Nine mini-games you've never seen
Games within games: dumbassed, unappreciated or just plain obscure
The Guy Game (PS2/Xbox/PC, 2004)
We’re not so much taken aback by the mini-game in question here. It’s the context that’s unsettling. The Guy Game is now banned (Wikipedia will tell you why), and was never released in the UK. It’s a DVD-style quiz ‘game’ centred on, for want of a better description, getting to watch college floozies flash their tits.
So why, once you’ve set out such a sensationalist stall, would you ever see the need to ‘add value’ by including three utterly vanilla mini-games – with decent physics! – centred on rolling coloured balls about the place? Just think: as someone was coding this, everyone else was probably sat next door in the editing suite, getting paid to stare at nipples.
