Gay and Lesbian ban on PS3 Home - Home-o-phobia on the PS3


First up, welcome to 2009 lovely readers! Hope you had a great holiday. Now to it... Remember back in May 2008 when we were a tad annoyed about Microsoft lumping gay and lesbian in with the "offensive" words filtered on the XBL service. Well now that PS3 Home is finally here, it seems they've taken that route also.

Sony has allegedly banned the words "gay" and "lesbian" from the service along with "jew" and "bi-sexual". Michael Marsh wanted to set up a gay/straight alliance in Home, but couldn't due to the filtering system.

We understand Sony wanting to quash possible hatred on the service, but using discrimination to do it seems kind of stupid. The discourse sociologist in me wants to scream at Sony and slap them with a wet flannel as I explain they should concentrate on the linking process of these terms with regards to hatred. So "Gay Straight Alliance" equals fine, whilst "Anti Gay Alliance" equals ban. It's not difficult Sony. Banning gay and lesbian altogether just leads those words to once more be categorized as offensive and that - as we covered before - helps no one.

Audere Semper by Elisa Flavi - Female protagonist point and click adventure game


We like our old school point and click titles here at the LG, they hold a lot of sweet memories. So when we spotted a point and click adventure in development at Adventure Productions AND it features a female protagonist, we thought we'd give it some visibility.

The game in question is "Audere Semper: by Elisa Flavi" and its slated for a Q4 2009 release. The game features female protagonist Elisa Flavi, a journalism student longing for a real story. Needless to say adventure ensues as the young wanna-be journalist gets more than she bargained for.

Yes if you haven't guessed already, this week it's time for some Mirror's Edge, complete with live reenactment. For music game fans there's also a cornucopia of melody as the girls take on SingStar 3, Rock Band 2 and Microsoft Lips. Let's not also forget the usual lovely viewer feedback.

Microsoft Lips features LIPStick Lesbians


We spotted an amusing faux lesbian advert for Lips this week and we popped it into this weeks episode of Gay Girls Who Game. For those of you that don't watch the show - why not?! - we thought we'd pop the advert in here so you didn't miss it. Lets face it how often do you get to see two cute girls playing up to each other in a game advert.

Is Penny Arcade homophobic - Nah probably not


Let's start this by saying Bonnie Ruberg is a favorite of mine, I like her wit, her style and she's always been supportive of us here at the LG. There's an interesting piece at her site - Heroine Sheik - that went up last week discussing homophobia and if the guys at Penny Arcade fit that mold.

Given we know of at least 2 BIG gaming sites with homophobic %$@&! at the helm, along with one major publisher whose PR seem to also fit the moniker I figured sure, maybe they are, but who's gonna care. Turns out they're probably not homophobic and that the comic at the center of the issue was based on something far more disturbing. Bonnie says 'More Soon', so we look forward to her thoughts following the comments she received.

Crossing the eBay Animal - When Animal Crossing and eBay collide!


You know we like our crossovers here at the LG and thanks to guest writer Elizabeth we've got an insightful one to head into the weekend with. Are the worlds of Animal Crossing and eBay in fact the same place?

Liz explores this hypothesis and points out eerie similarities, like repetitive patterns of buying and selling, how some sellers say 'rare' when they mean 'fake' or 'not rare at all'. She states "You buy some purple pansies and on planting them realize that they look suspiciously like white cosmos. Anybody who has ever bought anything off eBay knows what I'm talking about!!"

Gay Girls Who Game - Episode 2.20 [42] Tomb Raider Underworld, Gears of Wars 2 and Animal Crossing City Folk


The end of season creeps ever closer, but that doesn't stop the A-Grade titles still getting the thumbs up, or down by our very own Gay Girls Who Game.

This week the girls look at Tomb Raider: Underworld. Can Lara Croft do it again? There's also the lowdown on muscle-fest Gears of War 2 and a look at Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City! (Or for US readers Animal Crossing: City Folk!). Let's not also forget the usual viewer feedback.

You can check out Gay Girls Who Game episode 2.20 - that's season 2 episode 20, or if you like nice round numbers, that's episode 42 all up HERE.

Funny Band - Taking music game peripherals to a whole new level


Every now and again a games press release stands out, not for it's well written description or honesty, but for other more dubious or amusing reasons. We thought "Funny Band" was one such release, so good we wanted to share.

Funny Band takes the Rock Band / Guitar Hero games idea to the next level, it crams all the instruments into one peripheral... space saving? You betchya! You get the Guitar, drums and keyboard all rolled into one... full presser and image after the jumperoo.

Heavy Rain - More a head game than a hand game


You know we've got Heavy Rain on our gaming radar because we like its cute baby butch hero, but we're also looking forward to it for other reasons and Sony bigwig Michael Denny has been talking up the game and why he thinks it's going to appeal to the hardcore and casual gamer.

In the interview Denny states "It's a game that when you look about and when you understand it, it's really not played on the control pad, as in your head." Given developer Quantic Dream's last big title "Indigo Prophecy" (Fahrenheit) we're assuming he means this game will be an emotional headfrak with a different game mechanic to the usual run and gun. If that is the case it's fine with us.
