The cube version of the Rubik's line ranges from a pocket-sized 2x2x2 cube up to a 7x7x7 cube (the largest ever actually manufactured; however, you typically will not see anything larger than a 5x5x5... the most popular cubes are the 3x3x3, 4x4x4, and the 5x5x5).
2x2x2 Pocket Cube:
3x3x3 Rubik's Cube:
4x4x4 Rubik's Revenge:
5x5x5 Professor's Cube:
Pyraminx:
Megaminx:
Not sure of the name (but it's almost identical to the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube):
Diamond Cube:
Magic Ball:
I think those were all the ones created off of the Rubik's line, but obviously there are other lines of puzzles similar now in little variations off of all these.
