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.

Sillof of Steam Wars’ latest work features Return of the Jedi characters for Customcon XXI. Jabba is a bit slimmed down and Ackbar is dapper, while Luke is a knight in monk’s clothing.

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.

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.

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.

If you’ve outgrown your Rubik’s Cube, V-CUBE uses right angle conical surfaces to up the ante with 5x5x5, 6x6x6, and 7x7x7 variants; there’s even a monster 11x11x11 on the way.

If a real (or replica) Shelby is out of your budget, this indoor Shelby Slot Car Racetrack should tide you over with 64 feet of track and miniature versions of the 1964 Le Mans Daytona Coupe.

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.

This isn’t just another Harley Davidson Fat Boy replica; taking LEGO to the max, it uses a NXT controller shaped like a handlebar complete with throttle control and brake lever.

Tired of noisy neighbors or roomies? The Revenge CD is packed with 20 ways to get back at ’em; selections include “House Party,” “Violin Practice,” and our favorite: “Unhappy Dog.”

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).

We haven’t figured out a way to man them up yet, but these tiny 3.4cm tall Tomy Robo-Qs will be sure to delight the ladies by navigating around obstacles and just being ridiculously cute.

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.

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.

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.

Scoring 97 points, Jean-Marc’s XO Vodka is premium-level liquor; distilled nine times with four French wheat grains, this unflavored vodka is super smooth with hints of star anise.
