The Most Offensive Games Of 2007

PCWorld has an article about this year’s most offensive games. It includes Scrabble and Mario Party, for including the words “lesbo” and “spastic” respectively. When you get over the offense, it’s hilarious considering the irony of it all. Manhunt 2 gets an entry for its violence. My personal favorite is Lair, earning a spot simply for being a terrible game.

Lair is offensive not for its violent M-rated content, but for foisting on gamers one of the worst control ideas this side of Nintendo’s hideous Virtual Boy. You’re supposed to fly a dragon using the PlayStation 3′s motion-sensitive SixAxis controls. Cool, right? Well, yeah, except for the parts were you have to twist and swivel, and shake-shake-shake, and hold some button while lining your soaring flame-throwing lizard up with some other dude’s, and then stab your entire PlayStation 3 controller left or right, and pray that the invisible timer clocking the little screaming fire-bombed guys you’re trying to protect down below doesn’t expire and jerk you out of the moment with a hey and a “whoops!” and a “try again.” Sony’s misbegotten dragon-riding simulation is my most offensive-to-play video game of the year.
