Watching the first video trailer for the upcoming “Halo: ODST” video game made me hungry and eager for a full length feature made exactly the same way. Think Saving Private Ryan on a hostile alien world, chockablock with frothing, gigantic extraterrestrial killers, sharp toothed and vicious,...

Many of you Sci-Fi citizens, like me, get frustrated that we’re not living the life that constantly floats around in our imaginations. Watching or reading good or even bad Sci-Fi can be torture sometimes. I do not live on Coruscant or Naboo. I don’t have a Minority Report style computer interface...

I’ve actually played the “Aliens vs. Predator” games from the ’90s, and found them to be pretty darn good. Okay, pretty darn friggin’ excellent. The latest “Aliens vs. Predator” game is on its way to the next-gen console, and if the original games are any indication,...

Collider got themselves some snaps of a freaking huge and cool 14 foot tall  powersuit from the E3 game convention in LA. This beast is from the “Avatar” game and it’s safe to say I think it’ll also be featured prominently in the movie. Making movie props must be an incredibly...

Wait just a second while I pull my eyeballs back from the center of my cerebral cortex. I have just seen the best game trailer of all time. “Star Wars: The Old Republic” is an upcoming massively multi-player game from the great Bioware. This game will be a replacement for the disasterous...

Let’s face it, games based on Hollywood movies have always been iffy at best. When they’re based on a summer event film, the chances of finding a good one in the bunch are pretty slim. Every now and then you stumble across one worth playing. For instance, I thought the first “Riddick”...

The funny thing about the “Transformers” game is, um, how do you tell it apart from the movie? After all, aren’t they both using pretty much the same CG images? So aside from the humans, aren’t the game and the movie pretty much the same thing? Anyways. I’ve actually played...

Science fiction is coming to the MMO gamesphere in a big way this year. At odds will be Bioware’s likely great replacement for Star Wars Galaxies, Knights of the Old Republic and the Star Trek MMO. Craig Zinkievich from Cryptic Studios sat down with MSNBC for an interview, detailing how our wagon...

Games that accompany movie releases have a mixed history. Most uncontrollably suck. There are exceptions, such as the Riddick game, where a game company can fire together something good in the shorter development cycle. Games worth playing usually take more than a couple of years to make. In the case...

In what is probably a viral video to promote the next episode of Half Life, a terrified science guy dons some cool heads up display tech and runs for the hills while being hunted by evil government guys. Overshadowing all is the imminent entry into our world of cross dimensional aliens bent on a dark...

Mr. Diesel is pretty wise to keep pushing his Riddick and Pitch Black franchises. He had something very special in the first movie of the series. I will eagerly return to another effort if Vin and Company go back to the roots of that original story. Of course, no good Sci-Fi movie is without a video...

The first Chronicles of Riddick game, “Escape from Butcher Bay”, was probably the very first case of a game based on a movie actually being better than the movie itself. Sure, “Chronicles of Riddick” the movie had its moments, but for the most part it was confusing and overly...

The friendly (overworked, underfunded) folks over at NASA are in the process of constructing their own Massively Multiplayer around the theme of constructing and maintaining a colony or base on some godforsaken planet with no breathable atmosphere, nasty radiation and other bare metal survival issues....

Zero-G the Game hasn’t even been released to the general public yet — heck, it hasn’t even been finished yet! — but that isn’t going to stop 20th Century Fox from snatching up the game’s movie rights to turn it into a movie. Hey, it sure beats Uwe Boll getting his...
