Halo is one of the most popular shooters in the world, and a great science fiction franchise to boot. It should come as no surprise then that weapons are the star of the show in the Halo universe. Pulling from standard human weaponry to exotic alien armaments, these are my favorite Halo weapons. Battle Rifle…
X-Wing. Tie Fighter. The Millennium freakin Falcon. The space ships in the Star Wars universe are some of the most memorable spacecraft in all of science fiction, often copied, but rarely surpassed. Every ship is a character in its own right, with a distinct look and personality that demands for it to be remembered. Here…
Growing up without the knowledge database that is the internet or a subscription to a gaming magazine, I played a ton of not so great games back in the day. Not that I cared, or even noticed how terrible they really were. As a result, some of my fondest gaming memories are of games that…
Traveling through space is standard fare in the majority of science fiction. Mundane but important, space travel allows characters to explore new worlds, engage in daring space battles, or flee from a troubled past. Just as in real life, many vehicles simply don’t catch the eye. We’ve seen them all before, a hundred times a…
Bounty Hunters are a staple of popular science fiction. Bad-ass, tough as nails, guns for hire who don’t take crap from anybody and only looking to get paid, they capture our imagination. But who are the worst of the worst in this elite club of galactic rogues? Here are my picks for science fiction’s best…
The moans and groans of undead monsters are always present as I crawl through this now decimated town hunting for supplies. I make my way into an abandoned church, and luckily enough it turns out to be my saving grace. Inside I find a can of sardines, which I quickly eat to fight off my…
I apparently have a knack for really enjoying games that are destined to never receive a sequel. Take for instance one of my favorite fighting games of all time – Primal Rage, a game that by all accounts was a success yet not enough so to receive a second entry. It’s not hard to see…
Godzilla is the King of the Monsters, of that there is no doubt. Starring in over 28 films (29 including the 1998 American reboot) Godzilla has had more than his fair share of city destroying, monster fighting experience. But he’s not done yet. Comic Con 2012 proved an exciting time for Godzilla fans around the…
Giant monsters normally don’t need any help to accomplish their city destroying, fire breathing rampages, but these do. A Kickstarter for an ambitious monster mash up game is in the works, but it won’t see the light of day unless Kaiju fans unite and make it happen. Need convincing? Here are some reasons why Kaiju…
Out of the vast science fiction library, every once in a while a book will come along that becomes an instant classic. A novel that captures the imagination, evokes emotion, and stirs thought in the reader about what could be. For me, these are the novels that do just that – novels that define science…
A great book often inspires a movie (often worse than the book). Some books get songs inspired by them, or even entire concept albums. Of course this being a science fiction and fantasy blog, I’ve gathered up the best songs inspired by some of fantasy and science fictions greatest works. To Take the Black –…
Star Wars games have a long history. For the longest time the vast majority of Star Wars games were exceptional, games such as X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Dark Forces and the Super Star Wars series. But alas, as the prequels came to fruition Star Wars games would never be the same. The quantity of Star Wars…
