www.crymod.com for anything Crysis-related (and there are a lot of mods and maps in progress for Crysis atm- hesitant to compare it to such well-established games, but it could arguably be the next UT'04 or HL2 when it comes to modding; we'll have to see how well that holds-up as time moves forth and other graphically-comparable games come out).

www.ttlg.com IF you're a fan of the Thief Series, like I am, then you'll love this place. Get a bunch of Fan missions here that are just as good, if not better, than the originals and people are still cranking out fan missions for that game.

Of course it is also a place for a lot of tips and info on how to create your own fan mission.
