1999: It's reported that a 5-year-old boy Eskimo boy shot his 7-year-old brother while fighting over the use of their Nintendo. No positive spin on that one. Ed note: and that was not a challenge.

2000: Activision releases Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption for PC in the US. I was so excited for this game—all the elements were in place and the press leading up to release was very positive—and I desperately tried to enjoy playing...it just wasn't very good. I came back to it a year later, thinking I was unfair. How could I NOT love this game?? Same results, though I almost beat it the second time (damn AI walking through sunlight.) But what did you think?

I know this is somewhat wrong, but no one thought of Ice Climber?
