Carmageddon was a fucking well good game.

the in-game upgrade thins made it. You'd manage to get something like 'granite skin' or 'doubvle speed' etc. It meant it was just brutal.

*sigh* unfortunately in the eroge* market surprise sex is worryingly prevalent.

although the more standard dating sims with sex are probably more prevelent it's just they don't get as many colum inches or publication in forign markets

which is a shame as i would at least like to play stuff like clannad or little busters

*erotic game

I remember one where the boss is a massive clitoris and you have to score hits on it while down the side comes loads of baddies that you have to shoot before they hit the bottom of the screen and render you impotent. Once you get enough hits on the clit without allowing enemy ships to escape you are rewarded with a pixellated bukkake game like the bonus game in Street fighter two where you get to batter a car. Only in this one you just degrade big eyed anime characters with helicopter dicks and Hard ush on.

Actually I think I just invented that in my head when considering dodgy japanese anime games played by shippy.

i have played sentamental shooting in which you blast the clothing off a girl covering the background

I've been reading up on some of the "controversy surrounding" Duke Nukem Forever and I have to say, it's moved from "a game I was never going to care about anyway that's a metaphor for ridiculous software delays" to "deliberately trying to take the image of gaming back twenty years, and made and supported by brainless fucking fratboy geeks".

It isn't just that they go out of their way to be "it's just a joke lol" offensive - a "capture the flag" round that's actually "capture the babe", and sometimes she freaks out a bit so you have to give her a slap... or holding PR events in strip clubs... or etc etc - it's the number of people on the internet who cheer them on, come up with the usual "just a joke / get over it / but what about WHITE History Month?" stuff whenever anybody says "what is this shit? no" and, for instance, say bloggers who object to it should be raped. Even Penny Arcade has joined in recently, though they do have a bit of a bad recent history when it comes to sex and games.

It's lucky that they really are dinosaurs, and that games have moved on and we've Deus Ex and Half Life and Portal and Bioshock and so on to indicate that FPS-y games can actually not be stupid crap for unusually dimwitted teenage boys who should probably be watched around watermelons. But it certainly makes me wary about ever associating with "gamers" online in a way that I've not for a while.

Are you talking about the Penny Arcade 'Dick Wolves' thing? That shit went crazy on both sides of the argument; the only conclusion I came to is that people on the internet are weird.

You're right, Fridgey. Sometimes it seems like two steps forward, two steps back.

There are a lot of people that take gaming seriously, though, and despair at the preponderance of unreconstructed rubbish. You could even be one of them.

duke nukem is jokes. 3d was one of my favorite fps games ever. I really really cant wait for this. The mw2 type vaguely stealth thing is fun but sometimes i just want to let loose a shit load of cartoony carnage, serious sam did well bridge the gap but has always a pretender to the throne.

Brooker did a segment on the eroge nonsense, as well as it's western equivs like Rapeman and some old Atari porn game which is basically space invaders with a dick shooting white bullets at blocky women.

I even remember the controvery over the old Imagine ad for 'Game Over' which had an armour plated bra cup airbrushed over an offending nipple after one appearance in Zzap, CVG, Crash etc:

Internet delivers for a change.
