Who were the big winners at the MCV Industry Excellence Awards?
MCV are the people who sit between geek gamer culture and the industry here in the UK. Their awards are significant. No wonder 650 retailers, publishers, developers and distributors turned up for Thursday night’s MCV Industry Excellence Awards. We’re sure Geek Native’s complementary tickets were lost in the mail – perhaps caught up in the […]
Halo Reach – Carnage Carnival – discussions on game balance
Bungie has released a video called Carnage Carnival which features some of the team discussing the beta release of the game. A number of things are clear. First off; this is your typical “we’re very proud of our product” presentation. Bungie has every reason to be very proud of Halo and Halo Reach looks to […]
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
Ubisoft have been fairly upfront that a key tactic for this year is to get Assassin’s Creed 3 ready, stocked and sold as quickly as possible. Thanks to some careful domain watching we can now guess with a strong degree of confidence that the game will be called Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. How come? Ubisoft have […]
Cloverfield 2 – the secret trailer debate
Two videos on YouTube are widely believed to be “secret” trailers for Cloverfield 2. Viral marketing, a stunt or just the wisdom of the crowd gone wrong. The videos appear on abcharu21’s Channel and the user abcharu21 has posted nothing else. Posted in September and August 2009 they’ve wracked up over 200,000 views (at the […]
Motion Comic: Iron Man Extremis

Magic: The Gathering – Eyjafjallajökull prevents all creatures from flying
Ha! Geek humour meets my working life style (one which involves a lot of flights – except this week in which ash from Eyjafjallajökull has stopped that). That’s right. This is an Eyjafjallajökull Magic: The Gathering Card. Can you spot the error? Surely a land card wouldn’t have any mana cost? Let me know if […]
What’s in the Halo Reach Legendary Pack?
Game.co.uk are now accepting pre-orders for the Halo Reach Legendary Pack. This gives us a chance to see what’s inside it. It’s also worth noting that there are three versions of the game; standard, limited and legendary. The pre-order at Game.co.uk for the Legendary Pack costs nearly £100 and (due to weight) doesn’t ship outside […]
I Hate Stuff – L4D2: The Passing
Without featuring a single zombie this promo video for Left 4 Dead 2’s The Passing is one of the best in the series. Imagine the scene: Francis meets Rochelle
The Ghost Who Walks: SyFy’s The Phantom
SyFy are bringing us a mini-series for a re-imagined The Phantom. Yup; that purple clad hero of old. Once again they’ve teamed up with RHI Entertainment for this modern retelling. RHI are the people who worked with SyFy on Tin Man, the Wizard of Oz re-telling that featured Zooey Deschanel and Alan Cumming. The new […]
