While this Sunday millions will be tuning into the big game to check out every bone-crushing sack and every beautiful spiral out in Lucas Oil Stadium, there are those less fortunate few – Payton Manning, Kyle Williams, and Tim Tebow – who will be watching from the sidelines. Their hands will clinch with every throw and mouth mime the words of every play called. If Tebow ever believed in football hell, then this must be it. Instead of turning on the TV this Sunday, those players not making the trip to Indiana would be better off turning on their consoles instead.

We here at G4TV.com are a forgiving lot. Instead of reveling in the misfortunate of players having to take to the sidelines we’ve kept warm for so long, it’s time that we take pity on our sporty brothers. Welcome to the club, boys! We’ve picked out a selection of games just for you to pass the couple of hours it takes for the Super Bowl to run its course. Maybe it’s time to let your thumbs take a heavy beating.

Artist Olly Moss' latest project is a series of Mario Posters that draw from the original Japanese version of the game. It's a menacing design featuring the King Koopa himself, Bowser, stalking Princess Peach. For now you can't purchase the posters, but they are fun to look at. For more info on Olly Moss, as well as a more detailed look at the prints, you can check out his website.

Do you prefer the red or the black version?

Like Froot Loops cereal and Bugs Bunny cartoons, Kinect-powered toy Double Fine Happy Action Theater will appeal most strongly to two kinds of people: Five year olds and stoners. Those are my two favorite kinds of people, so the verdict on this one is clear: It’s Guilty… Guilty of being awesome.

Happy Action Theater is a downloadable collection of 18 tech-assisted experiences and games that turn your TV and Xbox-Kinect into a showcase for doing ridiculous things with augmented reality. For instance, one section of the game sees glowing lava filling your room. You see yourself onscreen interacting with the magma, rolling around in it, and shooting fireballs from your hands. In real life, this results in tragic cases of death-by-volcano, but here it’s fun.

Conan O'Brien took on Star Wars: The Old Republic's same sex relationship issue in his own special way last night on the show. Even though in this clip they don't actually use footage from SWTOR, the voice over clips are pretty funny. Check it out below.

Who do you plan to romance in Star Wars: The Old Republic?

Daniel Maniago is a fighter, a gentlemanly practitioner of the video game martial arts, so his opinion on SoulCalibur 5 is much sought after by those looking for a knowledgeable, critical reaction to Namco Bandai's combat simulator. His opinions are, in a word, legit.

Below, you'll find a sample of Maniago's largely positive review of the game:

"SoulCalibur V aims to please many different audiences. Casual fans will be in awe at the sheer beauty and polish of the game. Hardcore fighting game enthusiasts will appreciate the adjustments made to the fighting engine. Players looking for the most bang for their buck might be disappointed with the sparse selection of game modes, but should look into the character creation mode to keep them busy."

For more insight, please read our SoulCalibur 5 review.

Welcome to G4's Knuckle Up, where we bring you a byte-sized view of our five favorite mobile games every week. The mobile space is filled with incredible games that will keep you busy for minutes, hours, or even days -- we'll let you know what we're playing and why we're playing it. Here are our top five games this week:

GAME OF THE WEEK

SUPER CRATE BOX
iOS (Universal)

At first glance, Super Crate Box is one of those mobile games that’s the equivalent of a one-night stand. You get your arcade fix, and move on to the next... right? Wrong. SCB quickly sucks you in, and you find yourself coming back to it over and over for new play sessions. It evokes memories of the original Mario Bros. with its single-screen levels, and throws in crate collecting that reminds me of Muffin Knight.

As mentioned, our hero hops around the screen to collect boxes. Each crate holds different weapons that auto-equip when you pick one up, and you’ll have to grab as many crates as possible before dying to the monsters pouring out of the pipe at the top of the level. Those weapons help you out, though; from flamethrowers to revolvers, you’ll have a great time blowing bad guys to smithereens.

Super Crate Box is a shining example of what mobile gaming is all about: simple, minimalist design, solid yet simple controls, and super-addictive gameplay all melted into a singularly amazing experience on your iOS device. It’s retro without being gimmicky or stale, and that’s a pretty impressive accomplishment.

Konami's NeverDead places you in the shoes of Bryce, an immortal monster hunter who is trying to get revenge for the murder of his wife. Unfortunately, while the idea seems cool and while the weapons Bryce gets to use are interesting, the game just doesn't really live up to its potential.

Bryce loses limbs at the drop of a hat during combat, forcing you to either hobble around without the lost appendage, or furiously combat roll in hopes of running over the limb to make it stick again. Enough damage and Bryce is left with just his head, which adds all kinds of problems. There’s no safety mechanism in place to prevent the head from flying into an inescapable section of the map, and at times, it’s painfully hard to get the head to reform with the rest of his body.

The makeup-sporting rockers in Kiss may seem like 70s throwbacks, but frontman Gene Simmons is totally modern. In a recent interview, the singer said he's in talks with various companies about creating a Kiss video games. He says he's in discussions with Sony and that we might expect an Angry Birds meets Kiss game. Oh, great.

I love Gene Simmons for his unabashed marketing and devout capitalism. When asked about the possibilities of a Kiss game in a recent interview, Simmons responded with the following epic collection of tie-in ideas, marketing synergy and branded product-information. The heart of rock and roll is still beating, folks.

Confession time: I still have yet to either watch or read Game of Thrones. I know. No, really... I KNOW. It'll happen, I promise. But since it hasn't happened yet, the import of this newly released trailer for the upcoming RPG from Cyanide Studio is a little lost on me.

Anyone who's reading this is probably pretty excited though, right? You find more stuff on the game's official website, but the "Riverspring" trailer offers a look at a newly revealed location. This one's more about scene-setting than showing off any action. You get plenty of looks at the game's seemingly solid visuals in motion, but there's no swordplay at all and very little blood. You also get a little bit of narration that fans of George R.R. Martin's work can no doubt make more sense of than I can.

There's no release date set yet for Game of Thrones, though the official website still lists it as coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in "early 2012."
