Just when I was mumbling to myself that there was no sign of Mass Effect 2 (amongst other game sequels) this year, lo and behold BioWare goes and releases a teaser trailer and site for the second part of their space opera trilogy. It is a teaser of the most teasing kind, so don’t expect to actually glean much useful from it. As always, video and links after the jump. Continue reading Mass Effect 2 Teaser
On this special/overblown day it seems Blizzard aren’t immune from a cheesy pun or three, providing three new StarCraft II wallpapers to celebrate. Continue reading “You are always on my Overmind.”
Being almost equal parts design geek as gaming geek, running across this on Kotaku the other day was a little too perfectly up my street to not share on SGN.
The story behind these beautiful covers is a simple premise – game boxart design for the most part, leaves a lot to be desired. So Olly Moss decided to reimagine what some classic game covers would look like borrowing from the richer heritage of book cover design. When Kotaku reported on his designs, more folks decided to join in on the reimagining, take a peek at some of my favourites. Continue reading Reimagined Game Covers
After years of rumours and attempts to bring the show back in one way or another, it’s finally been revealed Red Dwarf will return to telly on Dave as a two-part Easter special. Continue reading Red Dwarf & Eggs
Gorgeous model robot from an alternate 1957. Sadly only available in Japan though! Continue reading Chuba 01
The latest game in the long running archaeology (well in theory… it’s not quite Time Team) series. Though lets face it, it’s better known for the heroine, her assets and somewhat spray painted on outfits. Personally I loved it, although it felt rather short. Don’t go expecting it to change the genre, everything you would expect is still in there. For better or worse depending on whether you’re a fan of the series. Continue reading Tomb Raider Underworld

“…you’re willing to believe anything.”
Fabulous new trailer for British sci-fi film Franklyn which is coming out sometime in 2009 in the UK at least. Have heard little of it myself previously, but the trailer blew me away. Continue reading “When you’re lost…”
It’s been a rubbish last few months for the Trek geeks left whimpering around in the remnants of a once loved franchise. First Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel in the original show, Troi’s harpy-esque mother in The Next Generation and the computer voice in most of it’s on going sequels including the new upcoming Trek film, and of course Gene Roddenberry’s widow) passed away back in December.
And now Ricardo Montalban – more famous for his role in Fantasy Island – but immortalised as one of the most famous villains in Trek history, along with being in one of the only good Trek movies to date. At 88 he certainly had a good run, but it’s still rather rubbish as all deaths are. Continue reading “KHAAAAAAAAANNNNN”
I’ve been collecting various of these links and bits and pieces for some time, and as SGN is rather geeky as am I, I thought I’d bring them together to share. The only real parity between these different buildings is that they all look and feel like concept art for science fiction Continue reading The future is now-ish.
