Feature
With GoldenEye on the way and Donkey Kong throwing barrels in the not to distant future, we ask if remaking video games is a good thing or a terrible desecration.

WTF?
Didn't think that an x-ray could be obscene? Well check these shots out, and see if you still agree. It's an interesting publicity stunt for equipment manufacturer, but we're still left feeling a little bit strange, and not in a good way.
