We suppose it was only a matter of time before someone took the concept of motion gaming, and turned it into something dirty to make drunken swingers giggle like 16-year olds. Ubisoft, a French gaming company, is unleasing 'We Dare' upon the European gaming public on March 11th. (Sorry U.S. pervs, no "sexy party game" for you.)

The colorful Wii-mote is far from subtle, but there is a certain childish charm to its multi-hued, blocky design. ...

It's been a few years since high school, so we're not sure if the kids who play 'Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock' are the same types that attend toilet-paper-hurling, expletive-laden live shows of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show.' But, if you happen to be one of those game-geeks from Transsexual Transylvania, you're in luck this month. 'RHPS' tracks will be made available as a download pack for the ...
