Okay, for legal reasons, I think it’s best to call this a movie inspired by Half-Life. It’s a fan made production and isn’t official at all. However, it looks pretty darn good! They had a budget of $1,200. It’s taken two years to get this far. I don’t know about you but I’m already rooting […]
Pandora Machine’s Clone Hunter
Three months ago the trailer for Clone Hunter appeared on Vimeo. It’s one of those trailers that goes straight for the sci-fi fan levers, getting your interest quickly while doing a pretty good job at not looking low budget. For example, seconds into the video we know that in the future they’re growing clones for […]
Shiny new Gantz trailer
I’ve still not seen the Gantz anime. There always seems something else to buy. I suspect I’ll have to see it before the Gantz movie hits the shores of Scotland – er, um, if it ever makes it this far! So far, on the forums, most of the debate seems to be whether the actress […]
Mega Man Universe trailer is pretty funky
Capcom have released a trailer for the re-invented Mega Fan franchise. We don’t have much information but it looks a bit like Capcom are trying to tap into retro culture and unearth themselves a franchise with both creditability and some cash earning skills. That said; the trailer is pretty cool.
Does Matt Smith really want to quit as Doctor Who?
Here’s one that’ll start a debate about the credibility of British Tabloids. The Sun is reporting that Matt Smith will quit Doctor Who had the end of his next series. Why? He wants to crack Hollywood. That’s a plausible story but that’s also a story that could be argued for any any up-and-coming British actor. […]
Centurion – will it hold the line?
I think it’s all too easy to be mislead by a movie’s trailer these days. I wonder if as much times goes into their prep as the movie itself. That’s why I’m cautious. Centurion looks like it’s going to be a really great movie. I mean; it looks really good. We’ve action, drama, grit and […]
The Beatles as zombies? Paul is Undead? Undead mashups rage on
If you’re writing a book that mixes the undead (or perhaps sea monsters) with popular historical figures (fictional or otherwise) then you’re part way to getting a book deal. Is it a fad? Author Alan Goldsher doesn’t think so. He argues that the “mashup” has lasted long enough to become a sub-genre. It will have […]
InSpectres has a movie. Here’s a teaser.
Way back in 2004 GameWyrd published an early review of InSpectres. Memento Mori Theatricks and Jared Sorensen already commanded high reguard from the gaming community back then. That station has risen in the last six years. InSpectres is a PDF and, I think, an example of how the PDF RPG industry has helped the community […]
Shadowland music video trailer
Marvel are introducing a new villain. In fact, they’re calling this Andy Diggle and Billy Tan baddie Marvel Universe’s greatest villian. In Shadowland #1 the Avengers, Moon Knight, Thunderbolts and others team up to try and contain this new foe. The soul of New York is at risk. There will be a number of tie-in […]
Spot the difference: Final Fantasy XIV alpha verus Final Fantasy XIV beta
Square Enix have been showing off some more of Final Fantasy XIV. In particular, they’ve addressed some initial concerns that the game looked a bit bland. I would agree that the lighting differences between the alpha test and beta test versions are more dramatic. I do worry about the combat though. I used to perfer […]
