Seeing the unbridled chaos of a Halo: Reach multiplayer game in full swing brought a tear to this deathmatch fan's eye.

Video Blips:

• Some of the new weapons featured in this Halo: Reach multiplayer footage are quite hefty. Well, not so hefty as Halo 2's mammoth Energy Hammer. [GameTrailers]

Continue after the break for some strangely armored women in Lost Planet 2, the surprisingly appealing Toy Box mode in Toy Story 3, and a Starcraft 2 kart race. Yep, you heard that right.

 

• Is it just me, or are these women revealing a little too much skin to be waging war in Lost Planet 2? Then again, seeing a pig-tailed Amazon jump in glee after blowing something to bits with an oversized rocket launcher would make anyone back away warily. [GameVideos]


• Normally doomed to failure like its movie-licensed kin, this video game tie-in of Pixar's Toy Story 3 features a unique sandbox mode. With the amount of power at my fingertips, I'll be creating an exact replica of the island from Cast Away — complete with a Wilson-groping Woody as Tom Hanks! [GameVideos]


• This custom Starcraft 2 beta map might not have the iconic shell power-ups, but it still nails the Mario Kart feel dead on. I couldn't help but chuckle at the Thor's persevering pilot slowly plodding along the track with no hope of victory. [Youtube]
