Years ago, when Stargate: SG-1 was still in its prime (and on the air), JoWood, MGM and a Sydney studio called Perception got together to make a game based on the franchise, called Stargate SG-1: The Alliance. Sufficed to say, it never saw the light of day, the project stricken by all sorts of problems and legal shenanigans. Eventually, in 2007, JoWood tried to take the game and the rights to it from Perception. The studio won the fight but the game was never released.
Stargate Universe had finally started to grow on me when it got cancelled. Particularly Eli — the wiz-kid who joined the ship after solving a problem in an online game (yeah I loved The Last Starfighter too). In Sydney over the weekend, David Blue explained how his Xbox saved his audition, and why it’s kind of ironic that his Skyrim Dark Elf looks like Christopher Walken.
After the announcement that Syfy was not interested in 3rd season ofStargate Universe, internet rumours have been popping up all over claiming that SGU is far from dead (mostly fostered by the show creators themselves). Can SGU live again?
While you wait for Stargate Worlds, the MMO based on the movie-turned-hit-TV-show, you might want to give StargateTC 2 a whirl. It’s a multiplayer mod for Half-Life 2 featuring the Tauris (humans) against the Goa’uld. Along with classic weapons such as the P90 and Beretta, players can wield energy staves and coujafs (Goa’uld knives, I believe).
Worth a look-see if Team Fortress 2 or Counter-Strike is getting all boring and whatnot. I know I stopped playing them ages ago.
