Those of us still waiting for a true Master of Orion successor should check out StarBaron; it’s a space-themed RTS that isn’t too complex, making it ideal for a lunch break romp.

Video: Evolution of Tech

Video: Evolution of Tech

Created for Saturn (think Best Buy for Germans), Evolution of Technology mixes robots and biology to explain survival of the fittest; apparently, we all evolve into hot, blue-skinned babes.

Firefly fans may be far and few, but we’re a rabid, Pax-immune bunch: Serenity is coming to Blu-ray, and it’s filled with goodies including 5.1 lossless audio, extra scenes and commentary.

Eve: Quantum Rise

Eve: Quantum Rise

This Eve Online trailer for the Quantum Rise expansion lays it on thick, with “breaking news” of a surprise invasion. The real star of the show: enhanced stability and gameplay tweaks.

Your girl is probably not gonna talk to you for a few days, but this kitschy Alien Abduction Lamp Concept is geek decor at its finest; you can even choose from bovine and human abductees.

A perfect match for the Dog Tags we featured earlier, this Invaders t-shirt by gamer-friendly apparel brand J!NX brings back old-school arcade days; note: it’s selling fast, so order soon.

Artwork: Nekro

Artwork: Nekro

One look at Nekro’s darkly futuristic pieces and we had to feature him; aka Borja Fresco Costal, this Spain-based artist sticks with a largely monochrome palette with strategic bursts of color.

Star Wars/Trek Origami

Star Wars/Trek Origami
Buy

We never could fold one of those damned origami swans, so Won Park’s Star Wars and Star Trek Origami handily puts our skills to shame; they’re made with one dollar bills.

Space Invaders Cufflinks

Space Invaders Cufflinks
Buy

We really dig these Space Invaders Cufflinks; they’re simple and straightforward, made with sterling silver and feature a mirror-polish base. The invaders themselves are menacing in matte.

Physics Invader may not look like much at first, but it’s actually been coded to simulate physical laws, complete with falling debris that can block your shots (and act as impromptu shields).

Trailer: MBX

Trailer: MBX

Sanskrit epics and techno-fantasy blend awesomely in this teaser for MBX; it was conceived by acclaimed comic artist Grant Morrison under Liquid Comics (formerly Virgin Comics).

X3: Terran Conflict

X3: Terran Conflict

It’s been two years since the X3 series has seen an update; X3: Terran Conflict is available at Steam as a standalone expansion, and judging from the sweet trailer above it’s a winner.

Trailer: Watchmen

Trailer: Watchmen

Revealed at yesterday’s Spike Awards, this latest Watchmen trailer isn’t too different from previous ones, but it does squeeze in a nice nuclear makeout scene; it comes out 3/6/09.

Much love for no-DRM devs Stardock, whose Sins of a Solar Empire will be getting its Entrenchment expansion soon. You’ll not only get new cap ships, but gigantic starbases as well.

Galactica Case Mod

Galactica Case Mod

Calling Admiral Adama: this Battlestar Galactica case sports an actual LED-lit hangar bay, CIC screens, and a BSG crest that doubles as an optical drive; even the monitor is modded.

Art: John Berkey

Art: John Berkey

Although he sadly passed this year, John Berkey’s futuristic paintings are photorealistic from a distance but painterly up-close; his works will no doubt inspire future artists.

Trailer: Naumachia

Trailer: Naumachia

The trailer could be clearer, but we like what we see with indie-developed Naumachia, a multiplayer space-combat sim; they’re currently working on the alpha and looking for investors.
