Awesome Sci-fi

This Vanguard trailer for Mass Effect 2 amps up the Adept/Soldier with a wicked dash/warp move (think Sonic meets Hadouken); also glimpsed: heat-sink discharge and on-suit meters.

Priceline Shatner would name his own price, but you can’t beat Shatnerquake author Jeff Burk’s offer: his bizarro-cool sci-fi opus about alt-universe Shatners will be free on his website 11/17.

New York and Tokyo go the way of Venice in Aqualta, a series of images that depicts the cities after sea levels rise; life goes on, albeit with blimps, ski lifts, catwalks, and gondolas.

This Mechanics trailer gives us our first substantial look at Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight’s gameplay; let’s just say “Mechanics” stands more for Mechs than Mammoth Tanks.
