I remember when the big controversy surrounding Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas emerged. There was this secret mini-game called "hot coffee" where the main character and his girlfriend engage in various sex acts. This was a big deal because the ESRB reviewed the game without seeing the hot coffee segment and gave the game an improper rating, requiring the game to be shelved, the mini game removed, and the rating changed. Although this is very controversial, I still believe that creating a game replicating the columbine massacre of '99 is above and beyond controversial. Until viewing this list, I had no clue that such a game would even be created, and cannot fathom someone sitting in a room and thinking that would make a great idea. Sick, very sick. I'm guessing the reason that the columbine game remains in the number two spot because the San Andreas controversy was more highly publicized as the Grand Theft Auto series was extremely popular at the time.
