Trailer: Ninokuni

Trailer: Ninokuni

Hayao Miyazaki fans are gonna love Ninokuni, Studio Ghibli’s first major foray into the gaming world with Japanese developers Level-5: think Howl’s Moving Castle meets Totoro.

Gameplay: Mirror’s Edge

Buy

These Mirror’s Edge trailers just keep getting better; “Flight Level” is halfway between a flying dream and a falling nightmare, with the heroine leaping (off) tall buildings in a single bound.

Demo: EndWar

Demo: EndWar
Buy

The demo for Tom Clancy’s EndWar is now available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace; early reviews are praising the voice recognition but note it’s simplistic for an RTS.

Spider-Man Launch Trailer

Spider-Man Launch Trailer
Buy

While the SHIELD trailer was goofy, this launch trailer for Spider-Man: WoS is flat-out emo cued to Moonlight Sonata. The enemies and overall plot look plenty badass, however.

Free: Dogfight 2

Free: Dogfight 2

It takes awhile to load, but Dogfight 2 is worth the wait. This freebie by Rock Solid Arcade is a beautifully rendered WW1 biplane shooter, with 25 missions and bonuses for ace flying.

Trailer: Patapon 2

Trailer: Patapon 2

There’s something about this Patapon 2 trailer that gets us giddy in a let’s go crazy and demolish everything way. It’s coming to the PSP in Japan in November; no word on a US release.

Trailer: Bionic Commando

Trailer: Bionic Commando
Buy

Not content to rest with BC: Rearmed, Bionic Commando is the first true sequel to the franchise; as a commenter noted, it’s like Spider-Man with guns; good enough for us.

Midnight Club LA: Skyline

Midnight Club LA: Skyline
Buy

It’s tough not to wax nostalgic with Midnight Club: Los Angeles; this trailer stars a properly riced-out 1999 Nissan Skyline tearin’ up Southland asphalt (and the occasional sidewalk).

Gameplay: Lich King

Gameplay: Lich King
Buy

Although there’s not much sound, this montage-style trailer for WoW’s upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion gives a pretty good idea of gameplay and new environments.

Trailer: Quantum Theory

Trailer: Quantum Theory

Quantum Theory is Asia’s answer to Gears of War, with a predictably pretty looking hero (named “Sid” of all things); it’s also got a bit of Fracture mixed in with deformable environments.

Trailer: Naumachia

Trailer: Naumachia

The trailer could be clearer, but we like what we see with indie-developed Naumachia, a multiplayer space-combat sim; they’re currently working on the alpha and looking for investors.

Free: GemCraft

Free: GemCraft

GemCraft is a fantasy-oriented Tower Defense game. Towers are upgraded with “gems” which can be mixed to increase potency; if you’re in a bind, lob ’em at enemies and they’ll explode.

Spider-Man: SHIELD Trailer

Spider-Man: SHIELD Trailer
Buy

Most game trailers are pretty run of the mill, but we like this S.H.I.E.L.D trailer for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows; it’s like a public service announcement, albeit with tongue in cheek.

Starcraft 2 Gameplay

Starcraft 2 Gameplay
Buy

It’s what we’ve all been waiting for: more gameplay vids for Starcraft 2. Check out either the Zerg vs. Terran or the Protoss goin’ at the Terrans. The Colossus is weak sauce, btw.

Trailer: Diablo III Wizard

Trailer: Diablo III Wizard

We can never get enough Blizzard news, which is why we’re amped up by this latest trailer for Diablo III that focuses on the wizard class. Hang in there: gameplay is towards the end.

PowerUp Forever

PowerUp Forever

It’s the game that never ends: PowerUp Forever is the 2D space shooter we’ve been praying for, with swarms of enemies and gorgeous graphics; it’s coming to PSN and XBLA this fall.

Free: Warlords Heroes

Free: Warlords Heroes

Warlords: Heroes is a simple fantasy adventure game; decent graphics, leveling up of powers and three game modes gives this more staying power than most freebie games.

DoW 2: Space Marines

DoW 2: Space Marines
Buy

Above is a walkthrough for Dawn of War 2’s Space Marine campaign; narrated by the lead designer, it talks about use of cover, squad abilities and finishes with a little orbital bombardment.

Trailer: Halo 3 Recon

Trailer: Halo 3 Recon

Although this trailer starts off the same as the Halo 3 Recon teaser we ran earlier, this longer version shows a Spartan hiding from Covenant forces; the expansion won’t be out until Fall ’09.

Trailer: Last Remnant

Trailer: Last Remnant
Buy

Ancient artifacts of incredible power and gigantic swords: yup, The Last Remnant has Square written all over it, but judging from this cool cinematic trailer we’re gonna buy it anyway.

Gears of War Shoe

Gears of War Shoe
Buy

Co-branding is often lame, but we’re digging this Gears of War x Globe shoe. Based on Globe’s Fusion tech skating kicks, it features a triple-layered toe cap and hidden lacing option.

Trailer: League of Legends

Trailer: League of Legends

With the help of some of the same folks who created Warcraft III’s DotA, League of Legends is a stand alone game focused around hero units that fight with other players in tournaments.

Little Big Planet may be annoyingly cute, but this amazing calculator shows off its engineering potential: it’s made with 610 switches, 500 wires and 430 pistons. Thanks, Devand!
