We're getting there: The Dark Room Sex Game is a rhythm game of sorts--shake your Wii Remote with the second player with a sense of mutual rhythm, and you win. No graphics--only horny audio cues indicate whether you're "thrusting" at the right pace or not. Though it's silly, it's actually a genius twist on rhythm games--rather than steadily pressing buttons, you're forced to invent your own rhythm and then dynamically change it alongside another player. Makes Rock Band look pedestrian. (By the way, this game's not for the Wii; you have to trick your PC into recognizing your...

Did it occur to anyone that they could just HAVE SEX?

The only viable reason for a sex game on the wii would be for phone-sex type stuff, or for those who can't get laid through conventional means. (and thus, are playing by themselves.) Anything else is pointless.

I'm merely stating the obvious- if you've got two people in the same room who're comfortable enough playing a sexual video game together, why not go for the real thing...? The only way to make this "game" worthwhile is internet support and a solo mode (not to mention graphics).

No, we’re just European.

Are there any plans for a sequel?

Yes, “Revenge of the Uterus” will be released in approximately nine months, unless external circumstances force us to abort the effort.
