Top 10 Games You Should NEVER Play in Front of Your Parents!

Not only should you NOT play this game when the ‘rents are home, but you shouldn’t even let them see the box. A cute blonde whose playfully smirking at you as she teases at the straps of her tiny dress? Yeah, this is not the girl you take home to mother, but it is, apparently, (22:40) the girl you cheat on your girlfriend with... who also has a questionable cover. Yep, mom and dad won’t like that, either, or the infidelity, and they prooooobably won’t be fans of the brutal deaths that can occur in each challenging puzzle.

#9: “Grand Theft Auto” series (1997-)

The 10 Weirdest Unlockables In Grand Theft Auto Games

A series where “grand theft auto” is the smallest crime you can commit, these games are the posterchild of video game controversy. We assume that the developers always take bets over which country is gonna ban their content first. Most of the characters are criminals who steal, kill, steal and kill, sell drugs, do drugs, pick up prostitutes, drink hot coffee ….you name it, and GTA has it. We suppose there are characters who are trying to live a better life, but let’s face it, they’re gonna end up stealing, killing, stealing and killing...

#8: “God Of War” series (2005-)

Hey now, the God of War series isn’t bad, it’s... educational? It is loosely based on Greek mythology, and they did nail the part about the gods being assholes. Oh, and all problems stem from Zeus. Kratos does have a good reason to want to murder everything in his path, he’s just very... thorough about it? And sure, he can sometimes be the cause of his own demise, but he always makes up for it... by ripping off people’s heads, stealing their abilities, and partaking in sexy mini-games. See? Not so bad, right mom? Dad?

#7: “Conker’s Bad Fur Day” (2001)

Conker's Bad Fur Day Retro Review

Was trolling a term in the early 2000s? If it was, then Rare definitely perfected it. After such wholesome games like “Donkey Kong Country” and “Banjo-Kazooie”, this... we’re gonna be honest, this is INGENIOUS! Sure, they’d stepped outside of the kid-friendly box with games like “Killer Instinct”, but mashing together the cutesy, storybook style of Banjo with a literal giant pile of shit that... that SINGS? When this game came out with that giant M label, we didn’t believe it. Just look at how fluffy Conker is! Awwwww, he’s... hungover, isn’t he?

#6: “Manhunt” series (2003-07)

Manhunt: Retrospective | MojoPlays

While Grand Theft Auto is a blended together mess of wrongdoings, Rockstar Games has one extremely brutal schtick with this series: murder. Yeah, there’s a plot in there somewhere, but let’s be honest: this game’s selling point is the numerous ways you can kill people. These “executions” are broken down into three categories: hasty, violent, and wooooow... THIS is why your parents don’t allow this game in the house. With the game actually grading you based on your kills, we’re fairly certain you’d be grounded for all eternity if you’re caught playing it.

You know that awkward guy in the tacky suit who looks like a sleazy car salesman? Yeah, that guy has a video game series, one that revolves around one key plot element: having sex with a hot girl. We have to admit, there’s something about that quirky music, cartoonish art, and bizarre, comedic moments... not that your parents will see that, they’ll see the naked girl in the hot tub and either yank this game right out of your PC. Or you’ll end up having one of those Jim’s Dad conversations you’d really REALLY want to get out of.

#4: “South Park: The Stick Of Truth” (2014)

If your parents don’t let you watch the series there’s no way in hell they’re gonna let you play the game. Much like the South Park movie, the raunchiness has been turned up several notches. As the new kid in town -- lovingly nicknamed “Douchebag” no matter what -- you take part in a fantasy game that, in true South Park fashion, escalates quickly. The humor the series is known for shines through with the game, complete with a fun, ridiculous plot, plenty of gaming references, and if you were really unlucky where they walked in during the scene where the protagonist is underneath his parents having sex, God help you.

#3: “Mortal Kombat” series (1992-)

10 Times Mortal Kombat Was CENSORED

Ah, Mortal Kombat, the series that responded to the controversy surrounding its violence by implementing Friendships, Babalities, and even bloodier Fatalities. At the time, the most brutal imagery we’d get in fighting games was a picture of your opponent’s beaten and broken face, but Mortal Kombat added something a bit more... perminent. Grotesque fatalities have become a bit of an artform with this series whether it’s poking fun at social media, or... being Ermac... Other games have tried to mimic the brutal magic, but none have come close to capturing the MK charm that ruffled the feathers of senators across the country. #2: “HuniePop” (2015)
