I saw this over on joystiq the other day and thought it deserved a Totally Pwned! post. It seems that the editorial staff of 1UP.com got pwned by the director of Gamevideos.com. Using some pre-recorded footage of Metriod Prime 2, a PS1 driving game, a ‘replica’ Wiimote and a laptop battery to pose as the Wii sensor bar, Mark MacDonald was able to fool several of the 1UP crew into thinking that they were actually playing the games. Genious!!! (caution… those 1UP kids need their mouths washed out with soap)

I guess that even real gaming professionals aren’t above a little pwnage now and then.
