i find it quite staggering, and may I add is a sign of the sheer stupidity of the human race, how it can be acceptable for games to show extreme levels of violence and murder yet the smallest hint of any sexual content, something that is enjoyable to the human race and something we are 'meant' to do, the gaming community (or at least the censors, media, killjoys and ahem religious types) go nuts. I remember the first ever leisure suit larry way back in the 80's. The censors and killjoys were going crazy over what essentially were a few green monochrome pixels that vaguely resembled a woman with badly drawn jugs.wurd

call of duty 2 and 3 are a good bet because they have long campaigns also if you have live you can get call of duty 1 off xbox liveand call of duty finest hour and big red one are backwards compatible.

[QUOTE="RDOTR"]Hi I was thinking of gettin a Call of Duty game for my 360 but cant decide which one...? I dont want one that is way to long and over complicated as I have studies to think about, something enjoyable would be preferable. Good storyline is a must to, I'll be playing single player btw. which one would you recommend..? RDOTR

I've yet to see sex in video games used in a manner that was stimulating, interesting, or at all believable, which is quite a failure considering we're talking about practically the most hard-wired excitement human beings possess (woe to desensitivity? I think not). Yet I'm still all for it. Practice makes perfect, and I suggest that perfection is desired for the following reason:

Games as an art form must ultimately mean games as a medium for telling a story. Even most highly respected games don't make this cut: I'd be the last to suggest that Starcraft is an unimportant (or unfun) game that didn't shape the role of video games in culture, but was it a masterpiece like The Godfather was a masterpiece? The Godfather altered the way people think about crime and introduced the romance of the mobster. Starcraft's only cultural impact that I can think of is that it altered the way westerners view asian gamers, and that not by the story of the game itself. Games, if they ever want to reach that rarefied level of creation called 'art', must be about stories, which are ultimately about human people and their desires and fears, their strengths and weaknesses, their triumphs and failures. Sex is part of the story of humanity, from crazy ol' cave-drawings, to Adam and Eve, to the Arabian Nights, to the 1896 May Irwin's Kiss (the first kiss on film), to Herbal Essence's marketing campaign. Sex must be confronted eventually, and why not? People dream of it, they raise it up on the highest pedestal and drag it down through the deepest muds, they go to ludicrous lengths to get it and once gotten sometimes cast it away without a second thought. In a word, it's exciting, for both mind and body. If games want to ever be taken seriously and I mean seriously in the sense of Armond White film criticisms (and not World of Warcraft's profits, which are admittedly FO' SRS), then they're going to have to confront sex.

Course even if you find this whole games as art a bunch of hogwash, then what care have you about it? Sex can be entertaining even if it's exploitative.

Either way, you win by practice makes perfect.

As for the idea that we should concentrate on love before sex, what is this the 1920s? Whether you like it or not, sex and love in modern western culture have become somewhat divorced. I prefer my stories to confront the reality of society, not some wishy washy Disneyland version of it (unless, y'know, it's a disney game in a disney world). Not that I'm saying that romances in games don't need serious work, just that it's silly to think games ought to be used as some sort of medium for teaching morality (luckily I don't think they're in any danger of that ;O).

why the **** not?!? now that we have Infinity Ward with the balls toinclude a virtual massacre of civilians in MW2, to suck you in to the world of their game,games are clearly becoming more mature themed. developers like Bioware already try representcomplex human relations in their games, of which sex can be a part. they just need to take it a step forward and make it competely revealing and "realistic". if anyone has a problem with it just include an option which turns off/skips such scenes. why cater to any one demo when there is a clear democratic solution. the argumen has a weak foundation. with the same basis you can start a new thread "Violence in videogames...yes or no?" or "Blood in videogames.." or "Revealing bikinis at the beach...?"

What exactly are people afraid of? It's not like youhaven't been exposedto the horros of the world before.
