The Guy Game - Adult Console Trivia Nirvana?

Thanks to IGN Cube for their preview of the the adult console trivia title, The Guy Game, as created by the "newly formed Topheavy Studios... run by Jeff Spangenberg, former head of Retro Studios, which was responsible for the GameCube hit Metroid Prime." The fruits of this illustrious pedigree seem to be a game that "...features topless, M-rated nudity... [and] integrates drinking game A**hole, allowing for custom rules." The title even features the 'Flash-O-Meter', which "...is rated Soft & Squishy, Sorta Chubby, and Super Stiff", depending on the amount of nudity involved, and the game also features a "stage of play... called BallzOut, which a bunch of mini-games designed around clever ball physics." Sadly, the title "is still looking for a publisher", even if IGN are "somewhat excited by it."

drinking game A**hole

I wonder what naughty word is under those stars? Arthole? Addhole? I sure do wish I knew, that would be swell.

See you in church Sunday!

Kind of sad

[Mork29]

This game is sad simply because we can't put on some pr0n and drink with our friends. We make ourselves work for it now. Answering trivia is fun, but it seems like your only motivation in this game is to get drunk and see naked women, neither of which involves a game normally. YDKJ always was kind of fun at a party even without the "jubblies" though.

Ah, You Dont Know Jack was a classic. The British version of couse, voiced by Paul Kaye. The only problem with it was the lack of questions. After playing it non-sstop all night (yes, this DID happen) you started to get to know the answers in advance.

I tried playing the American version, mainly because you could expand it with downloadable modules, but due to all the cultural references I didnt find it as funny. I'd imagine the same would go for Americans playing the UK version.

I agree, I'd love to see an xbox version of YDKJwith a monthly(weekly?) new question file, then have questions picked based on last time they came up.

Guessing you didn't get a chance to play YDKJ: Online, back in the days of Bezerk (or whatever it was called). They had a thing going where several times a week, they'd put up new "episodes", containing new questions you can play through, and they had prizes for high scores. It didn't take the questions and add them all together to make a game like the normal ones, though.

It'd actually be kinda a cool idea nowadays, but they'd have to get the Jellyvision team back to work on it, otherwise if Sierra tried to do it themselves they'd just mess it up horribly.

The console idea's not too bad, either, since each player would get their own buzzer and not have to worry about crowding around a keyboard. Imagine a 'Cube version, and all the players having Wavebirds...

Am I reading this right?

Out of all systems, they pick GC... Well, it could possibly be the easiest to operate and easiest to find power button under the influence. But then there's always still the matter of turning your tv to the right channel..

IGN also has an Xbox preview of it, so there you go. But don't immediately discount Nintendo from letting a game like this get released on their system. Despire all their kid-friendly games, they still allowed an uncensored version of BMX XXX for the GCN. And it was Sony of all people that demanded a censored one.

Leisure Suit Larry for the 21st century

No, actually, it wouldn't be LSL for the 21st century, because they're already making one.

[Goldberg's Pants]

Yes. Because God Forbid we should see any nipple through the clothing...

Those magazines are so lame. Porn for those who are too scared to buy the real thing.

Just get over it and...

...Make an AO MMO sex game where all you do is have sex with other people's characters. All the free publicity from the religous right, the far left, and Joe Lieberman crying bloody murder, will guarantee an instant hit. Even if the game sucks. And it most likely would. If anyone would buy a game like The Guy Game, or a Strip Poker game, or something like that where they just get some tits flashed at them, they'd sure as hell buy this. They can even charge monthly fees. And developers love those.

Now theres a game that should be eye-toy compatible. Or a killer-app for Xbox Live.

(I wouldn't play this game, but you have to admit, it would sell. Especially among Slashdot readers.)

[Deathlok's Bear]

Ah, so instead of killing rats and bunnies in the newbie zones new players would instead start by killing kittens?

So they're "sorta chubby"?

Moms buying for their kid

I'm going to watch moms buy this for thier kids, and then end up suing someone.

IGNXbox is notoriously bad with ratings. You should take all of IGN's ratings with a grain of salt nowadays... especially Xbox.

I was pretty amused by that review. A select quote...
Bikini Karate Babes was left open to be picked apart by its competition: Dead or Alive 3, NASCAR Racing 2002, Predator on the NES, and the peanut butter cookie from the vending machine.
See thats useful, cause now I know that I would be happier with the cookie. Thank IGN.
