Just because a game is released and locked on your system, it doesn't mean the publisher still can't censor it! And this episode I look at five such examples!

Gaming's had multiple "urban legends" over the years, some have been with us for so long, that people mistake them for fact. (yeah I see the irony) so here's five such examples of well known ones that were totally false!

In a world where releasing games in a broken state is already acceptable, you'd think publishers would make especially sure when they patch the game, it actually improved the situation, rather than make things worse. But apparantly not.

Developers get bored making games, so to pass the time they often have fun putting all sorts of naughty things in the code, assuming no one would ever discover it. Well Guru Larry did!!!

Games can be expensive to make, so why not save some pennies and just re-release the same game over and over in different countries with a new lick of paint? That's what these devs did!

Video game demos are often an easy way for publishers to give you a taste of a game the intend to sell to you, however, some of them tend to be a little more generous on this front and accidentally gave you the entire game instead.

As much as movies and TV loves to look down their nose at video games, they have no qualms with stealing ideas off them. So this episode, I take a look at at least five examples of this bout of video game vandalism.

Bit confusing this topic, but when a video game becomes popular enough Hollywood come sniffing for a movie adaptation, so with a free movie license, the original publisher THEN makes another video game based on that movie.

Some games unfortunately turn out terrible, but some of the excuses developers/publishers make to justify why can be ben worse! Here's four such examples!!!

One of the most famous cheat codes in the whole of video gaming has appeared in all manner of strange and bizzare ways, come join me as I look into five (well tons more actually) such examples.
