Accompanying SyFy TV show begins on April 15

Trion World's massively multiplayer shooter Defiance will clear the way for its SyFy network TV counterpart on April 2, the developer announced today. The "transmedia experience" (somewhere a marketing team fist pumps) will begin simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Check out our preview coverage to learn more about Defiance's MMO and competitive shooter sides, and see the live-action trailer below to learn more about the ongoing threat of space crabs.

We ask only that you take a moment to consider who is the real monster in this grimy world of all-terrain vehicles and inadvisable barfights.

It's the crabs. Duh.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
