Tired of getting pwned by noobs? The Xtensor Hand Exerciser is designed to improve reaction times by rebalancing strength and flexibility; it can also treat tennis elbow and arthritis.

FragFX v.2

FragFX v.2
Buy

The FragFX is a best of all worlds controller for the PS3, with a mouse in one hand and a Wii-like “FragChuk” in the other; v.2 improves sensitivity and buttons on both controllers.

Free: GlueFO 2.0

Free: GlueFO 2.0

GlueFO 2.0 is a sticky remake of Asteroids, where your ammo comes from the targets themselves; although controlling your ship is easy, it’s balanced by the frenetic pace of the game.

Occult Trailer: Wolfenstein

Occult Trailer: Wolfenstein

While Wolfenstein’s first trailer was merely good, this latest Occult Trailer is flat-out fantastic; it’s filled with eye-watering energy weapons, explosions and disintegrating Nazis.

2.5D Mega Man 2

2.5D Mega Man 2

This isn’t the first time Mega Man has dipped his toe in the third dimension, but Peter Sjöstrand’s trippy, swooping 2.5D version of Mega Man 2 stays true to his 8-bit NES roots.

Vampire Lord: Demigod

Vampire Lord: Demigod
Buy

Demigod’s Vampire Lord trailer gives us some juicy gameplay details; you’ll get minions a-la Overlord, tactical “war points” like DoW2, and super zoom-out like Supreme Commander.

Trailer #2: Overlord II

Trailer #2: Overlord II
Buy

We’re really looking forward to the coming of age plot of Overlord II, as revealed in the trailer above; also: a tyranny system which lets you choose between destruction and domination.

Space Invaders Piggy Bank

Space Invaders Piggy Bank

This 1:6 scale mini-Space Invaders Piggy Bank is a multifunctionalist’s dream: it not only stores your 100 yen coins, but actually lets you play Space Invaders on its LCD screen.

Free: Frontline Defense

Free: Frontline Defense

Frontline Defense doesn’t innovate the tower defense genre, but we still wasted a good hour on it; it has a near-future feel to it, mixing infantry and machine gunners with Tesla towers.

What’s In The Box

What’s In The Box

It’s unclear whether “What’s In The Box” is a fan-made film or a viral video for Half Life 2: Ep. 3, but it’s absolutely awesome; we’re not sure how long it’ll stay up, so watch it now!

Blizzard’s WoW Statue

Blizzard’s WoW Statue

There’s nothing like a 12-foot tall statue to show your domination of the MMORPG genre: this bronzed Orc and Wolf was built by WETA and erected at Blizzard’s Irvine HQ.

Free: Layoff

Free: Layoff

A Bejeweled-like game that lets you easily layoff folks and use bank bailouts, Layoff seems tasteless at first. However, each victim has a story, making it poignant social commentary.

Debut Trailer: Game #3

Debut Trailer: Game #3

Our eyes are watering, but in a good way: this debut trailer for as-yet unnamed Game #3 is epic both in terms of action and music; it’s by the same folks who did Castle Crashers.

Game Trailer: Alpha Protocol

Game Trailer: Alpha Protocol
Buy

This trailer for Alpha Protocol finally gives us gameplay to chew on; the RPG focuses on a CIA agent who is betrayed by his superiors and forced to uncover a conspiracy.

Pac-Man Cupcakes

Pac-Man Cupcakes

We get a sugar high just looking at these cupcakes by Hello Naomi; it depicts the entire Pac-Man playing field with 80 pieces (less if we got our grubby fingers on ’em).

Free: Replica

Free: Replica

Replica starts off a simple mimicry game, but just wait until they introduce 180 and 90 degree transformations; dust off those spatial orientation skills, because you’ll need ’em.

Game Trailer: Velvet Assassin

Game Trailer: Velvet Assassin
Buy

Turn 24’s Jack Bauer into a chick, put him/her into a Splinter Cell-ish stealth game and you’ve got the gist of Velvet Assassin; you play a spy sent to infiltrate German lines in WWII.

The Online Me Tee

The Online Me Tee
Buy

Because every avatar needs a graphic tee: Hogboy’s The Online Me is a must for MMO gamers, looks badass and is dirt cheap. Act quickly, as there are only a few hours to order.

Invisible Predator: Arkham

Invisible Predator: Arkham
Buy

This Invisible Predator trailer for Arkham Asylum shows off what we like best about Batman: namely, his use of stealth (dropping in from above: sick) and abundance of gadgets.

CoD Trailer: Nazi Zombies

CoD Trailer: Nazi Zombies
Buy

Call of Duty: World at War’s Nazi Zombies mode gets a proper trailer above; it’s an all-you-can-eat zombie buffet, filled with swarms of crawling undead, cola powerups and electric gates.

Dark Ops Wii Light Gun

Dark Ops Wii Light Gun
Buy

You’ll probably get laughed at by your fellow spooks, but this Dark Ops Wii Light Gun is at least somewhat elaborate, with a lock-and-load mechanism, scope and double grips.

Power Trailer: Infamous

Power Trailer: Infamous
Buy

Filled with Zack Snyder/300-style slo-mo shots and a rockin’ sound track, we were amazed that this gorgeous Beauty of Power trailer for Infamous uses only in-game footage.

Free: Bloody Fun Day

Free: Bloody Fun Day

Most games are about avoiding death, but Bloody Fun Day lets you play as the Grim Reaper himself; it’s a puzzle game where your goal is to kill–but with an eye on sustainability.
