Gamers, have you ever looked in the sci-fi aisle of your bookstore and wondered how there could possibly be
novels set in the worlds of "Gears of War" or "Doom," but nothing in the
richly imagined distopia of Bioshock? Have you fed your Art Deco obsession with
Ryan-inspired fan fiction, wishing for something more? Wish no longer: Bram Stoker Award winner, sci-fi novelist, punk rocker, Blue Oyster Cult lyricist, etc.
John Shirley has written the first official BioShock novel, "
BioShock: Rapture," which hit store shelves yesterday. An excerpt of the book, which is a prequel to the first game, is
offered here from publisher Tor.

Fox have offocially
announced that Ridley Scott has officially
signed on to direct the new 'Alien' prequel. He certainly did a great job on the
original but can he match his previous truimph? Given the number of
projects he has in gestation (heh) maybe any celebration is premature...

A look at the (likely terrible) CGI
Star Wars prequel hitting theaters this autumn.
The "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" movie is expected to run around 100 minutes and pick up between episode II and III. Anakin Skywalker is not yet Darth Vader. The story will then continue in 30-minute smallscreen installments.

Some sort of insanity must have possessed
this guy, making him think he could write a
prequel trilogy to Roger Zelazny's classic
Amber series (ahem, not
this one). Most
reviewers agree--and you can
read for yourself--that it's not very good. All this, and the fact that the
Sci-Fi Channel also has
sinister plans for the property means that there are only one or two nails left to be driven into the coffin of my childhood. Hooray!
