19. Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit, which was known across the pond as “Indigo Prophecy”, is another game that proves that the old adage “sex sells” is truer than ever. As a matter of fact the game had to be cut because director’s David Cage original cut contained explicit sex between the characters, including frontal nudity. So it was released on Xbox and PS2 without the naughty bits. But for better or worse, it was later released uncut on PC.
The game itself takes place in the Big Apple and is a murder mystery with a touch of the paranormal and action sequences inspired by the Matrix movies. It is more than decent, so you won’t be playing it only for the naughty bits. One such bit takes place between the protagonist Lucas Kane and his girlfriend Tiffany. They get intimate in his bedroom after he plays her the guitar. So now you know what music does to the soul.
18. Wolfenstein: The New Order
This game was a solid but unspectacular first-person shooter with a retro vibe. The action reminded me of an early 90’s game, with redneck protagonist Blazkowicz sending enemies to kingdom come with his big, bad, guns. It also has a serious story that deals with the horrors of World War II and the Nazis, and it also includes sex.
Blazkowicz comes across as a more sensitive guy in one sex scene that has a more cinematic, film noir feel to it. It is tastefully done, at least by video game standards. There is also another scene that tries to imitate an adult movie… The word “banging” did come to my mind when watching it. So it’s not only the Nazis who get screwed by Mr. Blazkowicz in this game it seems…
17. GTA 3: San Andreas
Although the more recent GTA V also features explicit sex scenes, this is the one that got everyone talking about video game sex. And this was due to the infamous Hot Coffee controversy. You see, hidden inside the game’s code was a mini game involving sex between the game’s protagonist CJ and the women he could go out with in the game.
A curious (not to mention nerdy) PC user found a way to unlock this code, releasing a patch known as “Hot Coffee”. This is because in the game CJ’s girlfriend would ask whether he wished to come into her apartment for coffee, referring of course to sex. All this offended the powers that be and the game had its rating changed to the infamous AO (Adults Only), meaning that boatloads of copies of the game had to be recalled from stores. This is all a bit sad, considering how tame the Hot Coffee sex is. Although it sure was something for hormonal adolescents to drool over.
