Last year, we reported that Universal was working on a new adaptation of the hit video game Doom. Today, we have the first images (via Dread Central) from the movie. Titled Doom: Annihilation, the straight-to-video movie promises to be an action-packed flick that honors the game. Written and directed by Tony Giglio (S.W.A.T.: Under Siege), Doom: Annihilation centers on a group of marines as they respond to a distress call from a base on a Martian moon, only to discover it’s been overrun by demonic creatures who threaten to create Hell on Earth. Amy Manson (”Atlantis”), Luke Allen-Gale (“Dominion”), Dominic Mafham (Ophelia), and Nina Bergman (The Car: Road to Revenge) star in the movie executive produced by Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (Bumblebee), and John Wells (“Animal Kingdom”).

24 Hour Game-A-Thon For Charity This Weekend!

Video Games and Cons for charity? YES! The first ever Grubby Games Convention (GG Con) will be held at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology this weekend (November 3-4) to raise money for Regional Health’s Children’s Miracle Network. The acronym for the con is quite fitting, in the gaming world (especially in multiplayer games) typing “GG” in the game’s chat or saying “GG” in voice chat means “Good Game” and is commonly said by all players to either show there are no hard feelings towards their opponents OR that they really enjoyed the game. The highlight of the event is the “League of Legends” state championship 24-hour game-a-thon being held in the Frasier Gymnasium in the King Center starting at 3 PM Saturday and ending at 3 PM Sunday. The championship is between SD Mines (who’s hosting the event), South Dakota State University, Dakota State University, and Black Hills State University. Along with the main event being the

‘The SNES Omnibus: The Super Nintendo and Its Games’ Is A Nostalgic Treasure Map

I sat down with a hefty book for a nice afternoon of reading (Yes I DO read, I don’t play video games all the time!). I read through Brett Weiss’s “The SNES Omnibus: The Super Nintendo and Its Games, Vol. 1 (A–M)” from Schiffer Publishing. This coffee table book is amazing! The book has more than 2,000 colored images showing off the majesty of over 350 SNES titles! What is amazing about this book is how much it’s a trip down memory lane for me. I did not play SNES growing up so I missed out on a lot of these games but I remember the box art and advertising posters when I would go rent movies! A lot of the games in this book were based on TV shows I watched when I was younger and forgot about! Many of the titles shown will seem familiar to many as these were the first installments in current series played and

2 ½ Minutes To Midnight

The famed “Doomsday Clock” is ticking ever so close to the infamous “Midnight” where the complete annihilation of mankind would occur. The figurative clock was created in 1947 after the world saw the results of the two nuclear bombings in Japan that ended the Second World War. The clock was set up as a sort of reminder to the public around the world to make people aware of factors that could possibly bring about a nuclear holocaust. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists released a statement Wednesday announcing the movement of the clock’s hands stating that this was the first time the clock has been this close to Midnight since 1953 after both the United States and the Soviet Union tested their nuclear weapons ushering in the Cold War and ticking the clock to 2 minutes to midnight. Other destructive factors contribute to why the clock ticks ever so closer. One of the factors this time around is Earth’s rising

A DOOM-ed Reboot

It’s not actually doomed. I just really, really wanted to make that pun. In fact, it’s quite the opposite of doomed. After years of silence and turmoil about the game, it has finally started to poke it’s head out of the ground. All thanks to Bethesda Softworks for jumping in to publish it. A trailer was released at this years E3, and while no official release date has been set, we should see it within the first half of 2016. It’s still definitely a Doom game, complete with hellspawn, devastating weaponry and oodles of buckets of blood. And with today’s tech, we get badder hellspawn, bigger weapons and that satisfying sound of blood spatter drenching the walls of the UAC facilities. Those of you that have played Doom since the beginning will be glad to hear they are moving forward with a more fast paced shooting game, much like the original. Where Doom3 had us hiding around corners, looking out
