Despite requiring a nuclear submarine to run, "Crysis" has been very popular in the mod scene since its launch. The latest mod to impress adds the infamous "Back To the Future" DeLorean to the game, allowing you to crank it up to 88 miles per hour before blasting off into the past (or future).

Captain America and Thor will both have big years in 2011. The two Marvel superheroes and original Avengers have their own feature films scheduled to hit theaters, but as of today they also have their own Sega games marked on the calendar.

Over a matter of hours, the Internet seems to have all but confirmed that "Super Street Street Fighter IV" will be an upcoming Capcom release with at least two new fighters -- T. Hawk and a previously unseen female fighter named Juri. A teaser site on Capcom's Japanese portal, a German magazine photo and eventually new screw shots have all but sent out a press release about the game, but it may take an official announcement to clear the air over whether or not this will be a new release or long-awaited DLC for "SFIV."

Without context, "Time FCUK" (pronounced "Time F**k"), is a mind-bending platformer where you try to get your simple avatar to a teleporter by warping space time. The puzzles get increasingly more devious and new elements are continuously added throughout the main game, introducing gravity-changing arrows and portals. Again, taken on its own, it's a very clever puzzle/platformer. But add in the twisted and entertaining mind of Edmund McMillen (an indie mainstay who has worked on titles like "Gish," "Aether," "Spewer," and "Braid,") and the game hits on another level all together. A darker, creepier, more unnerving level.

"Super Meat Boy," the WiiWare-exclusive platformer based on the free Flash platformer is coming early next year. Edmund McMillen, old school-platformer aficionado, has gone ahead and released the first gameplay footage of the title, which looks way prettier and more wide-screeny than the original (which featured a strangely tall and skinny aspect ratio).

Games aren't all about killing! Sometimes they're about merely maiming and incapacitating! Today we pay homage to the weapons that'll leave your foe breathing but reasonably uncomfortable. My favorite? The "Zelda" boomerang. Yes, I'm aware it's technically able to kill puny monsters but usually it just stuns enemies, leaving them dizzy and violated! You guys had a bunch of good responses today!

Apart from being nerdy, the above video is incredibly, supremely awesome and I can't imagine the mind that constructed it.

While folks have done lo-fi versions of "Portal" before, this is pretty much unbeatable...until someone manages to recreate the game using only clockworks. The video is quaint and the beginning, but once he reveals that you can actually look through the portals and it shows up on screen, the mind begins to boggle.

The developer's handle is Cymon, and this isn't the first ASCII gem he's produced. Check out his Games section for nearly 20 different titles created using the simplest of graphics.

EA is a big company. Huge. Sprawling even. Their many branches are hard to even fit into the human consciousness. EA Casual, EA Sims, EA Games. Heck, EA Sports is the only one that’s easy to remember because they have their own catchy phrase about it being in the game (they have, strangely, never explained what ”it” is or what it’s doing in the game.)

So considering that Electronic Arts is a multi-tendril-ed beast, it’s no wonder that their E3 press conference was a bit all over the place. For example when the lights finally dimmed, a gory explicit rendered trailer for the highly highbrow “Dante’s Inferno” was shown. Then John Riccitello came out and introduced “The Sims 3”. Then “Charm Girls Club” with its hair-teasing Wiimote action. Yeah.
