Awesome Software

It’s not top-shelf machinima, but we’re still floored by Halo: All I Play-Oh; it’s a music video by Usethefork set to Jude Kelley and Dan Amrich’s Halo parody of RHCP’s Snow.

True to its name, Two Rooms is a puzzle game where you’ll need to move two entirely separated pieces to reach a common goal; you’ll need to use sliding walls, crates and buttons.

The distinctions between the reasons in this Top 10 trailer are blurry at best, but that’s not the point: Prototype will be a boon for anyone who appreciates wanton acts of destruction.

This debut trailer for Bad Company 2 doesn’t show gameplay, but it’s the most succinct (and badass) explanation of rock/paper/scissors and its relevance to war we’ve ever seen.

The Wii lags behind the PS3 and Xbox 360 in terms of graphics, but the video above shows what Super Smash Bros. Brawl would look like at 720p thanks to a Dolphin emulator.

This challenge room walkthrough for Arkham Asylum shows why superpowers aren’t necessary to make a game fun; be sure to pick your jaws up off the floor when you leave.

iPhone apps are nearly a dime a dozen, but Tapbots’ Convertbot has an ultra-slick interface despite having rather mundane uses; it’ll convert everything from currency to power.

No, we’re not talking about a crazy ex here: Scary Girl is fantastic looking game based on Australian Nathan Jurevicius’ artwork; it’s a trippy blend of platforming, fighting, and puzzles.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s teaser is funky, yet awesome: it ditches visuals for cryptic soundwaves that soon morph into something much more sinister and ominous.

Filled with flying ninja scrolls and more enemies than you can shake a shuriken at, this debut trailer for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 rocks; the ginormous Buddha at the end totally pwns.

A retrogasmic blend of pixelated goodness, blippy soundtracks and 2D/3D perspective shifts, this latest trailer for Polytron’s Fez has us uber-excited over the gameplay possibilities.

R.U.S.E. is a World War II RTS with two key innovations: a truly massive sense of 3D scale and a the eponymous “Ruses,” which are deceptive powers you can use to your turn the tide.

Stormrise is now available, and with it this launch trailer gives a proper introduction; it’s a mix of cinematic world-ending voiceovers and a breakdown of the game’s various features.

Due out this June, Spore’s Galactic Adventures expansion adds further depth to the space phase; this Captain Trailer focuses on a single avatar, which ain’t a bad thing.

This latest Fly High trailer for Wheelman has us even more excited over the Burnout meets GTA hybrid; Vin Diesel’s character carjacks by leaping from one vehicle to the next. Thanks, Janne!

GlueFO 2.0 is a sticky remake of Asteroids, where your ammo comes from the targets themselves; although controlling your ship is easy, it’s balanced by the frenetic pace of the game.

Demigod’s Vampire Lord trailer gives us some juicy gameplay details; you’ll get minions a-la Overlord, tactical “war points” like DoW2, and super zoom-out like Supreme Commander.

We’re really looking forward to the coming of age plot of Overlord II, as revealed in the trailer above; also: a tyranny system which lets you choose between destruction and domination.

Frontline Defense doesn’t innovate the tower defense genre, but we still wasted a good hour on it; it has a near-future feel to it, mixing infantry and machine gunners with Tesla towers.
