Since Ron Moore’s Battlestar Galactica went off the air a few years ago, there have been plenty of fans with a critical response as to the way the storylines got wrapped up and had a less-than impressive ending.

Now, through the genius of College Humor, they have managed to sum up all 4 seasons of the epic sci-fi series into a simple RPG circa the mid 1990s. With all of the wonderful text-based options to boot.

So if you were a fan of the series, or not so much, you will thoroughly enjoy this video game satire. If only it were real…Take a look after the jump.

Superheroes are huge now, incase you weren’t up to speed. With films like Dark Knight and Spider-Man making over a billion dollars in the worldwide box office, that means you’re going to see movie and TV studios make bolder decisions that lean towards comic book properties that could bring eyeballs (and dollar signs) to their company.

That’s just what Syfy is looking to do, as they have ordered a script from Greg Berlanti, who wrote Green Lantern, as well as helped shape the story of ABC’s Modern Family, which will focus on DC’s anti-hero from the future, Booster Gold. THR has the report.

The story will center on Booster Gold, a washed-up athlete from the future who travels back to the present in hopes of becoming the greatest super hero of all time. Instead of chasing criminals, however, his main priority is chasing fame and money. But Booster Gold discovers that being a hero takes more than just a megawatt smile, and that the future doesn’t happen without first protecting the present.

You know what’s missing on TV these days? A movie where a Yeti kills a bunch of people and attractive people who you would never believe were actual scientists hunt the creature and try to destory it.

Well, wish granted because that’s just what Syfy has done with their upcoming TV movie Rage of the Yeti. Yes, you read that right. It’s a movie about a Yeti with anger management issues. Awesome, that’s the only way to describe it.

Don’t believe us and want proof that this movie really exists? Happy to oblige ’cause we’ve got previews.

In the first clip, a Yeti comes out of the snowy shadows and charges towards the team. The Yeti sets his sights on one of the characters and knocks him over. While he scrambles to get up, he tries to ward off the Yeti with a flare. Sadly, it has no effect and the Yeti drags him off into the blizzard.

In the second clip, the team calls for medical help after several members are injured and missing after a Yeti attack. While trying to escape, two team members are charged by a Yeti and they are only able to scare it away after they fire off multiple rounds.

Check out both clips after the break. Rage of the Yeti, which stars David Chokachi and Yancy Butler (so you know it’s good), premieres Saturday at 9/8C only on Syfy.

It was less than a week ago that Syfy announced its long running series Eureka would get a six episode season six order and that those six episodes would be the last for the series. Then, Syfy apparently had a change of heart and announced Eureka would not get six episodes for a final season and instead would end after this season.

Now, things have apparently changed yet again. Syfy has announced, and Deadline has confirmed, that Eureka will get one more episode after current episodes air to properly wrap up the series.

According to reports, Syfy executives called the cast to apologize for the conflicting decisions over the past week, which included a six-episode final-season order, followed by no-final-season announcement and then the additional episode pickup. Well, at least they apologized, which is nice.

Reports are that the six-episode order was overruled by the new post-merger management as the series was getting expensive after 5 seasons and has enough finished episodes. Most affected are some crew members who turned down job offers last week when Eureka was picked up for 6 more episodes only to find out later that wasn’t happening. I bet they didn’t get a call from Syfy executives.

At least the network still has other cool shows like Warehouse 13 and Alphas which, after a bit of a slow start, is getting better and better.

Do you love all the shows on Syfy like Warehouse 13, Alphas, Eureka and more but are very sad you missed Comic-Con in San Diego and all the great trailers for your favorite shows? We know how you feel. Well, we were at Comic-Con but we do know how it feels to miss stuff. Firefly anyone?

Fortunately, thanks to our pals at Syfy, we’ve got you covered — at least in the cool trailers department. How? Well, we’ve got all the great trailers for all the cool Syfy shows seen only by the folks at Comic-Con right here for you today.

That’s right, all the scoop on the upcoming seasons of Eureka, Alphas, Warehouse 13, Being Human and Sanctuary can be yours. All you have to do is have faith and click your mouse.

Check them all out after the jump. Catch all these shows, and more, on Syfy each and every week.

With all the previews for the upcoming Syfy show Alphas we seem to run around here, you would think we’re producing the show ourselves. Sadly, no, we’re just reporting on it for you.

Not only that, it does seem pretty cool and has a very good cast, including film and TV veteran David Strathairn. Plus, it was co-created and written by comic book movie mainstay Zak Penn so we’re also interested because of that fact.

To help get you ready for all the fun, we’ve got another batch of previews for the pilot episode and the first episode of the series.

The series, in case you’re not familiar, is a procedural thriller about ordinary people with extraordinary mental and physical abilities that operate within a special branch of the Department of Defense and are tasked to investigate cases committed by others with Alpha abilities.

Recently, we brought you some pics and a preview of the upcoming Syfy series Alphas. Now, the network has sent over even more videos to entice you and we being the good folks we are, we’re bringing them right to you.

The series, created and written by comic book movie writer Zak Penn (X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers) and Michael Karnow, may seem a bit familiar to you, as we discussed before. And again, I’m not sure that matters if its done well.

