I was just sitting there looking at the computer screen when I notice the banner at the top of the page..... "It's not just the balls that bounce..." with a picture of 4 women in tight tops. The advert is obviously stating that the women's boobs bounce.... OK, so this will sell the game will it? I am female, and fair enough I'm not interested in the female form in that way, but I really cant see how that will sell the game! I know they say sex sells, but why would someone buy a game for the second reason that the characters t1ts bounce in it!! I mean, come on!

Do you get games with men in it, like Medal of Honour or Championship Manager or Monkey Island where they have massive willies and they are wobbling from side to side when they run, so that the female audience buys it!! No....

So why do it with a game like Beach Spikers, which is not soley aimed at the male sex. Neither is Medal of Honour, Championship Manager or Monkey Island... and if they are aimed at the male sex, then they shouldn't be because I'm sure a lot of females play them too. Obviously more males will play, but not 100% of the buyers will be male.

I think from now on games should have a multi sexual advertisments... if they relate to big t1ts, then they should relate to big b0110x!

Uk censorship does not allow it to be shown when above a certain angle. Thats why you dont see it.

Men and motors, yes. Porn channels, no.

Porn channels are as much for women as for men.

My whole point, men would not buy it if it had a guy in it with a bulge or something.... that is pathetic if they didn't buy it for that reason, eben if it had a naked women in it....
