Hard Copy: Dead Space Liberation Review
The dark and mysterious depths of space have fascinated man
for centuries. Countless explorers and writers have spent swaths of their lives sitting and wondering what may lurk in the tiny cracks of space. In the case of Dead Space: Liberation, Electronic Arts newest Dead Space graphic novel, the answer is isolation and possible human extinction. Continue reading
Astronaut Selection (Contest): Win a Pair of Purple “Goo” Gloves from the Set of Warehouse 13
Back in October a group of reporters were able to venture to the set of Warehouse 13. While we were there we were able to explore, take photos and talk to the cast. Some of us
were able to leave with parting gifts…official Warehouse purple gloves.
As I was leaving one of the prop people told me to grab a couple of pairs of gloves since next season they are going to cloth from the current rubber. Well I have 2 pairs and if you are a fan of Warehouse 13 you may want a pair too. Continue reading
Hard Copy: Heed The Creed…Assassin’s Creed Graphic Novel Review
White cloaks, vague historical conspiracies, and arm blades impaling unsuspecting victims
are just a few things people have come to expect from the Assassin’s Creed universe. In these regards the three-part English adapted graphic novels will not disappoint.
Published through Titan Books, the trilogy is adapted from the 2009 French graphic novels of the same titles. Book one is titled Desmond, book two is Accipiter, and book three Acquilis. Written by Éric Corbeyran, the three novels take you on a fast paced adventure that begins just before the events of Assassin’s Creed 2, the novel’s video game counterpart, and follows hero Desmond and a band of assassins as they attempt to thwart the evil Templars. While any stalwart fan will notice that the novels do not link up perfectly with the games, they do well in providing some back story otherwise unavailable. Continue reading
Equipment: Nerf Rough Cut Review
Nerf does a great job making sci-fi looking blasters. 2013 has seen
Nerf turn away from the yellow/orange color scheme opting for a more aesthetically pleasing blue/white, but that hasn’t been their only change; Nerf has also kicked up the power. The new line boasts up to a 75ft range on everything. This is great for those of us who don’t mod their blasters. When I saw the Rough Cut I knew I had to have one. Continue reading

Vids: Superman Unbound Review
Superman: Unbound is the newest offering from DC Animation. This time around Matt
Bomer (White Collar) voices the Last Son of Krypton with Stana Katic (Castle) as Lois Lane and Molly Quinn (Castle) as Supergirl. I have to say when I first heard that Bomer was taking over voice duties I was disappointed it wasn’t Tim Daly, but I now think that Bomer is a great successor. Continue reading
Hard Copy: Captain Action-The Riddle of the Glowing Men Review
What do you get when you mix Mission Impossible, The Man from
U.N.C.L.E. and Jonny Quest? You get The Riddle of the Glowing Men written by Jim Beard.
The swinging sixties were a time a time of highs and lows for the world. The two great super powers, America and the Soviet Union crossed paths many times somehow avoiding a nuclear confrontation. A hot war raged in Southeast Asia, a Cold War kept the human race one button push from Armageddon and space was the preferred destination. Because of the tension in the world, the spy genre was at its peak, in novels, on television and on the big screen. The sixties were and are a rich backdrop for a novel, especially the newest offering from author Jim Beard entitled, Captain Action-The Riddle of the Glowing Men. Continue reading
