Awesome Games

We’ve always liked the “OMG they’re invading America!” shock value of World In Conflict, and this launch trailer for Soviet Assault is no different; “war comes home” 11/09.

Anybody up for a game of Speed Jenga? This home-made wooden pistol uses a rubber band to snap a bolt into a tower, fast enough to eject bricks without toppling (usually).

It’s titled Weapons & Vehicles, but this trailer for Red Faction: Guerilla really should be called Freaking Awesome Explosions; we’re most excited about the way buildings disintegrate.

The Wii has been hurting for a good FPS, but this Conspiracy Trailer for The Conduit looks solid: the story is about an alien invasion of Washington, D.C. via the eponymous Conduits.

Just in case you thought Wolverine’s claws were decorative, this Uncaged Trailer is basically 1 minute 40 seconds of Logan tearing into everything; dude’s got serious issues.
