Red Alert: Uprising looks plenty sweet with wrestler Ric Flair and Heroes’ Malcolm McDowell; however, we’re most looking forward to Yuriko Omega’s Diablo-esque missions.

The last thing we need is a Defense game to consume our time, but The Tower proved too much to resist; your goal: protect a “heart” block using a variety of defensive blocks and spells.

We can’t wait to see the Wolverine movie, so we’re happy to say that this trailer for the video game is equally promising; Logan really takes out a can of whoop ass in this one.

Most of the free games we feature are quick and dirty, but Divine Generals is a strategy game a-la Civilization with armies, buildings and research; in short, plan on a long lunch break.

The plot for Red Faction gets a comprehensive workup in the full trailer above; we’re most impressed by its cinematic qualities, which are on par with previews we’d see in a movie theater.

Just in time for today’s big game, Blood Bowl has finally dropped a full trailer; nothing mind blowing here, but tons of bone crunching; who knew dwarves had a running game?

While previous trailers for Batman: Arkham Asylum have been annoyingly vague or artsy, this breakout video has us positively stoked in a way we haven’t felt since Dark Knight.

If you’ve been praying for a Starship Troopers-style bug onslaught, consider your prayers answered with these latest Zerg-tastic screens from StarCraft II; rush, my Swarm, rush!

Don’t let the zen-like music or lack of pieces fool you; Perfect Balance is in many ways harder than 99 Bricks as you try to keep pieces from toppling despite control over the drop point.

Tired of rearranging the stickers to “win” with your Rubik’s Cube? Use the Cube Cheater iPhone app to photograph the offending Cube and let the Kociemba algorithm do the rest.

Three years have passed since our favorite plumbers went on their last adventure, but Mario & Luigi RPG 3 will arrive in Japan on 2/11; there’s still no word on a US release date.

First a fantasy football board game, then a 1995 MS-DOS port, Blood Bowl is coming to multiple platforms Q2; this Goblins vs. Orcs trailer actually shows off only two out of eight races.

It takes a little while to get going, but this latest Matt Hazard gameplay trailer had us in stitches by poking fun at Japanese RPGs; we never understood those damned ellipses either.

Fallout 3’s Operation: Anchorage is finally out for the Xbox 360 and PC; with cloaking units, epic historical battles and new technology, this add-on is what DLCs are all about.

If you’ve yet to score a copy of Burnout Paradise, Ultimate Box is a quick and dirty way to get caught up; it includes the Cagney update as well as the Bike, Big Surf Island and Party Packs.

The trailer above for Star Ocean: The Last Hope is a bit like Final Fantasy meets Mass Effect; word is it’ll be more team-focused with a 4-party system when it drops 2/24 in North America.

With atrocious English and a maddening four-axis control system, Aliens Must Die does get a bit annoying at times; still, it’s fun enough for a quick session during coffee breaks.

Section 8 aims to redefine the FPS genre; bold goals, but judging from its flexible spawn points, customizable characters, and drop-dead gorgeous trailer above, it might just deliver.

The scenery is a bit barren, but this Dark Void gameplay video looks promising if you’ve ever dreamt of jetpacking around a-la-The Rocketeer (with a bit of God of War thrown in).

This second uncensored trailer for House of the Dead: Overkill keeps the classic grindhouse horror style of the first, but spends more time introducing you to the protagonists.

We don’t usually have time to sit through entire battles, but this Dawn of War 2 multiplayer battle with Orks wiping out panzies (Eldar) makes this a must-buy on February 19.

It must be the week of intros, first with Killzone and now the first four minutes of Riddick: Dark Athena; the Dark Athena looks creepy, but it’s really Riddick who sends shivers up our spine.

What Super Energy Apocalypse: Recycled lacks in graphics it makes up for in depth; it’s a basic RTS where you’re tasked with building a base to defend against mutant alien zombies.
