The pilot episode for the new Battlestar Galactica spin-off show, Blood and Chrome , has been completed. Composer Bear McCreary made the announcement yesterday, revealing he'd just completed the soundtrack for the episode. SyFy will apparently be announcing shortly plans for transmitting the pilot. Concept art for the pilot, released by SyFy. Set in the tenth year of the First Cylon War (or 44 years before BSG begins), Blood and Chrome will follow the young pilot William 'Husker' Adama (Luke Pasqualino) as he is assigned as a Raptor pilot aboard the battlestar Galactica . Apparently the series will follow his reassignment as a Viper pilot and the ongoing war against the Cylons. This will necessitate some re-jigging of continuity, as the Razor TV movie previously suggested that Adama only saw action on the very last day of the war. The new series was created and developed by David Eick and Michael Taylor, who both worked on BSG . BSG showrunner Ronald D. Moore has moved on...

HBO have - inadvertently - let slip the promotional art for Season 2 of Game of Thrones . This striking image informs us that war is, indeed, coming. This image will also be used (apparently) on the HBO tie-in editions of A Clash of Kings , out next week in the USA and a few weeks later in the UK.

An enigmatic website indicates that the veteren Baldur's Gate fantasy RPG series is set to make a comeback. Some digging by EuroGamer confirms that a new development company, Beamdog, is working on the project. What 'the project' might be remains unclear, with level-headed fans suggesting it may just be a high-definition re-release of the existing games to work better with modern-day computers rather than a full sequel (which, given the definitive way the original series ended, would be redundant anyway). More information is expected soon. The original Baldur's Gate series was developed by BioWare and Black Isle (now Obsidian) and comprises Baldur's Gate (1998) and Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2000), along with their respective expansions, Tales of the Sword Coast (1999) and Throne of Bhaal (2001). Set in the Forgotten Realms and using the D&D 2nd Edition rules, the games chart the player character's rise from an anonymous orphan to a hero (or v...

A new trailer has been released for the MMORPG based on Tad Williams's Otherland novels. You may wish to mute it if you don't want to be subjected to a particularly poor wubstep soundtrack (which hopefully is just on the trailer, not the whole game). Looks interesting. More interesting is the fact that the game will actually be free to play, and should be available before the end of 2012.

Alan Ball, the creator and showrunner of HBO's True Blood , is stepping down from his position. He will take a back-seat role on the vampire drama as it continues into its sixth season. According to HBO he will have a 'supervisory' role on the show going forward, but will also be developing new projects for the company. Ball's first post- True Blood role will be as an executive producer on Cinemax's upcoming original series, Banshee (which will not feature any supernatural elements). Cinemax is owned by HBO and is developing an original programming schedule with HBO's advice and input. Ball is also developing an original series for HBO focusing on the life of an abortion doctor, likely to be controversial. This is an interesting move, the first time (to my knowledge) that HBO has elected to continue a TV show after its original creator/showrunner has stepped down. Previously the departure of a showrunner has led to the cancellation of the series. However, with ...

POSTADO POR LUKINHA_SMILY O Super Mario (ou somente Mario para os mais chegados) é um encanador, tem um jeitão de italiano, um irmão que é praticamente a sua cara e passa a vida resgatando a princesa Peach das garras do terrível Bowser. Bem, essa é a biografia básica de um dos personagens mais famosos da história dos video games, entretanto, você conhece algum outro detalhe? Você sabia, por exemplo, que ele já foi brinde de uma rede de lanchonetes mundial ou, então, que ele tinha um nome completamente diferente? Pois é, há muito mais sobre o Super Mario e os seus games do que você pode imaginar! Conheça agora alguns segredos e curiosidades deste paciente e corajoso encanador! 1. Um mero coadjuvante Muita gente não sabe, mas a primeira aparição de Mario foi em outro game de Shigeru Miyamoto: Donkey Kong, um arcade lançado em 1981 e que era, segundo o desenvolvedor, uma mistura de “Popeye” e “King Kong”. 2. Mario ou Jumpman? Além de começar em outro jogo, Mario também não tinha esse nome...

