We’re seeing more information come out of Valve regarding the awesomeness that is Portal 2.  Apparently, the game will have two ending sequences: one for the single-player and one for the co-op campaigns.  Both endings will feature “something special." Which we're going to go ahead and interpret as "even better than the 'Still Alive' song." Is Valve biting off more than they can chew by promising two separate unforgettable endings? [Gamers Mint]

EA has already started teasing info about FIFA 12, mentioning features such as expanding the Personality Plus feature and overhauling the free kick system. They also promise more “soul” and want to showcase the passion the players and the crowds truly have for the sport.  In other words, we’ll finally be getting those "dive in the penalty box" and "sleep with the nanny" buttons we’ve been begging for.  [CVG]

Finally, a year-end roundup that isn’t yawn-inducing: the worst game covers of 2010. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shake your head in utter disbelief. Walk It Out? Really? A game about walking? Or possibly being a backup dancer for UNK? [1UP]

Crytek has released a new clip featuring Crysis 2’s multiplayer in action.  Zero-friction sliding, kicks that flip over cars and turning invisible are among the powers revealed for the new Nanosuit.  Nothing says “I LOVE THIS GAME!” (substitute hate for love if you’re on the receiving end) more than being able to turn invisible during a death match, word to the Spy in Team Fortress 2. Xbox 360 owners can rejoice, as an exclusive multiplayer demo will be available tomorrow!

At the conclusion of the most recent Show About Games Show, the cast reproduces gameplay from LittleBigPlanet 2 using toys, props, and their voices for the music and sound effects. It’s well done, but you'd think with all that free time they could've cured cancer or something. [Kotaku]
