One of two games that not only helped to kill a company, but crashed an industry. Pac-Man, after a ton of hype, released to home consoles and epitomized the term "disappointing".
In the "from worse to ugly" category on the newsfront this week, Gamespot reports that Halo 2 for Windows Vista has missed its May 8th release date only to be pushed all the way back to this Thursday. The reason for the delay? It might not be what you think. Microsoft, in a rare case of fessing up to its own mistakes, gave Gamespot the following statement: "An unfortunate, obscure content error which includes partial nudity was included in our initial production of Halo 2 for Windows Vista".
Whatwhatwhat? Partial nudity? Could this be every gaming nerd's dream? Could it be that Cortana sheds her Tron-esque garment for a moment of softcore action? The result may suprise you, as it turns out the culprit ends up to be...oh wait, I can't forget a warning of some sort.

As the old saying goes, you can’t polish a turd, but once in a while, someone makes a valiant attempt at it.

Who says the "multimedia revolution" of the early-to-mid 90's wasn't great? If anything, it gave dinner theater actors around the world a place to shine. Which is why I present this great moment in video game history.
This particular clip is from Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, one of the many quality "interactive movies" that came out for the 3DO. This piece, obviously detailing one of the many pivotal plot points in the game, involves the game's main character, Jane in a job interview. Watch in awe as things go awry, askew, and amiss!
Riddle me this: what happens when you take the hottest item of the 80’s and team up with a company that was just coming off one of the hottest trends of the decade to merchandise a series of trading cards? You get a heaping pile of crap. This week we look at Nintendo Gamepacks. Licensed by Nintendo of America and produced by Topps, the company that brought us the insanely cool Garbage Pail Kids in the 1980’s, Nintendo Gamepacks were released in 1989 and lasted a good year before the general populous got wise to the scam.
