20 Most Offensive Video Games Of All Time

1. Oíche Mhaith

Well, that was quite a journey, time for a palate cleanser. Maybe something that peers into the dark recesses of human nature from outside of them rather than from smack dab in the middle of their most racist, exploitative and lonely quarters. And for that we go to Terry Cavanagh, creator of VVVVVV (a game with a title purposely designed to drive reviewers mental) and a whole bunch of other stuff that is just about as awesome. Cavanagh is no stranger to using the medium to send a message as in games like American Dream in which you play as a stockbroker within a surreal world that only allows you to buy, sell and maintain your apartment which is constantly going out of style. Oíche Mhaith (it means "good night"), meanwhile, is a story of horrendous child abuse, murder, zombies and only the sickest kinds of love. It's definitely worth playing and it's available for free from his website so there's really nothing stopping you other than your own tastes. That's all for now but if we missed any games that you think are truly offensive then please let us know in the comments. Oíche mhaith, everybody!
