iTunes App Store Rife with Gross Games

iTunes App Store Ripe with Gross GamesiTunes App Store Ripe with Gross Games

If you measure the success of a gadget by its available number of juvenile, gross applications and accessories then the iPhone is a huge hit. We've already seen an iPhone-compatible vibrator, but that is nothing compared to the slew of repulsive, albeit less sexually explicit, games available at the App Store.

A girl we once dated really enjoyed popping people's black heads. A tad gross, we won't lie, and nobody actually wanted to let her do it, but we found ourselves e-mailing her today to let her know about 'Zit Picker,' a game for the iPhone and iPod touch that lets you pop virtual blemishes on a woman's face, complete with stomach churning, exaggerated sound effects.



We've yet to date anybody who would enjoy 'iNose' (thankfully), but this game is perhaps the grossest in the entire line up of iPhone games. A self-described "nasal hygiene game," 'iNose' charges you with the task of cleaning out a nose in a certain period of time. The faster you flick (yes, the game requires you to flick snot) the boogers away, the higher you score.

Seriously, people? What happened to good old 'Tetris?' [From: Textually.org and Textually.org]
