The result of 440 hours of work and a horde of Agent Smiths, Matrix’s legendary bullet-time scene gets reimagined with LEGO bricks; it was created to celebrate the movie’s 10th anniversary.

This 1:350 Magnetic-Plated version of Space Battleship Yamato is really silver-painted plastic, but it’s still 30″ of naval bling in our eyes; it includes remote controlled light and sound effects.

This USB Alien definitely scores points for xenomorphic scares; it would have been cooler if its second head/tongue had been the USB port, but it does light up in red.

TardisTimegirl combines two legendary (and similarly inscrutable) sci-fi classics into a single LightWave 3D symphony with 2001: A Who Odyssey; warning: naked Matt Smith in orbit.

Due out 2010 as a full game, Dino-D-Day is available as a prototype Half Life 2 mod; it envisions an alternate WW2 with the Allies fighting Nazis literally armed to the teeth. Thanks, Chris!

It’s still in pre-alpha, but this Supreme Commander 2 trailer is both gorgeous and promising; we glimpse a vastly improved research tree, full 3D camera, and advanced pathfinding.

This Vanguard trailer for Mass Effect 2 amps up the Adept/Soldier with a wicked dash/warp move (think Sonic meets Hadouken); also glimpsed: heat-sink discharge and on-suit meters.

Priceline Shatner would name his own price, but you can’t beat Shatnerquake author Jeff Burk’s offer: his bizarro-cool sci-fi opus about alt-universe Shatners will be free on his website 11/17.
