Awesome Sci-fi

Whatever your politics, we like that Sundance winner Sleep Dealer takes risks with modern issues; it presents them in a dystopic thriller that mixes Blade Runner with A Brave New World.

With advanced fighter planes, psychokinetic powers and time travel, Singularity is dishing out awesome by the boatload; this Unreal Engine 3 based FPS is by Raven Software.

BioWare really knows how to leave us wanting more: this teaser for Mass Effect 2 not only slaps a KIA on Commander Shepherd but shows a Geth with his armor… more, please?

The humans are the bad guys in Battle for Terra, an animated flick due out May 1st that pits us against some uber cutesy aliens; the plot is a mashup of Titan A.E., Wall-E and A Bug’s Life.

A haunting soundtrack, epic spaceship-filled vistas and the occasional Star Wars-style screen wipe: this intro does a good job selling EVE Online’s Apocrypha expansion, due out 3/10.

Wii owners with a hankering for polymorphic alien infestations won’t have to wait much longer: Dead Space:Extraction is a FPS prequel of the original and will be on shelves Fall 2009.

The Space Game is a simpler, space-going version of Harvest, both of which are a variant of Tower Defense style games that rely on energy relays and resource extraction.

So-named because of the high-energy lasso you use to fling objects around, Asteroid Cowboys is a crazy mix of Bionic Commando and Asteroids; it’s due out this year on PSN and XBLA.

Part of a Saatchi&Saatchi advertising campaign for the SciFi Channel, Humans Are Among Us has us tickled pink green with these goofy renditions of 50s B-movie posters.

This R2D2 Projector is on the Light Side of The Force, with 1500 lumens, up to 260″ pics at 1024×768; a 20W speaker, CD/DVD player and Millenium Falcon remote. Thanks, Joe!

We have a feeling Arnold would look positively puny next to his gigantic, chaingun-wielding T-600 predecessor, teased above from the upcoming Terminator: Salvation video game.

The plot for Red Faction gets a comprehensive workup in the full trailer above; we’re most impressed by its cinematic qualities, which are on par with previews we’d see in a movie theater.

We’re not sure how long this trailer will stay up, so get it while it’s hot: this latest Star Trek trailer offers a few snippets of a bruised Kirk and the Enterprise with guns ablazin’.

Invented by Sam Kass to reduce the likelihood of ties, this Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock tee introduces a five-way power sharing; Spock vaporizes Rock, but Lizard poisons Spock.

The scenery is a bit barren, but this Dark Void gameplay video looks promising if you’ve ever dreamt of jetpacking around a-la-The Rocketeer (with a bit of God of War thrown in).

Take Predator and Critters and throw in some Viking warriors and you’ve either got the bomb of the summer or an insanely cool sci-fi flick; either way, the Outlander trailer above rocks.

Terminator: Salvation isn’t even out yet, but this T-600 bust from the upcoming movie is already available for preorder; measuring 6″ x 5″ x 5″, we dig the creepy base made out of skulls.

A combined Star Wars, Star Trek and Babylon 5 battle would a sci-fi geekfest of epic proportions; until then, this comparison of spacecraft sizes is a fitting stand-in. Thanks, Kenneth!

Fresh from IMAGI (who brought us the Astro Boy and Gatchman teasers), T-28 is a resurrection of the Tetsujin manga; it hasn’t been picked up by a studio per se, but it sure looks promising.

Even Sith Lords aren’t above the law, as shown by this Mugshot tee complete with Ep. IV birthdate; Darth, next time you take your TIE for a spin up Mulholland, go easy on the Corellian Ale…

Created by freelance artist Joe Nicolosi, Star Wars: Retold is pure cinematic gold; it’s told from the point of view of his friend Amanda, who has never seen an entire Star Wars film.

Straight from the shipyards of Q’onos, this Klingon Keyboard is a standard 105 key with a PS/2 connection (USB is for Federation wussies); just don’t spill any gagh on it, you p’tahk!

We love developers who don’t take themselves too seriously, and Flock! doles it out in bales of wool: this funky action puzzler lets you fly a UFO, abduct sheep and carve crop circles.
