It really conveyed the horror of the film, and the isolation of space. Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant has gone for something a little more simple This new poster for the film has been released, and it shows a xenomorph returning to the franchise It's tagline? Simply, "Run" I actually super dig that, considering we know very[...]

His dangerously curious David was the driving force behind a lot of the film's action and is more or less what I'm most excited about seeing continue into Alien: Covenant. While David is confirmed for a return in the sequel, it seem Fassbender will be splitting his duties Speaking to The Irish Times (via @rorysbooks), the actor[...]

Gearbox CEO, Randy Pitchford got a lot of flack when Aliens: Colonial Marines came out The drama as to why is long and spans several sources, but as a summary, people were disappointed in the game and due to pre-release advertising showing 'better' graphics than what it shipped with, people thought they had been lied[...]

I've talked at length about my complicated relationship with Alien: Isolation before While it drove me nuts at points, I actually ended up falling in love with the title.

After the disastrous Colonial Marines you'd think that Sega would've[...]

Imagine you are at watching the greatest Beatles tribute band live These guys are the real deal, only[...]

It was clear that they were the publisher who simply couldn't be overlooked in the clamor of SDCC, and the opportunity to hear directly from Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie about the concepts behind this full-scale assault on the con was not something I could pass up. Likewise, the rest of 2014 and the coming year will continue[...]
