Having done Terminator 2 a while back, Hot Toys have turned their exposed, blood-covered robot eyes towards James Cameron’s original sci-fi classic. What they’ve come up with will not stop until your wallet is dead. WHAT YOU GET IN THE BOX The figure, an extra head, some hands, a pair of sunglasses, a base and…

This is the intro to the almost-out Civilization: Beyond Earth. I hope you weren’t expecting a merry jaunt as humanity smiles its way to the stars along a rainbow made of puppies. Beyond Earth takes place immediately after a space victory in Civilization V, sort of like a direct sequel; where the old game ended…

Bummed out you never got a Rogue Squadron game on the Wii? Maybe you’ll be less bummed out to know that this newly-released footage of the project makes it look fun.