POSTADO POR LUKINHA_SMILY Uma das primeiras análises de Mass Effect 3, publicada pela revista Gamestar, revelou que o game pode levar mais de 40 horas para ser completado totalmente. De acordo com a publicação, as missões principais do modo campanha levam de 15 a 20 horas para serem concluídas, e esse tempo é duplicado caso o jogador queira realizar as side quests, que seriam vitais para compreender completamente a trama. Já em entrevista ao site Penny Arcade , os fundadores da BioWare, Greg Zeschuk e Ray Muzyka afirmaram que criar um MMO de Mass Effect já passou pela cabeça. Segundo eles, um título desse tipo seria bem diferente da série principal, mas seria muito divertido pela quantidade de pessoas envolvidas nesse universo. Os entrevistados não deram nenhum tipo de informação para indicar que um game desse tipo realmente está sendo desenvolvido, mas Zeschuk deixou as possibilidades bem abertas. Para ele, é preciso deixar que o jogador faça tudo o que quiser dentro do universo de s...

On October 21st, the town of Chester's Mill in Maine is abruptly sealed off from the outside world by a mysterious barrier. Several cars and aircraft crash into the 'Dome', causing serious injuries and several fatalities. The US government moves swiftly to seal off the area and attempt to pierce the Dome through technological means. However, inside the Dome events rapidly deteriorate as a local town politician takes advantage of the chaos to try to take over the town, sparking a chain of events that will end in tragedy. Originally published in 2009, Under the Dome was notable for several reasons at release. It was King's first really big, one-off horror novel in a considerable number of years. It was also a book that King had been trying to write on and off since 1976, but had bounced off as it was 'too ambitious'. From the writer of the complex Dark Tower sequence and the large, sprawling The Stand , this was an impressive comment. After reading the finished no...

There's a new trailer out for The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra , the sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender . Presumably the 'Avatar' bit has been dropped for James Cameron-related reasons. The steampunky/faux-Victorian tech angle looks good, though the goofy announcer is seriously annoying. It also looks like they are emphasising the humour in this trailer over the more dramatic stuff. The Legend of Korra is set approximately seventy-five years after the previous series and charts the adventures of Korra, the latest incarnation of the Avatar, someone who is able to use all four elemental forms of magic (most magic-users - 'benders' in the setting's unfortunate parlance - can only use one). The series is set in Republic City, where technology and science exist alongside magic, and the principle storyline revolves around an anti-bending society known as the Equalists attempting to stamp out all use of magic. The series will initially comprise a twelve...

A while back it was announced that Michael Whelan would be producing the cover art for the ebook edition of the final Wheel of Time novel, A Memory of Light . Following that, it was sadly announced that Darrell K. Sweet, who'd produced the artwork for the thirteen print editions of the novels (plus the New Spring prequel, the YA editions of the books and the roleplaying game and adventure book), had passed away with the cover art for the final book left incomplete. Logically, Tor have announced that Whelan's ebook artwork will now also grace the cover of the American print editions of the final novel (the British edition will likely continue to use the Wheel of Time logo against a coloured background, as with the previous few books in the series). Whelan had this to say about the project: "I’m flattered to no end to have been asked to work on such a prestigious and popular project. My only regret is that it had to come under such unfortunate circumstances; I never wo...

Here's the latest and longest trailer for Season 2 of Game of Thrones: This trailer is the most interesting yet. We see the red comet, one of Daenerys's dragons, what appears to be a CGI-enhanced (or totally CGI) direwolf and plenty of scenes of combat. This season is the 'season of battles' apparently, with more of Robb's campaign in the Westerlands being shown (possibly at the expense of Riverrun and the other members of House Tully, who appear have been pushed back to Season 3). Somewhat controversially, we also see Robb's meeting with Jeyne, something that happens in the timeline of A Clash of Kings , but firmly off-page. We also see the parley between Stannis and Renly and we see more of Daenerys in Qarth. Beyond the Wall we see Jon Snow and Jeor Mormont having doom-laden conversations, but also get some dialogue from Qhorin Halfhand. The meat of the season should be Tyrion's antics in King's Landing, and we get some interesting dialogue from Little...
