RC Bowling Ball

The Awesomer — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:21:40 +0000

Yes, 900 Global’s Remote Control Bowling Ball is cheating, but it’s for a good cause: designed for disabled children, it uses an internal weight to adjust the movement of the ball.

Africa: Battlefield BC2

The Awesomer — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:16:43 +0000

We liked the first multiplayer video for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, but Africa Harbour blows us away: it’s a hard hitting video with fast cuts and realistic action from multiple vantage points.

Creed: Full Circle

The Awesomer — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:10:19 +0000

Their first new album since their breakup in 2004, Creed’s Full Circle moves away from catchy riffs and tunes; it focuses on a harder, heavier, and faster style yet should still appeal to fans.

Photos: Martian Landscapes

The Awesomer — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:08:47 +0000

Boston.com’s The Big Picture goes out of this world with Martian Landscapes; the Red Planet comes to life with alien (yet somehow familiar) photos taken by NASA’s MRO. Thanks, Scott!

SoundRacer

The Awesomer — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:05:44 +0000

The SoundRacer turns any econobox into the ultimate sleeper, sorta: all show and no go, it syncs up with your car’s revs and pipes the sound of a V8 or V10 engine through your speakers.

LEGO Howl’s Castle

The Awesomer — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:01:45 +0000

Based on the Hayao Miyazaki anime film of the same name, Imagine Rigney’s Howl’s Moving Castle is a LEGO tour-de-force; it’s as detailed on the inside as it is on the outside.

Pangolin Bag

The Awesomer — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:58:40 +0000

Named after the scaly anteater, the Pangolin Bag’s overlapping shells aren’t just for show; made from recycled truck inner tubes, they slide open for easy access. Thanks, everyone!

Garrus: Mass Effect 2

The Awesomer — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:38:21 +0000

Our favorite turian returns with this Garrus trailer for Mass Effect 2; roughly half of it is cinematic dialog, but the payoff comes swiftly with our first substantive peek at combat gameplay.
