5th Cell's series of wordy puzzle games may be due for another release soon, as a domain registration belonging to Warner Bros. points to something called Scribblenauts Remix. The news comes from the Twitter feed of superannuation, who proves again that he possesses detective skills that rival Batman's.
With two Nintendo DS Scribblenauts games in the bank, I think it's likely that this tite will land on a different platform, or more than one, between the 3DS, Vita and mobile operating systems. I suppose a console release is possible too, but all of the portable platforms seem more suited to this type of game. The title's "Remix" certainly suggests a move somewhere.
What do you think? Are we getting another Scribblenauts game or is this actually just the start of 5th Cell's secret campaign to redefine every word in the english dictionary?

Oh those French and their Rayman Origins. Slap, slap, slap! The kooky, limbless hero made waves at E3 2011, and now the team at Ubisoft has seen fit to reward the little guy with their own "Best of" badges. What kind? Well, "Biggest Butt" is on there. What more do you need to know? Check out the trailer below!
Slap slap! Rayman Origins smacks its way into your home later this year!
Nintendo has revealed their Comic-Con 2011 plans. A handful of upcoming Nintendo games will be playable to the public, including Super Mario, Mario Kart, and Kid Icarus: Uprising. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be playable for the public for the first time as well. Keep reading for Nintendo's complete Comic-Con line-up.
According to a Joystiq interview with Darby McDevitt, lead writer of Assassin's Creed: Revelations, the game originally started out as the Nintendo 3DS game Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy but was eventually morphed into the newer, shinier, console title. Lost Legacy followed Ezio Auditore as he traveled East in search of the lost castle at Masyaf to investigate the holy land. This same idea will still be played out in Assassin's Creed Revelations, but we'll now be able to go much more in depth with the story for Ezio's final installment.
I for one am glad that AC:R is heading to gamers in console format. The Assassin's Creed handheld games generally don't hold up to the epic feel of its console counterparts. What about you? Would you have liked to see another Assassin's Creed game for handhelds, or are you happy with the choice to move Lost Legacy to the console in the form of Revelations?
Assassin's Creed: Revelations is coming out for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in November.

Aliens: Infestation, the side-scrolling platformer from WayForward has been detailed by the ESRB. It may or may not surprise you that in Infestation you'll control a marine squad on a mission to get rid of xenomorphs. You'll be able to use rifles, pistols, flamethrowers, and explosives in side-scrolling battles to kill the aliens.
For the full ESRB description, check after the break.
The zombie apocalypse, when it happens - and it will happen - is bound to be a tragic event, full of blood, gore, and little girls falling out of windows. So thank goodness for Plants vs. Zombies, which reminds us that the zombie infection, subsequent turning and merciful death of a close friend can also be hilarious to watch. Or more specifically, thank Dorkly.com, who gave the Internet the lovely gift you can find below:
It's getting to be lunch time around here. Want to know what I'm hungry for? Tell you what, just lean in a little closer, and let me have a little nibble...
All rise. The court of TheFeed is now in session. The honorable Jake “Fake Judge” Gaskill presiding. It is the opinion of this court that video games are…what’s that?...the Supreme Court already handed down its ruling on California’s violent video game law?...7-2?...Oh, I see. Well, let's get on with it.
As you've no doubt heard, this is a big week for the games industry, thanks to t but in case you were too busy, I don't know, playing games or something, then you definitely want to check out this week’s episode of Feedback, as Adam Sessler is joined by Casey Schreiner, Stephen Johnson, and Nikole Zivalich to discuss what is arguably the most significant legal decision in gaming history. (For more, be sure to check out Adam's in-depth look at the Supreme Court's decision, and if you have no idea what this whole case is about, brush up here.)
And, as if to honor said decision, the Feedback crew also examines and cross examines the game of the week, the cheeky horror shooter Shadows of the Damned. So if you're into legal jargon and penis-inspired gun puns, you've certainly come to the right place!
Feedback: Where we still have no idea why the abbreviation SCOTUS makes us chuckle. Hehe. SCOTUS.

A fast-spinning ball of 16-bit blue, whizzing around, and sometimes well beyond the boundaries of, the screen is the first thing a lot of us remember seeing of Sonic. The Sega Genesis mascot created by Yuji Naka and Naoto Oshima stood proud as a rival to Nintendo's brick-breaking plumber Mario in 1991 when Sonic the Hedgehog was released. He was there to challenge the NES superstar, but he offered a very different sort of experience. He could run faster and jump farther, all with a single button to Mario's two. Why get excited about sometimes shooting fireballs from your hands when you could run really, really fast, always.
Sonic turns 20 today, the anniversary of the original game's June 23, 1991 release for Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis console. More than 40 games have followed it, spanning a variety of genres and gameplay styles. Sega celebrates that legacy this year with the coming release of Sonic Generations, but it's the fans who are responsible for breathing life into the iconic video game character again and again. Read on for more about everyone's favorite little blue furball.
Popcap Games has announced that gem-matching puzzle game Bejeweled 3 is coming to every conceivable platform. That means versions on the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PSN, Xbox 360, and Xbox Live Arcade. That's five* versions of the game, all launching simultaneously in late 2011. It will feature twice the game modes of its predecessor, eight mini-games, and an audio-visual overhaul. So there.
Yes, I realize Bejeweled is a "casual" game, but Jake "Hardcore" Gaskill liked it enough to include it in his top five games of 2010, and seriously, there are few harder-core gamers than a Bejeweled addict getting a fix.
Check out our verdict on Bejeweled 3 and ask yourself whether you really want to take that first hit...
*I guess there will be a retail PS3 copy on a disc and PSN version for download. This way every type of "gamer" can play. We've contacted Popcap for confirmation and we'll be sure to update you once this is confirmed.

Captain America: Super Solider might put fans of ol' Cap in the right place this July, which is to say on their couch, game controllers in hand, tossing the star-spangled shield about virtual Nazi-infested WWII locales. The game will feature writing by comic book author Cristos Gage, who you may know from several tie-ins to Marvel's Secret Invasion event. We caught up with Derrek Peel, brand manager at SEGA, producers of Super Soldier, and he shared with us some details of The First Avenger's early adventures:
