Food: It’s delicious.

Gaming (Manhunt 2) most horrific sex scenes
Whatever your opinion about sex in videogames, the simple fact is this: games won't really be taken seriously as an art form until they can get certain things right, and one of those things is sex. It's an essential component of film, music, books, paintings and even television, and yet gaming lags sadly behind.
Part of this is because games still haven't quite shaken their kiddie-toys stigma, but mostly it's because the rare games that try to get sex right almost never do. The results of their endless efforts tend to range from mildly off putting to outright mortifying, with varying levels of ugliness and hilarity in between. Maybe someday, we'll see an in-game love scene that doesn't make us recoil in horror - but in the meantime, here are 13 that did.
