woodrow Dolarhyde channels any Solo at all. What’s clear, I think, is that the cinema trailer for Cowboys & Aliens looks pretty cool. It feels like Ironman. Doesn’t look anything like Ironman but […]
Rise of the Planet of the Apes trailer and monkey doom!
This is the trailer for James Franco‘s Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I’m getting mixed feedback on this. I thought the trailer looked pretty good. It gets to the point straight away – what’s good, what’s evil, can you tell the two apart? It seems to do that in a way that’s not […]
Portal 2: Boots video
Turns out that Cave Johnson is willing to admit that there is a reproducible human error problem with the portal device. It’s all due to the way humans tend to land badly, especially from great heights, and the resulting damage that can occur to the portal generator. Needless to say, in order to protect the […]

R.A. Salvatore’s Kingdoms of Amular trailer
R.A. Salvatore is just one of the famous names associated with the secret once known as “Project Mercury”. We’re actually talking about Kingdoms: of Amalur: Reckoning and both Spawn‘s Todd McFarlane and Morrowind & Oblivion’s Ken Rolston are also involved. This is an open world RPG. In fact, it’s a world created be R.A. Salvatore, […]
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record – erotica and zombies?
Dead Rising was one of the original zombie hits. Since Geek Native is a slave to Left 4 Dead (L4D1, at least) we like to look at other possible zombie hits. There’s that. There’s also the fact the official fact sheet from Capcom for Dead Rising talks about awarding players with Prestige Points for photographs […]
Space Marine: The Universe – Behind the Scenes
I’ve got to admit that Relic and THQ seem to have captured Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 franchise. This behind the scenes trailer is full of developers saying they respect the “IP”. In order words, they respect the intellectual property owned by Games Workshop (a company famous for sending the IP lawyers in). You could argue […]
Everything is True
Everything is True is a rather brave rather from EA and Funcom for The Secret World. It’s brave (not because it runs to the end without snagging) as it spends most of the three minutes showing us nothing. There’s some teaser clips from the game at the start but then we move on to the […]
