The question of vampires is a tricky one for us but having watched the newly released extended gameplay trailer (warning - the gore factor is high) for upcoming Evil West, we think this title just sneaks across the line as part sci-fi.

A wild west vampire hunting action game it manages to cross our line courtesy of futuristic steampunk player weaponry.

In what we think is a first us, we're bringing you news of a kids video game DC League of Super-Pets: The Adventures of Krypto and Ace which has released a short clip.

Playing a flying dog with laser beam eyes sounds crazy cool. Bit of a shame this one is designed for kids.

Taking a scroll through new titles on Paramount+ we stumbled across CW's Tom Swift. The titular character is a gay, black billionaire spaceship inventor. Sounds a bit sci-fi. We pressed play.

It quickly became apparent why this series hadn't shown up on our sci-fi radar. Tom Swift is soap opera with some extremely light sci-fi dressing.

Game giveaways are becoming increasingly commonplace and not typically something we bother commenting on but Amazon have announced the Mass Effect Legendary Edition will be available for Amazon Prime members to claim on July 12-13 (US).

Coinciding with the release of sinister human drug experimentation comedy Spiderhead, Netflix have published a trailer for How to Change Your Mind, a four part documentary series about the psychedelic drugs LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and mescaline.

With the new season of Westworld fast approaching, HBO have released a trailer which true to the series, mystifies.

There's also no sign of James Marsden who was recently confirmed to be returning.

In a video interview with Vanity Fair, Chris Hemsworth talks about both his appearance in J. J. Abrams' first Star Trek film and the possibility of his reprising the role.

Sort of. Maybe. Possibly.

Series creator executive producer, writer, and voice actor in cancelled after its third season adult animated series Final Space Olan Rogers has launched a Kickstarter campaign to make an animated short plus a six part behind the scenes making of web docuseries.

They've already raised enough money to make those and the first few stretch goals.

HBO have announced a new animated series in development called Scavenger's Reign and released a teaser for it.

The premise sounds like an oft-used one in sci-fi survival games - crash landing on an alien world and not dieing.

FX (formerly Fox) have released a five minute compilation clip of vampires versus technology from the freshly renewed for a fifth and sixth What We Do in the Shadows.

For all that it's not a show we think of as sci-fi with its present day setting and lack of a sci-fi element to their version of vampirism, we include them here and it's a great show.
