Awesome Leisure

Taito’s Space Invaders: Infinity Gene is coming soon to the iPhone/iPod Touch; the retro shooter actually evolves as you play it, thanks to an Evolutionary Tree system.

This SDCC ’09 What’s New trailer for Left 4 Dead 2 shows off the game’s new infected (the spitter is gonna be a pain for campers), weapons (grenade launcher FTW) and locations.

We’d prefer ninjas, but this Pirates vs. Castle Foosball table is an awesome alternative to run-of-the-mill sports tables; it’s almost entirely made of LEGO pieces, down to the handles.

We finally get some decent gameplay footage of Jack Black/Eddie Rigs in this Combat trailer for Brutal Legend; it looks totally metal, with axe swingin’, riff power-ups and more.

Inspired by the work of Marvel’s Ariel Olivetti, this Venom Comiquette is one ugly mofo; the hand-painted and finished polystone statue stands 13″, weighs 10 lbs and will ship 1Q 2010.

It won’t force push (unless you include the Padawan turncoat), but Darth Vader’s battery-less Robotic Arm is made with 45 snap-together parts and can extend, turn and grasp objects.

The deep south and the cold north get together for Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka; Drinkhacker loves the stuff, which is essentially 70-proof iced tea that goes down ridiculously easy.

Samus shines again in this Metroid Prime Trilogy gameplay trailer; it includes the first two Gamecube games reworked for the Wii along with MP3 and is due out August 24th.

It’s the same teaser shown at last year’s SDCC, but we’re genuinely excited for Tron Legacy: Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn but brings his son along for the ride.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed comes to the PC and Mac this Fall with Ultimate Sith Edition; it adds three new levels that’ll let you take on Obi-Wan, Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker.

If you were wondering how Band Hero, Activision’s almost-Guitar Hero would work on the DS, wonder no more: it’ll get both drum and finger-grip guitar attachments and a vocal mode.

Travel need not be trite for educated tourists: The Geek Atlas is a guide to 128 brainy worldwide destinations, including Bletchley Park, Alan Turing’s Memorial and the Trinity Test Site.

We’re all aware of Dragon Age’s bloodiness, but the dwarves seem particularly well-suited to maximizing sanguinity at every swing of the axe: it’s always a good day to bleed.

Halo Legends is a direct-to-video, short story anime series (think Animatrix) with noteworthy roots: WB, Microsoft, as well as the directors for Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell and more.

Sophisticated and impeccably geeky, these NES Controller Business Card Cases are a must for beta testers, game devs and button mashing aficionados; they’ll ship late October.

This Lab Level gameplay trailer for Splosion Man is strangely addictive; anyone who likes fiery wanton destruction and big band, spy thriller-style music will definitely have a blast.
