Game Politics has posted a list of the most controversial upcoming games of 2006. Leading the pack is of course GTA4:
-
Grand Theft Auto 4
-
Resevoir Dogs
-
Sadness
-
Bully
-
Hitman: Blood money
-
50 Cent: Bulletproof G Unit Edition
Most of those are controversial for obvious reason. The curious standout is Sadness. Having read a little about the project now, I have to say, it sounds cool. Sadness is a survival horror game in development for Wii. The website for it mentions using the Wiimote for waving torches, tossing lassos, and slitting throats. It’s this last action that puts it on GP’s controversial list. Wii has the potential to let supposed “murder simulators” actually simulate murder. Instead of pressing a button, players can actually “stab” someone, for example. Interesting.
Controversial or not, Sadness sounds like it could be a cool title.
