The Year's Most Offensive Video Games

In one, you beat enemies to death with toilet seats. In another, you have to tear the squishy hearts from cooling corpses. And then there are the really gross games.

Matt Peckham, PC World

Mario Party 8 5 of 9

A Nintendo game makes the list of the year's most offensive? Made you look! But so did Nintendo this summer when it voluntarily pulled its minigame compilation from UK shelves over the oopsy-inclusion of a single word: "spastic." Call me uncultured, but I had no idea this playground term for someone acting like Chris Farley in, well, pretty much any skit was actually a dictionary term for "a person affected with cerebral palsy," and was offensive overseas. Nintendo quickly changed "spastic" to "erratic" and rereleased the game.

For: Wii; Developer: Nintendo; Publisher: Nintendo
