Sex in Games, Five Years After “Hot Coffee”
1Up writer Anthony John Agnello published a really interesting piece on sex in video games – and how the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas “hot coffee” scandal paved the way for some of the things we’re seeing in today’s most popular games.

World of WarCraft Remade with StarCraft II
It was bound to happen – and there’s a serious, “Yo, dawg,” joke to be made here.
