PC World names the most offensive games of 2007 photo

2007 was a banner years for gaming, but that doesn't mean that tripe isn't being turned out at an equal pace. Some crappy games are hilarious though, and I think my world would be a different place without them. PC World has done their round-up for most offensive game of 2007, and here are the winners:

1. So you think you can drive, Mel?

2. Manhunt 2

3. V-Tech Rampage

4. Kane & Lynch:Dead Men

5. Mario Party 8

6. Resistance: Fall of Man

7. Scrabble DS

8. The Darkness

9. Lair 

Some of those are obvious, but Mario Party 8? In case you missed it, the game was pulled from UK shelves due to the use of the word "spastic" which is apparently synonymous with a person who has cerebral palsy. Apparently, overseas peeps were not pleased that Nintendo had no respect for the disabled. Damn you, Nintendo. 

DL Site's "Lewd Consultation Room" was somehow left off of this list, much to my chagrin. The summary actually reads:

A female doctor with a stethoscope conducts strange medical examinations.

She makes the men who come to see her take off their clothes and has a nurse lick their genitals.

Now that's offensive, people. Also, terrifying.

'Most Offensive Games' huh? Sounds like there's too many butt hurt people at PC Games.

There is only one game on that list that I feel could be called offensive with any shred of accuracy, the V-Tech game. I wouldn't even call that game offensive, but I do feel it was in bad taste.

Scrabble? Scrabble? How is that offensive?
The only thing offensive is the intelligence of that PC World editor.

Man I glanced at that list, then re-read it..scrabble? I guess having a small vocabulary and playing scrabble would make you offended? And maybe Lair having shoddy controls makes it offensive? Something tells me this list is 1/2 joking.

I think the reason Scrabble DS was included is because one of the words you can use is lesbo.

I dont know if this game came out for PC or not, but I think Jericho can take on all of them in a Survival Series and win.

Scrabble? Scrabble? Fucking Scrabble was offensive? Who the fuck is running this magazine?

And while I'm on the subject, how did Persona 3 not make this list? It has you summon monsters by blowing your fucking brains out! How did this one go unnoticed by whoever the fuck made this list?

On a side not, I do believe this is the most times I've said "fuck" in a comment. So, go me. I guess.

Its called this list is either a joke or put together by a bunch of morons.

Whoa, calm down onomelon, you may be in danger of having a spine, I saw 4 fucks, must be careful as I'm spastic.

And I don't agree with this list, one game should be on there that isn't; Tenchu Z
I found this game fucking offensive because it completely ruined a great game, a great genre, and any hope I had for a decent ninja/samurai stealth game for these 'next-gen'-bullshit consoles.
Fuck all.

Mario Party 8 is offensive because it sold way too many copies than it should have.

What's The Darkness doing on the list? Maybe it offends Italian mobsters?

These were almost certainly judged by media reports and "offensiveness" reports on them. I doubt the PC Gamers editor that wrote the list was offended by Scrabble including "Lesbo", or Mario including "spastic", but other people were, and it was in the news.
Though this doesn't explain that Mel Gibson one, especially being at number one.

"So you think you can drive, Mel?" is more offensive than the V-Tech one!? Making fun of a drunken famous guy is more offensive than making fun of the shooting deaths of dozens of university students? I see where their priorities are.

Resistance does not belong on that list. Just cuz some douchebaggy priest takes offense at a historical location being used, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it.
