World of Goo Tour

World of Goo Tour

This World of Goo Design Tour video lets us see a game through the eyes of another developer, specifically David Rosen of Wolfire; we think it’s a must see for aspiring game designers.

Ireland isn’t much known for its vodka, but Drinkhacker is waxing positive over Boru Vodka; this quintuple distilled drink is available in both flavored and unflavored varieties.

Paper Plane Launcher

Paper Plane Launcher
Buy

You have to be pretty lazy to need a device to throw paper airplanes, but this Paper Plane Launcher is an ideal gift for office workers; it’ll shoot paper death at speeds of up to 30mph.

Trailer: Trine

Trailer: Trine

Not only is Trine one of the prettiest platformers we’ve seen, it looks pretty fun too; it reminds us of a side-scrolling version of Diablo, with puzzles and physics-based objects.

Skate Bat

Skate Bat

Bats, skulls, spiders and a wicked deck: Skate Bat has got it all, so it’s too bad this 7″ figure is limited to only five pieces. However, a second colorway is planned for Spring 2009.

Fallout 3 vs. Reality

Fallout 3 vs. Reality

GameRadar has put together a fun little comparison between Fallout 3 and real-life D.C.; the verdict: Bethesda got things pretty darned close, albeit with some artistic license.

Celebrate 2009 with Krug’s On My Own Terms luxury champagne case; it includes six bottles of their Grand Cuvee along with a personalized plaque affixed to a cellar case.

Ridemakerz C6RS Corvettes

Ridemakerz C6RS Corvettes
Buy

If the $260k pricetag on Chevy’s C6RS Corvette gives your wallet hurtin’, Ridemakerz’ 1/14th scale models are a bit more affordable, with both remote-controlled and free-wheel chassis.

Gameplay Video: Wanted

Gameplay Video: Wanted

Wanted’s latest trailer reveals more of the gameplay; based on the Jolie/Freeman assassin movie, there’s a clear focus on the use of cover (think GoW) and curved bullet shots.

The Spirit: Octopus

The Spirit: Octopus

The Spirit’s Octopus character is indisputably cool (hell, it IS Samuel L. Jackson); Hot Toys is releasing a smokin’ 1:6 scale figure with two four-barreled shotguns and revolvers.

Rise of the White Wolf

Rise of the White Wolf

The Witcher is making his debut on consoles, and this Rise of the White Wolf trailer gives us a sneak peek; no gameplay, but the mock swordplay in the cinematic is plenty sweet.

Book: Arcade Mania

Book: Arcade Mania
Buy

Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft puts his time spent in Japan to good use with Arcade Mania; it explores the land of the rising sun’s game centers and the powerful hold gaming has on Japanese culture.

Throwing Star Magnets

You’ll never see ’em coming, but Ninjas do leave telltale signs: these Secret Mark Throwing Star Magnets (a Core 77 exclusive) give new meaning to raiding the refrigerator.

Trailer: Ghostbusters

Trailer: Ghostbusters

Venkman, Egon, Ray and Winston, oh how we’ve missed thee: this Ghostbusters trailer is powered mostly by nostalgia and ectoplasm, but we don’t care; who you gonna call?

Fire Powder

Fire Powder
Buy

Ghost stories around a campfire will never be the same again: this Mystical Fire powder uses the same chemicals found in fireworks to create a spectrum of colors, minus the bang.

Sapporo Space Beer

Sapporo Space Beer

Even if it tastes like crap, we’d still drink Sapporo’s Space Beer: it’s the only barley that can lay claim to being grown on the ISS, 190 miles above the earth and at a speed of 17,000 mph.

Riddick: Dark Athena

Riddick: Dark Athena
Buy

We think we’ve finally figured out why the Riddick series has done so well with this fresh Assault on Dark Athena video: Vin Diesel’s gravely voice makes anything sound badass.

Trailer: Black Dynamite

Trailer: Black Dynamite

Black Dynamite’s blatant blaxploitation is ironically poignant; coming out in 2009 but filmed like Shaft in the 70s, it may be offensive, but at least it offends everyone equally.

Persia: Epic Gameplay

Persia: Epic Gameplay
Buy

With Prince of Persia coming out this trailer may be the last, but it’s a good one: it makes true on its “Epic Gameplay” title, with plenty of seat of your pants acrobatics and sword fights.

Teaser: Uncharted 2

Teaser: Uncharted 2

Uncharted has been called the male version of Tomb Raider, but we’re extra excited over this teaser for Uncharted 2; it’ll premiere 12/14 on Spike TV at the Video Game Awards.
