10 Video Game Characters Who Bared Nipples Before Mario

Being a demi-god means you're a step above trifling mortal matters such as covering your mammaries. It's irrelevant how many beasts are unleashed from the lower depths of Tartarus in a violent attempt to flay your front figs off: a practical breast-plate is out of the question when you've worked hard on such a physique so rock-hard even Medusa would be jealous.

Nipples are a common theme throughout God of War, though for some reason only those of Kratos' female friends were open to outraged gasps and censorious cries. Didn't bat an eyelid at the fact the game's protagonist journeys to hell and back with no concession to 'dignity'. Though who would tell a man carrying two blades sharper than a papercut from a Nabokov novel to cover up?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
