Awesome Games

Summer can’t come soon enough with this explosive trailer for Battlefield 1943; for the uninitiated, it’s a multiplayer-only game set in the Pacific Theater of WWII with up to 24 players.

Kids, Shopping Cart Hero is actually a sophisticated physics teaching tool. That, and it lets you launch a rocket-powered cart with three of your buddies inside while you do a superman.

While the cinematic and gameplay trailers were nothing short of awesome, this narrated GTTV preview for White Knight helps to fill in the blanks for the upcomingPS3 exclusive RPG.

It’s been called Unreal Tournament Lite, but CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars is worth a look with a seemingly endless array of psionic abilities; it’s coming to XBLA and PSN this month.

We have a feeling Arnold would look positively puny next to his gigantic, chaingun-wielding T-600 predecessor, teased above from the upcoming Terminator: Salvation video game.

Hidden amongst a sea of mediocre Superbowl Ads was this gem for Coke Classic; it pokes fun at our online personas without getting too preachy; life really is the ultimate MMORPG, no?

This Halo Vibe video for Halo Wars scores buko bucks with sweet cinematics in the intro, and then relentlessly expounds on the awesomeness of Spartans; we ain’t complaining.

Red Alert: Uprising looks plenty sweet with wrestler Ric Flair and Heroes’ Malcolm McDowell; however, we’re most looking forward to Yuriko Omega’s Diablo-esque missions.

Proof that you don’t need gobs of CPU power and memory to rock out, D-Pad Hero is a sweet little 256KB ROM that runs on a NES emulator; think Guitar Hero or Rock Band in 8-bit.

Armed with a Logitech Webcam and solenoid fingers, this Unbeatable Pong Robot is actually pretty creepy; let’s hope its skill set doesn’t expand to, say, enslaving humanity.

The last thing we need is a Defense game to consume our time, but The Tower proved too much to resist; your goal: protect a “heart” block using a variety of defensive blocks and spells.

We can’t wait to see the Wolverine movie, so we’re happy to say that this trailer for the video game is equally promising; Logan really takes out a can of whoop ass in this one.

Most of the free games we feature are quick and dirty, but Divine Generals is a strategy game a-la Civilization with armies, buildings and research; in short, plan on a long lunch break.

The plot for Red Faction gets a comprehensive workup in the full trailer above; we’re most impressed by its cinematic qualities, which are on par with previews we’d see in a movie theater.

Made for a Halo movie pitch that went nowhere, this full-sized Warthog replica is every Master Chief’s dream; it actually works, with a turbo 6 cylinder engine and four wheel drive.

Just in time for today’s big game, Blood Bowl has finally dropped a full trailer; nothing mind blowing here, but tons of bone crunching; who knew dwarves had a running game?

If you’ve got both the room and the cash to spare, this 1:4 scale, 18″ Ken statue is the perfect way to impress your Street Fighter obsessed girlfriend. Yes, the inflatable rubber one.

While previous trailers for Batman: Arkham Asylum have been annoyingly vague or artsy, this breakout video has us positively stoked in a way we haven’t felt since Dark Knight.

If you’ve been praying for a Starship Troopers-style bug onslaught, consider your prayers answered with these latest Zerg-tastic screens from StarCraft II; rush, my Swarm, rush!

If you liked Zombie Fluxx, you’ll love Last Night on Earth; it’s a board game with beautiful photos and artwork, a modular board, eight heroes and even a CD soundtrack; thanks, Matt!

As important to 90s adventure games as StarCraft was to the RTS genre, Steve Purcell’s iconic Sam and Max duo are getting a slick, 1000pc limited edition polystone statue.

Don’t let the zen-like music or lack of pieces fool you; Perfect Balance is in many ways harder than 99 Bricks as you try to keep pieces from toppling despite control over the drop point.

Tired of rearranging the stickers to “win” with your Rubik’s Cube? Use the Cube Cheater iPhone app to photograph the offending Cube and let the Kociemba algorithm do the rest.
