A modern movie version of The Twilight Zone is coming – of course it is, a modern movie version of everything retro is coming, it would seem – and now the project has a name attached to direct. And that name, picked by Warner Bros, would be Matt Reeves, at least according to Deadline’s ever-present [...]
The Secret World is an upcoming MMORPG from Funcom, the producers of Anarchy Online and Age of Conan (which recently went free-to-play). And it’s a massively multiplayer title which has quite a few online gamers hot under the collar, as it sounds quite different from your run-of-the-mill MMOG in some respects. Even if the title [...]
Here’s some news for thunder fans everywhere regarding the next instalment of Thor. A director has been confirmed to take control of the sequel, none other than Patty Jenkins according to Den of Geek. Jenkins is most famous for directing the 2003 flick Monster, which was a dark tale of murder that stared Charlize Theron [...]
It’s now less than a month until the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim bursts forth in all its role-playing goodness onto PCs, Xbox and PS3 consoles across the land. Skyrim is about to go gold – to all intents and purposes it’s finished – and there’s a tradition at Bethesda when it comes to their games. [...]
Remember Rentaghost? If you were a child of the seventies, you’ll probably find it hard to forget the kids’ TV comedy show about a bunch of ghosts who could be hired out for hauntings. Jester ghost Timothy Claypole bumbled about the modern world, failing to get to grips with it all, and Nadia Popov who [...]
Here come the Men In Black, the defenders of our galaxy and smartly dressed, mind-zapper wielding terminators of extraterrestrials with extreme prejudice. And as you’re probably aware, in May next year the film Men In Black 3 is set to open, in 3D of course. Naturally enough, where there’s a film, there’s an official game [...]
NCsoft has announced a partnership with Innova (who run the Lineage II servers in Russia) to bring the game to European servers. The European version will launch along with the Goddess of Destruction expansion, and the game will be free-to-play, a model an increasing amount of MMOGs are adopting. This year, Conan, Star Trek Online, [...]
James Cameron has been chin-wagging about the sequel to his 3D alien epic which wowed some, and left others distinctly underwhelmed. We’d already heard that Sigourney Weaver was set to return in her lead role. Although quite how, exactly, has never been clear seeing as she died at the end of the original Avatar. Never [...]
No, Batman: Arkham City isn’t out yet. The highly anticipated sequel to the hit Arkham Asylum is actually released a week on Friday, but that hasn’t stopped Warner Bros unveiling another piece of DLC for the game. So Nightwing fans, prepare to be excited, because this pack revolves around the man himself, and will be [...]
Kalypso has announced that its turn-based tactical RPG, Disciples III: Resurrection, is now on shelves across the UK. Think Heroes of Might & Magic, but grittier. The game sends players to Nevendaar, with the rather novel concept of leading an army of the walking dead rather than dispatching the decaying shufflers. The army in question [...]
GameCity, if you’ve not heard of it before, is an indie video game festival which takes place at the end of the month in Nottingham city centre. And at the sixth GameCity this year, in honour of the 25th anniversary of Zelda, a world record attempt is being organised. Gaming records are becoming bigger news [...]

Normally computer games are made based on films, not the other way round, but the reverse trend started some time ago with the likes of Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Doom hitting the silver screen due to the popularity of their game franchise. Halo is also a big name sci-fi franchise, and work on a [...]
Another science-fiction series has been signed up over in the States, by ABC, hopefully one which won’t be cancelled after a big cliffhanger at the end of the second season. Ex-Comm is set to be a sci-fi drama with humorous overtones, and has an elevator pitch of West Wing meets the X-Files. But with a [...]
Focus Home Interactive has announced a new role-playing game being overseen by Cyanide (of BloodBowl fame), and developed by Spiders. Of Orcs and Men is considerably underway with development, and is expected to be released at some point next year.

Like us, you’re probably keenly awaiting the return of The Walking Dead with season two of the zombie show set to air later this month. It returns to FX on October 21st, just two weeks on Friday, but if you can’t wait until then, there’s a little taster which has been released this week by [...]
Epic has some exciting news for iOS gamers. The sequel to its touchscreen combat game, Infinity Blade, is sharpened and ready to be unsheathed in December of this year. In fact, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch owners will be able to get their grubby fingerprints on Infinity Blade 2 on the first day of the [...]
Remember Mortal Kombat: Annihilation? If you watched it, you’re probably still trying to forget the 1997 movie, which was a loose adaptation of the Mortal Kombat 3 video game. It was actually the sequel to the first Mortal Kombat film two years previous, but Annihilation was truly panned by the critics – a thinly strung [...]
Social gaming is becoming increasingly popular, what with the inexorable rise of Facebook and its now 800+ million users. And it isn’t just virtual farming games or gem stacking puzzlers that you can play on the social network now, but role-playing games, too. Atari has just announced that its social RPG, Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes [...]
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. That’s right: there’s a new Superman film scheduled for release in 2013. However, before you run off groaning at the idea of yet another mediocre cash-in, this one comes with caveats. [...]

All Zombies Must Die hits the Xbox
At the weekend, All Zombies Must Die was unleashed on Xbox Live. As you can probably guess from the title, this is a rather tongue in cheek game developed by Doublesix with a focus on multiplayer zombie slaying. Set in the town of Deadhill, All Zombies Must Die offers a huge variety of weapons (such [...]
