MIT has created a new open-source game in which relativity plays a pivotal role in the gameplay; as items are collected, the speed of light is slowed down drastically, and extreme relativistic effects occur.

They are also working on a toolkit for the Unity engine to allow the creation of more games which simulate relativity.
Very cool stuff! I'm sure this will help a lot of people to understand the strangeness that is relativistic mechanics.
