Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard gets a proper 80s-styled trailer, with mono audio, cheesy retro sound effects and even cheesier graphics; that, and Neil Patrick Harris.

This trailer for Jumpgate: Evolution reminds us of EVE: Online, but that’s not a bad thing: more space-based MMOGs are always welcome, and this one should be out in June.

Whatever your politics, we like that Sundance winner Sleep Dealer takes risks with modern issues; it presents them in a dystopic thriller that mixes Blade Runner with A Brave New World.

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi announces Lost Planet 2 in the rather lengthy trailer above; it’s an ice world no more with jungle climes, but we’re most excited by the co-op play.

Our favorite anti-hero series is back with Overlord II, due out on PS3 and Xbox 360 this June; also on the way are Overlord: Dark Legend on the Wii and Overlord: Minion for the DS.

The reluctant hero archetype is a tired one, but we enjoyed this “I Am Scared” trailer for Infamous; there’s a refined cinematic feel here that hopefully carries through to the actual game.

M‚àö¬âˆžximo Extra A‚àö¬±ejo is premium Cuban rum at its finest; its sourced from the oldest reserves in Havana Club’s cellars and is bottled in a Havana-inspired hand-blown crystal decanter.

Metallic armageddon looks pretty good thanks to this upcoming Terminator: Salvation T-600 Endoskeleton by Hot Toys; it’s a 1:6 scale (14″) figure with light-up eyes and gatling gun.

This in-engine ad for Killzone 2 doesn’t just look spiffy: Sony will be releasing a playable version called ‘Killzone in 4-D’ on PSN in March to help create buzz for the game.

Drop beats, not TIE Bombers: this AT AT Boombox is a repurposed JVC mini audio system with a matte black, white and red color scheme that recalls Darth Vader’s chest panel.

If you liked Fanboys, get to know real Star Wars fans (and detractors) in The People vs. George Lucas, a documentary due out in 2010 which takes a grand tour of the Republic franchise.

With advanced fighter planes, psychokinetic powers and time travel, Singularity is dishing out awesome by the boatload; this Unreal Engine 3 based FPS is by Raven Software.

BioWare really knows how to leave us wanting more: this teaser for Mass Effect 2 not only slaps a KIA on Commander Shepherd but shows a Geth with his armor… more, please?

ROM Check Fail is an awesome remix of a dozen arcade classics, presented in an unpredictable, seizure inducing frenzy of 8-bit mayhem; it’s available both for Windows and Linux.

LEGO modder Morgan19 is back with a collection of custom Star Wars minifigs; these really plumb the depths of geekdom, including everything from Tusken Assassins to Ithorian Mercs.

The humans are the bad guys in Battle for Terra, an animated flick due out May 1st that pits us against some uber cutesy aliens; the plot is a mashup of Titan A.E., Wall-E and A Bug’s Life.

Drinks don’t get much more patriotic than Bluecoat American Dry Gin; 5x distilled in Philadelphia using organic American orange and lemon peel, it’s making the rounds with top mixologists.

Unlike most cities, Pittsburgh survived the alt-reality of Fallout without a nuke hit; it’s no walk in the park, however, and has been renamed “The Pitt” for this second Fallout 3 DLC.

A haunting soundtrack, epic spaceship-filled vistas and the occasional Star Wars-style screen wipe: this intro does a good job selling EVE Online’s Apocrypha expansion, due out 3/10.

Night at the Museum 2 may not be sophisticated comedy, but there’s just something about historical figures, dinosaurs and biplanes lose in the Smithsonian that makes us grin ear to ear.

Short of an I.V. drip, the Alcohol Shot Gun is the fastest way to inject booze into the bloodstream; this super soaker-like device delivers one ounce of ethanol goodness between reloads.

Red Alert 3: Uprising producer Mical Pedriana narrates this Campaign Trailer; look forward to a gothic-themed Soviet campaign and a full-scale Japanese rebellion for the Allies.

Wii owners with a hankering for polymorphic alien infestations won’t have to wait much longer: Dead Space:Extraction is a FPS prequel of the original and will be on shelves Fall 2009.
