Square Enix have a bit of a PR issue on their hands with Final Fantasy XIV. Suspicions that the game was written for the Chinese market came to the fore with Chocobos being re-named “Horsebirds”. Chinese characters had been popping up in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XIV. Typically, Square would be mixing English […]

Halo Jetpack in Trafalgar Square
Just as we were talking about Halo cosplay here in Geek Native towers this rather nice video of some Halo jetpack action presented itself to us. What it certainly shows is how far jetpack technology has progressed. It also shows us that some PR stunts are cool. What do you think? Would you charge or […]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles
Some mashups are too good not to do. Take the immortal Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (once known as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in the UK because, weirdly, the word ‘ninja’ was thought to be too violent) as a start. What could you mash in? Pokemon! You bet. In fact, once we make that call it’s […]
Mii slaying PlayStation Move ad
I don’t think it’s too hard to guess that PlayStation have the Wii in their targets for the PlayStation Move launch. It makes sense. They don’t want to compare the accessory to Kinect. They want it compared to the Wii. Even if the tactics make sense is it still not possible they’ll take the head-to-head […]
The Hobbit in Under 2 Minutes
The Hobbit in, like, under two minutes!
Cthulhu in the shower: Great Old Spice
You’re not fed up of Old Spice videos yet? Look at me? No? Good. There’s just one more you have to watch. That’s right; Cthulhu fresh from the shower and here to sell you Great Old Spice. Clearly this is a must watch but just make that sanity check, will you? What do you think? […]
Pictures: Felicia Day (@feliciaday) as Guest DJ at KCRW
This afternoon I picked up an email news release from KCRW who thought Geek Native might be interested in Felicia Day’s Guest DJ slot at radio station KCRW. Day stalkers, who? Us? Guilty as charged. We emailed back and asked for more – and got it! The pictures you see below are exclusive to Geek […]
Mega unboxing: Looking inside the Halo Reach Legendary Edition
The Halo Reach Legendary Edition arrived, on time, at the humble flat and Rainbow One took many pictures of the unboxing. It’s a very  large box. The controller game in a separate delivery! Not yet decided where/if we can put the models. They may need to be returned to the box. However, the initial impressions are “wow” […]
Real Life Super Heroes
Real Life Super Heroes is a photography project from Peter Tangen. Simply put; real people dress as superheroes (perhaps in some cases do the Kick Ass thing and try and be heroes). In pretty much every case; Tangen makes them look cool. Who wouldn’t want that? Over at Facebook there’s just the faint suggestion Tangen […]
New Xbox 360 Dashboard for Kinect leaked
Wasn’t this bound to happen? We’ve a YouTube video claiming to be a leaked previewof the Kinect enabled dashboard (dasboard 2.0) for the Xbox. There’s always a risk with such “leaks” that its a fake but this one looks believable. My first impression is that this doesn’t look amazingly impressive. It’s just very familiar – […]
