Iron Man’s better-armed half wears monochrome well in this slick 13″ War Machine Armor Statue; it packs a wrist-mounted cannon and shoulder-mounted plasma and gatling guns.

Self-described as a sci-fi western on a tiny budget, Connected is a dark yet beautifully shot post-apocalyptic short film set in Denmark; we like its favoring of artistic style over exposition.

Gratuitous Space Battles’ second expansion pack, The Order, gets an explosive trailer above; named after a new race (think religious Borg), it adds 11 ships, 3 weapons, and 2 missions.

It’s not as large as the Alien Queen, but this Lifesize Alien Bust more than makes up for it with its horrifically awesome details; it’s created from the same molds used in the original movie.

This Flowfield Pathfinding trailer for Supreme Commander 2 may be boring graphics-wise, but it’s very exciting for RTS fans: the UW algorithm blows traditional A* out of the water.

Show your coworkers who’s boss with this Alien 18″ Figure (22″ when upright); it not only includes an extendable inner mouth, but everything from the neck to the tail articulates.

Stay a-head of the Overwatch with this 1:4 scale Headcrab Plush; measuring only 6″ it can only wrap its claws around tiny noggins, but at least you’ll only need a tiny crowbar to kill it.

If you liked yesterday’s 1945A, Project Arbiter takes two steps back to 1943 but at least four steps forward in terms of awesomeness; mobile armored suits in WW2 = nuts!

It’s hard to differentiate the gameplay from the cinematics in this Gameplay Reveal trailer for Transformers: War For Cybertron, but that’s a good thing; Autobots roll out 6/22/10.

The “A” stands for alternate reality in Ryan Nagata’s 1945A, shot on a $2,000 budget; in it, the Nazis spring a lumbering diesel-punk surprise on the Allies just before the end of WW2.

Info on Metro 2033’s beasties oozes out slower than Moscow traffic at rush hour, but this fast-paced Kill or Be Killed trailer gives us a few more glimpses at their monstrous Dark Ones.

True to its name, Infinite Space is surprisingly deep for a DS game; this Domination Trailer shows off ship customization, which is enough to make any space geek trip the light fantastic.

Make time traveling a total blast from the past: The Time Traveler’s Handbook teaches you how to survive the Black Death, play Mayan football, tackle a T. Rex, and more.

Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising’s new units sow chaos of their own in this explosive trailer; it includes the Weird Boy, Librarian, Tyrant Guards, Genestealers, and Wraithguards.

It wasn’t humanoid like the Final Five, but this Cylon Teddy Bear will at least warm your heart before raining nukes on the Colonies; it’s equipped with the Larson Scanner LED KIT.

If you’ve run out of Wonderflonium, fear not: Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog arrives on Blu-ray 5/25/10; it’ll include audio commentary, a making-of documentary, and bonus footage.

We’re up to our pointy blue ears in Avatar parodies, but The Midnight Show’s Avatar… with Babies will make you a true Pandora believer … or it’ll make you poop in your pants.
