While they’re certainly not the first game to offer same-sex marriage, Aeria’s Dream of Mirror Online announced today that they’re embracing the once controversial topic with their new and improved dynamic in-game marriage system. The same-sex aspect of this marriage system is simply one of the many features, but it hasn’t been added as just an afterthought. It’s been a popular topic of discussion among DOMO players since the game’s launch in Fall of 2007.

Linden Lab, the company behind Second Life, announced today a range of new measures meant to finally confine Second Life’s sprawling adult community to a virtual "red light district." Among the new rules going into effect soon are:

* All adult goods and services will be confined to a specific "geographic" area in Second Life, meaning (we think) virtual genitalia and bdsm gear will no longer be offered in Second Life’s malls next to the shoes and custom hairstyles.
* Second Life’s search engine will filter out adult-related ads. (Although we imagine people will try to game the system.)
* Access to adult areas will be restricted to users who go through an age verification process. Linden first proposed age verification mid-2007 amidst a "virtual child pornography" scandal, but the program was never really enforced.

Here’s a sneak peak at the upcoming Grey’s Anatomy game (for PC, Wii, and DS).

Did anyone notice if all the main actors (and more importantly, actresses) are included?

All Star Cheer Squad wants to take your mundane, video game playing butt and pump some spirit into it. Before you can get your rah-rah on, the game first asks you to create the avatar that will serve as you for the remainder of the game. Surprisingly, the option to play as a male was included (I didn’t see that coming seeing as the game is marketed toward girls). After gender comes eyes, face shapes, hair, make-up, and of course, clothing. After you’ve created your peppy little firecracker, it’s time to give them a name and get to cheering! I named my cheerleader Sandy. Hey, I was in a Grease mood!

…

Gameplay is simple: follow through the tutorial mode presented by the cheerleaders where they teach you how to hold the Wii remote and Nunchuk just so in order to register movements. Throughout the game, players will progress through different stages of competitions and practices. A bar on the bottom of the screen will scroll that contains the timing and which movement that needs to be performed. If you’ve played any rhythm games, then this should not comes as a shock. There are a myriad of different moves to perform, such as making L shapes with both arms, creating Vs, waggling the remote back and forth, and other various cheerleading gestures that look best when done by a group of spirited girls.

From Hot Coffee to Mass Effect, the mainstream media has a tendency to demonize sex in games – But amidst the hubbub over male full frontal nudity in GTA IV’s DLC, MSNBC’s Winda Benedetti says Nay! Bring on the Sex! Bring on the Penises!

Boobs sell games. As much as we might want to cross our arms and ‘harrumph’ at how childish the idea is, there are fewer guaranteed ways to get hormone-fueled teenagers (and hormone-fueled adults) to look at a game than putting a buxom, barely-clothed babe on the cover. From Tomb Raider and Dead or Alive to Fear Effect and yes, Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad, it’s simply a fact of the industry.

So why, Benedetti wonders, are people flipping their lids over GTA4’s dingle-dangle? Why were people freaking out over a sliver of sideboob as two adults had consensual relations in Mass Effect?

My question then is this: Video games have been around for decades now. Decades. So when are they – and when are we – going to finally grow up?
