It's been a comparatively slow week at Big Download. Most of the huge new files will coincide with E3 and other conferences in the next few weeks. We still have a few items of interest for you to check out this weekend, though.

The most obvious choice is the Call of Duty: World at War (or Call of Duty 4.5, if you prefer) trailer. Treyarch is trying to take a different approach to World War II; download it and judge for yourself whether or not it has succeeded. We also have a lengthy preview for Gearbox Software's Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. If that intrigues you, be sure to also check out our recent interview with Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford.

	Call of Duty: World at War Trailer Call of Duty is returning to World War II in Call of Duty: World at War. This time the focus is on the Pacific theater of the war.
	WALL-E Demo This Pixar animated movie-based game has garnered some positive feedback from some of our readers. At only 219 MB, you don't have much of an excuse not to try it, do you?
	Stronghold Crusader Extreme Demo We hear that this historical real-time-strategy game from Firefly Studios is extreme in some way. Look at the title! Download the demo and judge its extremeness for yourself.
	SAGA Game Client Saga is a massively multiplayer real-time strategy game that borows gameplay elements from collectible card games. Consider this free client a starter deck.
	Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway Behind the Scenes Trailer This five minute-long video explains the rich historical basis for Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, as well as the narrative implications of telling a darker, less hopeful version of the World War II story.
