Awesome Sci-fi

It’s official: Ukrainian-developed Metro 2033 has been picked up to THQ; it’s a Russian version of Fallout, albeit with recent technology that’s more on par with Modern Warfare 2.

Putting the Halo in Halloween, Pete Mander’s Covenant Elite costume also puts anything we’ve ever fielded to shame; it features joystick-operated top and bottom mandibles.

The deadly void of space has never looked more beautiful with this nearly soundless trailer for Shattered Horizon; 100% in-game footage, it’s packed with sweet zero-g combat.

Winston Classic Creation’s 12″ Space Adam mixes Flash Gordon with Planet of the Apes; the attention to detail here is bananas, with a detailed space suit and 20 points of articulation.

We enjoyed the Arena Battle clip, but this Astro Boy vs. Peacekeeper video gives us exactly what we want: a giant robot on not-so-giant robot, city-leveling slugfest (with butt guns).

The Alien side in Sega’s Aliens vs. Predator (due out Spring 2010) gets some face-hugging time with this Alien reveal trailer; Predators and Marines = green eggs and ham.

One year after its debut teaser, AureaSection has released a second Naumauchia teaser in glorious HD; it’s a space combat game with up to 8 players and is due out later this year.

Filmed with the RED ONE, Riese is a dystopic steampunk web series about a girl and her wolf; it’s also a sci-fi who’s who with a cast from Stargate, BSG, Smallville and Sanctuary.

Rumored to use the Unreal 3 engine, Dust 514 is an MMOFPS that’s part of the EVE universe; swapping boots instead of battlecruisers, the trailer above feels like BSG on a micro scale.

This Big Damn Replica of Serenity is easily the greatest in all the ‘verse: it’s a 1:180 film quality build with 250 parts, hand painted graphics and is signed by Nathan Fillion. Thanks, Colin!

Alfa Romeo’s Mito supermini almost looks too cute to play defender, at least until it opens a can of whoop ass on gas pumps in this Space Invaders TV ad; it’s directed by Spy Films.

Obliterate that writer’s block with a Martian raygun (or wizard’s blast): David Malki’s Genre-Fiction Generator is a Mad Libs-style flow chart for science fiction and fantasy writers.

Watch all 20 minutes of Turbo (we previewed it here) for free online; it’s a mashup of Tron and The Karate Kid and was shot using a RED camera by USC film school students.

It just wants to give you a kiss: this Alien Facehugger Plush features a wire skeleton to maximize grip on the skull and ensure that chests everywhere will be bursting with love.

This latest Arena Clip from Astro Boy isn’t quite as exciting as the Metro City clip, but it gives us a taste of robot-on-robot combat (Little Stinker FTW!); the movie hits theaters 10/23.

Debuting tonight (10/2) on SyFy, this second trailer for Stargate Universe might as well be the first: if grittiness and character development a-la BSG are your cup of tea, drink up.
