We have to say that the first real trailer for Trackmania 2 looks mighty impressive. Combine the great looking graphics with an easy-to-use track editor and this could be our new Saturday night thing when it comes out.

• Check out this fan-made Lego model of Portal 2's main enemy GLaDOS.
• Voting has begun for fans to pick the best user-made robot for the upcoming Shoot Many Robots.
• The Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War II Complete Soundtrack is now available to purchase from Sumthing Digital.
• As promised, the first episode of Telltale Games' new game series Hector Badge of Carnage is available on Steam with a 10 percent discount for its first week.

The final week in April will see an action-RPG spin-off from an already established game franchise, along with two new entries in two episodic adventure games.

Darkspore - Electronic Arts releases this game that's loosely based on the 2008 released alien evolution game Spore. Darkspore is a sci-fi action-RPG that uses a version of Spore's Creature Creature to help improve and add to your player creatures as the battles enemies across several different planets. The game has a persistent multiplayer mode and also has support for up to four players in co-op. It also has an MMO-like player vs player mode.

Telltale Games has about 300 games in the works (ok, not really but it's a lot; trust us) and one of them is set for release next week. The first of three episodes for Hector: Badge of Carnage is set for release for the PC and Mac on April 27 for $9.99.

The two send up of British crime movies (previously released for the iPhone and iPad) is now available for pre-order on the game's official web site. Pre-orders come with a free copy of Telltale's Puzzle Agent game. Plus 10 percent of the revenues from this episode will go towards the earthquake relief efforts in Japan. The second and third episodes of Hector will be released later this fall.

Telltale Games continues its flood of info today with word that it will be releasing a PC and Mac version of Hector: Badge of Carnage. The first episode of the 2D animated (but still for adults) hardnosed cop point-and-click adventure game features the title character trying to solve a hostage situation. As you can see in the above screenshot there's a lot of death involved. The game was first released for the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad by Northern Irland-based developer Straandlooper.

Telltale will re-release the first episode for the PC and Mac this spring and will work with Straandlooper to bring two more downloadable episodes to the PC, Mac and iOS platforms later in 2011.
