New TARDIS Console Room

31 March, 2010 (14:46) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

With the release of the new Radio Times, we’ve gotten our first (and quite a detailed) look at the new console room set for Matt Smith’s Doctor.
There’s plenty of pictures now up on the Radio Times website and I love what we’re seeing.  The console itself has more of a steampunk feel than the organic [...]

Green Lantern #52

31 March, 2010 (11:36) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

The last Blackest Night issue of Green Lantern picks up straight after the reveals in Blackest Night #7, with Hal and co standing with the new White Lantern: Sinestro.
Backstory is the name of the game in this issue. With the white entity revealed in Blackest Night, this issue takes the opportunity to tie it [...]

Green Lantern Corps #46

27 March, 2010 (12:56) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

Now this was a packed issue.  Representing the last entry into Blackest Night for the Green Lantern Corps title, this issue, if anything, felt a little rushed, as a lot was crammed in before the final Blackest Night #8.
The various Lantern Corps in orbit (as seen in the preview) manage to thin out the numbers [...]

New Doctor Who Trailer

27 March, 2010 (01:53) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

A new edit of the series Fnarg/1/5/31 trailer appeared on Jonathan Ross tonight.  God it looks so brilliant “One day that’ll work”.
The clip with the library card that led up to that line as well was just fantastic.  I really can’t understate how much I’m looking forward to seeing Smith’s first full series at this [...]

Batman Beyond Returns

26 March, 2010 (09:13) | Comics | By: Alan

The official DC blog, The Source, has posted up this story about the return of Batman Beyond.
The return of Terry McGuiness has been hotly rumoured for a while now.  DC had always said “No” for years, and then mysteriously swapped that to “wait and see” last year, which hinted something was in the works.
It’ll be [...]

Batman and Robin #10

18 March, 2010 (13:31) | Comics | By: Alan

As it says in the solicits, “The Return of Bruce Wayne starts here!”.  And boy, does it.
I’ve not read all of Morrison’s previous run on Batman, but I’ve read enough of the trades, and RIP itself to appreciate exactly how good this issue is.   Here we start to see Morrison’s masterplan unfurling, bringing together [...]

The Doomsday Machine

16 March, 2010 (21:39) | Gaming | By: Alan

So typically, the night after I make a blog post hoping for more Classic Trek fan-pleasing stuff turning up in Star Trek Online, look what I bump into.  Awesome
Sadly it went down a little easy, as long as you avoided the front of it whenever it fired.  You get special torpedoes which when [...]

“A Question.”

16 March, 2010 (14:13) | Gaming | By: Alan

Its things like this that make tie-in games great.  Throwing in things that are blatantly fan-pleasing may be an easy move but there’s no denying its also hugely effective
This mission ticks all the boxes.  Miral Paris (daughter of Voyager’s Tom Paris and Belanna Torres) has been kidnapped by genetically-modified Klingons.  Said Klingons then [...]

Green Lantern #46 Preview

15 March, 2010 (11:10) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

Sadly, Green Lantern Corps has been pushed back a week.  Not sure why, but in the meantime, IGN have put up a preview to tide us over.
Its certainly full of the same kind of manic, character-filled action we’ve come to expect from the GLC title during this event (and event before with the riot on [...]

Green Lantern Corps #45

8 March, 2010 (09:51) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

With the Black Lanterns on Oa dealt with by Mogo, and the GLC due to make the leap to Earth in time for Blackest Night #7, its no surprise that the focus of this issue is dealing with Guy’s red ring infection.
And again, its ultimately Mogo that comes to the rescue, as he forces Guy [...]
