Apparently we're not the only ones eagerly anticipating GTA V, well, according to Take 2's rocketing share price anyway. To keep your appetite whet, Rockstar's punted out yet more lust-worthy wallpaper fodder for you to download and pick apart. What does it all mean? Read More >>

This image is so unreal that it feels like a sci-fi illustration more than a photo. It looks like part of a spaceship—perhaps some structure from an Imperial Star Destroyer—instead of the 1,000-ton deckhouse of the United States' new destroyer USS Zumwalt. Read More >>

If the teasertrailers didn't sate your lust for all-out Star Trek action, then these new screens should do. I guess having gotten all the scene setting and back story related to the reboot out the way, there's nothing more to do than push the stellar sci-fi action to the limit.
