LEGO Indiana Jones 2 gets more characters, vehicles and settings over the original, but here’s what really knocks our blocks off: for the first time, you’ll get to design your own levels.

Get behind the scenes of Halo 3: ODST’s epic live-action trailer with this Making Of featurette; factoid: the uniforms were made by Saving Private Ryan’s costume designer.

It’s old hat for iPhone and iPod users, but PSP owners can get a crack at Fieldrunners today in the new Minis section of the Playstation Store; it’ll include new maps, towers and runners.

Destructible environments, sick particle effects, and profanity aplenty: this Multiplayer Moments trailer for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is so realistic we were hard pressed not to duck.

The initial teaser was too short to feature, but this storyline trailer for Front Mission Evolved fleshes out the plot with new cinematics and gives us a sneak peek at gameplay.

While we’re still not out of the uncanny valley with Heavy Rain, it’s as close as we’ve ever seen for a real-time game; this gameplay trailer runs through four possible scenarios.

Alright, so it’s not a real movie, but this parody trailer for Dig Dug is effectively framed as a horror movie; it’s brought to us from the same folks who made Inglourious Plummers.

While the trailer is kind of weak, we’re digging these first ever screenshots from the Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising expansion; new terrain and Chaos Space Marines, oh, the Heresy!

Although most of Dragon Age: Origin’s previous trailers have used heavy metal, this Music featurette gives us a peek at a far more epic, sweeping score a-la Lord of the Rings.

Dr. Nefarious makes his debut in this Supervillain trailer for Ratchet & Clank Future: CT; he’s not subtle or mature, but he gets 2/5 with a trusty sidekick and skull-cracking laughter.

It’s no Hollywood blockbuster, but what Hive Division lacks in budget they make up for with passion in Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy; this first part of three runs just under an hour.

You’ll need 350 Club Nintendo coins to afford it, but The Legend of Zelda 3-poster set calls out to Link fans; it includes History of Link, Phantom Hourglass and Twilight Princess prints.

Even if you don’t understand Japanese, you’d really have to be soulless to not get excited by this 7 minute Final Fantasy XIII trailer; it’s stuffed to the gills cinematics and gameplay.

NSFW profanity. With a mouth that makes Christian Bale’s on-set blow-up seem tame, Claptrap takes the director’s seat in this hilarious Making Of mockumentary for Borderlands.

If you don’t mind getting your senses obliterated, this TGS 09 trailer for Bayonetta delivers fast-paced J-pop music, explosive visuals and nonsensical dialog–often all at once.

Doug Haffner’s Steampunk Arcade Cabinet is a double-dose of old school; covered with a patina and green backlit Frankenstein photos, it uses MAME on a PC to play arcade games.

Coming to XBLA in 2010, Toy Soldiers is a WWI-themed tower defense game that lets you directly control your defenses; despite the toy premise, the trailer is eerily realistic.

If you’ve been wondering what the heck Ezio’s deal is, this Destiny trailer for Assassin’s Creed II not only fills in the blanks but shows off his bad-guy gutting skills. Thanks, Jasen!

Warning: NSFW profanity. While the humor isn’t always LOL funny, Nocturnal Comedy’s Real Life Paperboy definitely had us waxing nostalgic over coin op and paper routes.

Warning: non-PSP’d heathens best avoid this epic trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, as it has us itching to get one just to drink in the absolutely amazing graphics.

Part OMG and part WTFBBQ, Dead Rising 2’s This Is Reality XVII trailer would make Randy Savage proud: it mashes up WWE, zombie slaying, deer antlers and hamster balls.

This TGS 09 trailer for God of War III might as well be called Kratos’ Best Hits: filled with so much brutality that we winced in pain, it puts anyone with an Olympus address on notice.

This TGS 09 trailer for Final Fantasy XIV starts off pretty somber, right up until 1:40 when Armageddon hits for 20 glorious seconds; we hope some of this is actual gameplay.
