Will Erotic Games Ever Become Legitimized?

"While the typical assumption is that video games are for children, it's becoming more and more obvious over the years that this simply isn't the case. There are games for a younger audience, that's for sure, but with the average age of gamers being 35 years old (according to the Entertainment Software Association) and Mature games outselling all others, the stigma of "games are for kids" is losing steam. Strangely enough, it appears as though many within the industry are ignoring that fact, especially retailers and console makers. Proof is in the AO rating, which is still a death note for games. If the ESRB decides that a game is too saucy for the M-rating, it cannot get licensed on any of the consoles (as was seen with Manhunt 2), and barely any retailers will carry it. For the most part, this only applies to one genre: erotic games. Let's discuss them, shall we?"

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 19:45:22 GMT

Many popular franchises migrated to the PSP in a big way like Resistance Retribution, Motorstorm Arctic Edge, Assassin's Creed, Gran Turismo and LittleBigPlanet. There was also a healthy dosage of unique content as well, evidenced by the recognition of Beaterator, Locoroco 2, Patapon 2, Dissidia and more.

2009 also saw the release of the PSP Go. Opinion is divided on the redesign and its reception and retail has been humble at best, but it did successfully amp up the amount of digital releases to download. So, with new life breathed into the platform, VGChartz recognizes the best PlayStation games released this year you can carry with you.
