An amusing & educational look at the history of sex in video games. Sex has been around in games for almost as long as game have existed. Sure, there's lot's of controversy now, but really - is it needed? There's so much more violence than sex in games, and sex is required for the survival of the human race whereas violence... isn't.
Anyway the video is by Daniel Floyd who's a student (not a professor) at Savannah College of Art and Design and he made this for his coursework.
Not entirely sure how this happened but I was recently invited to be an Xbox 360 ambassador. What does this mean? Well I have been asked to write a couple of blog posts and post some tweets about Xbox. The reason for becoming an ambassador is to promote the new [...]

Really nice video though, however I'm not too sure I would go as far as to call video games a medium for art yet, even if there are a few stunning masterpieces amongst them. I certainly agree though that the controversy surrounding events such as the "Hot Coffee Mod" business was stunningly puerile given the nature of the rest of GTA: San Andreas' action. Simulated death, destruction, wanton violence and hearty criminality are all easy meat, but pixelated porn? That's clearly a step too far...
