I played a lot of Leisure Suit Larry when I was a teenager so it's tough for me to find anything in a game that makes me feel perverted.
Violence on the other hand can still bother me in a lot of games. First time I played Vice City I actually felt very guilty on one of the assasination missions where you had to kill some guy's wife and make it look like an accident. That really bothered me and I stopped playing the game for a while because of it. And I never felt comfortable just killing random people. . . except for the Haitians because I just don't plain like them.

I like GG's response to that blog entry. 
Unfortunately my self-censoring ways failed me when I got The Orange Box.

*clicks to check*
Oh
No me, but a friend who was disturbed by the "boomer" in House of the dead overkill. The bog belly and the way it walked reminded him too much of a pregnant woman.

Awww, how cute.
I don't even remember it. I guess the first time Howser acted like a dictator and said something like we must cleanse the world of their impurity or something like that. That was a little.... eh?
Funny though.
SteelAttack said:Sure, when I played Boong-ga Boong-ga.
Well, I told you, you were supposed to use the FINGER to play the game... BUT NOOO...
It's no small wonder everyone in the game room gave you strange looks!
Seriously, that's the last time I take you anywhere!

Wow -that would actually bother me, especially playing it after some of the current affairs/history books I've been reading.

I still can't believe that thing. I swear I saw part of a japanese show where they were sticking things up people's asses - or at least pretending to do so. Anybody seen this?

That was aweomse! 
Both the former and the latter.

Yeah that sounds a little unsettling.
For me I always felt kind of bad about killing innocent bystanders in the Grand Theft Auto games.
Also welcome to the VG Press. It's always nice to see new folks here. Hope you stick around and enjoy the place.

...
yeah as a policy I don't kill anyone in GTA games unless it is part of a mission. If they throw themselves in front of my car, that's their issue.
But then, I also use parking spaces appropriately in games as well.

You're not playing it right.
Firstly you save. Then you go out and cause absolute mayhem and see how long you can outrun the cops. The best thing to do is to put a getaway car next to a building. Get on the roof and snipe people, then when the helicopter comes use a rocket launcher. When you run out of bullets, jump off the building, get the car and see if you can escape.
And in Chinatown wars, get in the tank situated in the airport and kick some ASS.

Yeah, my opinion is wrong 
In the early days of GTA I did unsaved mellees for fun, or snipe for hours, but it gets old after a while.
In your game playing history (but mostly when you were a kid) have you ever played a game and gone, "Ummm, I don't think I should be doing this?"
I can only think of two examples, the first was in Wolfenstein 3D. When I was killing guards, at the time it seemed so real, that it felt a little dirty.
The other time was when I tried to play Rule of Rose. Some of the imagery in there is a little, umm, well lets say there is a lot of school uniforms. I think there was also some similarly creepy imagery in a game for the Xbox called Xyanide (your enemy takes the form of a young girl).
