Gears of War fans should be sprinting to their Xbox, MS points in hand, because a new batch of DLC has been released for the game. Raam’s Shadow is, in fact, the biggest add-on ever to be released in the history of the Gears of War franchise. The new mini-campaign is around three hours in [...]
If you’re a Doctor Who fan – and one of the true variety who has all the old black and white episodes on DVD, still watching them regularly – then some exciting news has emerged. Two episodes from the sixties which were thought to be lost have been discovered and returned to the BBC, meaning [...]
Focus Home Interactive has announced that it has bagged another game which is being developed that’s based on the Game of Thrones books and hit TV series.

Several fresh snippets of news have popped up regarding the much anticipated JJ Abrams Star Trek sequel, which is destined to hit the silver screen in 2013.

The Walking Dead is nearing the end of the first half of its second season here in the UK. And it has rather shuffled its way through the initial part of the series, albeit picking up some pace in the last couple of episodes. Even if, regarding the last episode’s cliffhanger – don’t read the [...]
Dragon Eternity, a browser-based MMORPG from Q1 Online, has now moved from closed beta to public testing. So now anyone can head over to the website and sign up to play.

Skyrim was released last Friday and pretty much everyone into RPGs and video games rushed out to buy it. Reviews have been pretty much glowing, with a Metacritic average of 94% to 96% depending on which format you’re looking at.

In perhaps the biggest news since Christopher Ecclestone appeared from the Tardis in 2005 and ended a Doctor Who drought which had lasted since 1989 – save for one TV film outing for Paul McGann in 1996 – another movie is now on the cards. Except this potential production is a proper Hollywood flick, although [...]
We already knew Star Trek Online, like many massively multiplayer online games of late, was going free-to-play. But now we know the exact date on which the event will occur. Stardate January 17th of next year, to be precise. Which is a Tuesday. And the new build of the game will be coming across from [...]
Some good news in these days in which we’re more accustomed to reporting about the premature closure of sci-fi shows rather than the arrival of fresh meat. Syfy has just announced that it has three new scripted projects on the boil, under development by Universal Cable Productions, CBS TV Studios and Fox TV Studios respectively. [...]
Those keenly awaiting the PC version of the acclaimed Batman: Arkham City need wait no longer – at least for a release date. That’s because Warner Bros has now dated the game on the non-console format, and it’s due to arrive on November 25th on shelves in a game store near you. That’s just two [...]
Fans of Magicka – or moreover, folks who missed out on Magicka – take heed, because a complete edition of the game is coming out.

It’s coming like a Cacodemon hissing down a dark corridor, as we knew because John Carmack had already announced the release of the Doom 3 source code was due to happen this year.

Talk of a reboot of The Fly, another classic old flick, has been buzzing about the rumour mill for a few years now. When the first rumours emerged, David Cronenberg – the director of the 1986 classic which was itself a remake of a movie from the fifties – at first apparently wanted nothing to [...]

Matt Smith has put a dampener on speculation that he might be leaving his role as Doctor Who soon. Well, to a point, anyway. This comes after he made some comments to VH-1, in which he said he had another year of Who to film, and then he’d look towards the west and Hollywood for [...]
The Walking Dead has only just shambled back onto our screens for season two, minus Mr Darabont, the showrunner who famously exited mid-way through putting together the second outing.

Man of Steel teaser trailer released
If you’re sick of comic-book adaptations and film remakes, the last thing you might expect to get excited about is a new Superman film.
