Scott Pilgrim vs. The Video Game
With the Scott Pilgrim movie nearing completion, it was only a matter of time before the video game-themed comic got a video game adaptation of its own. But don't worry, the game promises to be as nostalgic as the books. More » -

So When Does The Writers Strike Stop Ruining Movies?
Hollywood writers went on strike in 2007-2008, but we're only seeing the results now, in a crop of summer movies with half-baked scripts and abnormally dunderheaded writing. So when do we start seeing some movies that the strike didn't wreck?

New Trailer Shows That Gamer = Crank + Death Race
The first U.S. trailer for Gerard Butler's Gamer has come out, and it shows a nice mix of rough-and-ready convicts-trapped-in-a-video-game action. It's like Statham's Death Race, only on legs and reimagined by the Crank guys. -

Gears Of War Trilogy A Bloodier Lord of the Rings?
Turns out the Gears of War movie is actually a trilogy that's "basically a harder-edged Lord of the Rings," says director Len Wiseman. Now I'm envisioning Hobbits with chainsaw bayonettes — and it's beautiful. More » -

The Tomorrow War Looks Good Today
One of the best parts of video-game classic Mass Effect was the ability to take your ship to different planets throughout the galaxy, and actually touch down, get out and explore the places. A new game, The Tomorrow War, takes that concept and expands on it exponentially, giving you a virtual sandbox of systems and worlds to explore. Of course, if you have to dole out some Soviet-style ass-kicking in the process, then so be it. At least you'll be tooling around in this cruiser that looks a lot like the U.S.S. Sulaco from Aliens. Check out a full gallery of new images from this game below. More » -

Massive Crabfort Crushes Your Landscape
Guild Wars isn't really known for having a science fiction element to it, but this concept art shows off an extremely steampunked Crab Fort, lumbering across the horizon. Enormous cogs and gears are evident in the construction work that looks like something straight out of a psychotic version of Burning Man. Everyone is standing around fairly calmly, not paying much attention to the GIANT FREAKING WALKING CRAB VILLAGE! More » -

"Aliens" Game Dunks Your Whole Squad In Acid Blood
Have you ever wanted to play as a Colonial Marine in the Alien universe, blasting those acid-for-blood xenomorphs with your M41A pulse rifle and sweeping areas with a motion tracker? Now your dreams can come true when you slip into your body armor and pick up a controller. Based on these screenshots from Aliens: Colonial Marines, it looks like you'll only need Hicks yelling "Game over, man!" to make it feel like you're really there. More »