Here’s the details so you can judge for yourself:

The series is a procedural thriller about ordinary people with extraordinary mental and physical abilities that operate within a special branch of the Department of Defense and are tasked to investigate cases committed by others with Alpha abilities. Emmy® winner and Academy Award nominee David Strathairn (Temple Grandin/Good Night, and Good Luck) headlines a cast of both familiar and new faces including Warren Christie (October Road), Malik Yoba (New York Undercover), Laura Mennell (Watchmen), Ryan Cartwright (Bones) and Azita Ghanizada (Castle).

Syfy has seen fit to send us some info, pics and a trailer for a new series dubuting on the network in July. The series, created and written by comic book movie writer Zak Penn (X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers) and Michael Karnow, may seem a bit familiar to you.

However, that doesn’t make it bad. Besides, Penn is a smart guy, I’m sure he can make it work.

Here are the details from Syfy so you can judge for yourself:

The series is a procedural thriller about ordinary people with extraordinary mental and physical abilities that operate within a special branch of the Department of Defense and are tasked to investigate cases committed by others with Alpha abilities.

Emmy® winner and Academy Award nominee David Strathairn (Temple Grandin/Good Night, and Good Luck) headlines a cast of both familiar and new faces including Warren Christie (October Road), Malik Yoba (New York Undercover), Laura Mennell (Watchmen), Ryan Cartwright (Bones) and Azita Ghanizada (Castle).

And yes, Callum Keith Rennie of Battlestar Galactica, 24 and late of The Killing guest stars in the pilot. That guy ends up in lots of things. Why don’t they just let him be a series regular in something? Doesn’t seem fair.

Check out the trailer and some pics after the break. Catch Alphas in action July 11 at 10/9c on Syfy.

What happens when you take some of the minds attached to Caprica, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Universe and Torchwood and place them in the world based on the popular game franchise Red Faction? Pure amazement.

Introducing the brand new Syfy film Red Faction: Origins. For those diehards out there, this story takes place between Red Faction: Guerrilla and the upcoming Red Faction: Armageddon games. Here’s the premise.

Twenty-five years have passed since Alec Mason (Robert Patrick) led the Martian Colonies to freedom …and 12 years since vengeful enemies killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter Lyra (Tamzin Merchant), and left a broken hero in their wake.

Jake Mason (Brian J. Smith), Alec’s last surviving son and an officer in the Red Faction Militia, has his world turned inside out when he discovers that now, 12 years after her kidnapping, his sister is still alive.  As a powerful new enemy swarms across the planet, Jake goes out to find her, only to learn that his lost sister is one of them…a cold-blooded soldier sworn to destroy the Red Faction.

Jake must now battle the relentless regime and somehow reunite a family torn apart by war. Kate Vernon portrays The Matriarch, leader of the tribal Marauders sect.

Directed by Peabody-Award winner Michael Nankin (Caprica, Battlestar Galactica, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), the film is set to make its premiere on Saturday, June 4th at 9pm ET/PT.

Take a look at the very first trailer after the jump.

Before you flip away thinking this is just another trailer for Marvel’s upcoming blockbuster due in theaters next week, think again. This gem comes from Asylum, the studio that brought us such films as Titanic 2 and Transmorphers. That’s right, this is the official Syfy movie dedicated to the God of Thunder.

A few differentiators for this one (aside from the obvious budget) is the interesting casting for the film. Filling in for the villainous Loki is 21 Jump Street star Richard Grieco, alongside The Mummy star Patricia Velasquez and former professional wrestler Kevin Nash as Odin, king of the gods.

Those looking for a replacement for Chris Hemsworth will be met with Cody Deal as the titular thunder god. You may remember him in such shining roles as Roman Soldier at Caesar’s Palace in The Hangover or Strip Club Patron in Get Him To The Greek. Rich stuff.

Luckily for Asylum, the tale of Thor is that of mythology, so Marvel doesn’t have much legal ground here. We’ll have to see exactly how close the film plays to the comic or it’s adaptation when it hits the Syfy channel on May 7th at 9pm. In the meantime, you can check out the trailer after the jump.

Syfy has already hit it out of the park with reality shows like Destination Truth and Face Off, but there is one show that we can’t wait for, which returns next week. That show is, of course, Urban Legends.

We’ve got a sneak peek at the upcoming season 3 premiere, titled “Best Laid Plans”, but before we get to that, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to see.

In the Syfy series, underscoring the art of storytelling, Urban Legends asks its viewers to decipher fact from fiction.  Three tall tales are dramatically recreated and the audience must decide which is real from these stories of astronomical proportion. In the sneak peek clip of the Season Premiere of Urban Legends, a man is held at gunpoint on his own living room floor by men that look to be on the SWAT team based on their gear and clothes.

The man being held against his will can’t figure out the reasoning for the invasion in his own home, and soon realizes his two dogs have been killed and his mother-in-law has been thrown to the ground.  He sees police standing outside of his house and realizes this is no ordinary invasion while trying to reason with the masked men in telling them he hasn’t done anything wrong and that he’s the mayor.  The masked men think he must be crazy for claiming such a thing, and it all leads to an unmarked box.

Enticed? Take a look at the preview after the jump and catch the upcoming premiere on Monday at 10/9C on Syfy.
