10 Games I’m Looking Forward to Making Fun of in 2009

10. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Because if there’s hooker-on-stylus action, I have a week’s worth of posts.

9. Henry Hatsworth
Because I’m insecure in my masculinity, so rather than just enjoying a game called “Henry Hatsworth”, I need to make fun of it to prove I’m not a little girl.

8. Scribblenauts
Because I can’t wait to see if it recognizes “dildo”.

7. Wet
Because the gross, gross puns reviewers will attempt in writing about it will make for a quote round-up to end all quote round-ups.

6. The Beatles Game
Because playing as Ringo Starr will either be infinitely sad or infinitely awesome.

5. Dante’s Inferno
Because unlike the development team, I’ve actually read Dante’s Inferno, and I can make awesome Vergil’s Aeneid jokes all day long.

4. Mass Effect 2
Because they’ve got to top that sex scene, and massive space orgies are a comedic gift that keeps on giving.

3. 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
Because the complete implosion of someone’s career and credibility is always a good source of laffs.

2. Metal Gear Solid: Touch
Because nothing quite emulates the nuances of modern war as an iPhone clone of Whack-A-Mole with Metal Gear Solid characters.

1. Halo 3: ODST
Because it sounds like Halo 3: STD, and I am that fucking immature.
