10 Games You're Embarrassed To Admit You Play

1. Bayonetta

BayonettaWhat People Will Say: You're an S&M fetishist. Bayonetta is an extremely entertaining, brutal hack n' slash action game that pits you as a female protagonist who, shall we say, fills out a leather catsuit quite nicely. The game doesn't have a clue what the word "subtlety" means, and so goes about parading her around in the most suggestive poses and camera angles for our apparent pleasure. Still, as a male gamer, it's pretty condescending, not to mention a source of embarrassment given how good the game actually is. With its silky smooth combat mechanics, the game should be able to sell itself on that rather than the borderline-sexist portrayal of the main character. If anyone walks in on you watching a cut-scene where the main character transforms from a nude figure into a leather-bound temptress, they're going to make a few assertions about your sexual preferences. I'm just sayin' Which games are you embarrassed to play? Let us know in the comments below.
