  • Alien: Covenant, Dir. by Ridley Scott (Twentieth Century Fox, 2017)
    The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 17 (Autumn 2018) Alien: Covenant, dir. by Ridley Scott (Twentieth Century Fox, 2017) Alien: Covenant is the sixth instalment in the much-celebrated and critically acclaimed science-fiction/horror saga initiated in 1979 by Ridley Scott’s Alien and consisting also of James Cameron’s Aliens (1986), David Fincher’s Alien³ (1992), Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Resurrection (1997) and the prequel film Prometheus (Scott, 2012).1 Alien: Covenant is also the twenty-fourth work by the eclectic eighty-year-old British producer and director, whose work has successfully spanned all cinematic genres, from science fiction (Blade Runner, 1982), through costume and historical drama (1492: Conquest of Paradise, 1992, and Kingdom of Heaven, 2005) and fantasy (Legend, 1985), to the detective film (Black Rain, 1989), the road movie (Thelma and Louise, 1991) and comedy (A Good Year, 2006). Covenant is a sequel to Prometheus; the earlier film depicts the search for the origins of the human species by a group of scientists, explorers, and the leading members of the Weyland Corporation, tracing their encounter with a being belonging to the race of the so- called Engineers. In Prometheus, the explorers discover near the end of the film that the last surviving Engineer had been frozen into hyper-sleep thousands of years earlier, preventing him from destroying Earth, a mission that he fortunately does not complete upon awakening. Prometheus is filled with references to religion, specifically Christian beliefs (allegedly, the Engineers’ mission to destroy our planet was ordered around the time of Christ’s death), the creation of life (the protagonist is sterile, but she gives birth to an alien life form), and, in a nod to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818), the horror of a creator refusing his own progeny.

  • IGDA Online Games White Paper Full Version
    IGDA Online Games White Paper Full Version Presented at the Game Developers Conference 2002 Created by the IGDA Online Games Committee Alex Jarett, President, Broadband Entertainment Group, Chairman Jon Estanislao, Manager, Media & Entertainment Strategy, Accenture, Vice-Chairman FOREWORD With the rising use of the Internet, the commercial success of certain massively multiplayer games (e.g., Asheron’s Call, EverQuest, and Ultima Online), the ubiquitous availability of parlor and arcade games on “free” game sites, the widespread use of matching services for multiplayer games, and the constant positioning by the console makers for future online play, it is apparent that online games are here to stay and there is a long term opportunity for the industry. What is not so obvious is how the independent developer can take advantage of this opportunity. For the two years prior to starting this project, I had the opportunity to host several roundtables at the GDC discussing the opportunities and future of online games. While the excitement was there, it was hard not to notice an obvious trend. It seemed like four out of five independent developers I met were working on the next great “massively multiplayer” game that they hoped to sell to some lucky publisher. I couldn’t help but see the problem with this trend. I knew from talking with folks that these games cost a LOT of money to make, and the reality is that only a few publishers and developers will work on these projects. So where was the opportunity for the rest of the developers? As I spoke to people at the roundtables, it became apparent that there was a void of baseline information in this segment.
