While some of the games we&#8217;ll be looking at are unabashedly low brow, displaying their raw sexuality like a badge of honor, other games in contrast are remarkably subtle, often downplaying their suggestive themes.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Today&#8217;s series entry, which is the sixth, features the\u00a0extreme sports\u00a0game, <em>BMX XXX<\/em>. While the purpose\u00a0of this series of articles is to bring mature insight and some fun to the subject of how sexy is portrayed in videogames, it&#8217;s important to note that our latest subject is a game with few redeeming qualities, which, sadly, appears to have been its raison d&#8217;\u00eatre:<\/p>\n<h2>BMX XXX<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Developer<\/strong>: Z-Axis<br \/>\n<strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Acclaim Entertainment<br \/>\n<strong>Initial Release Date<\/strong>: 2002<br \/>\n<strong>Platforms<\/strong>: Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2<br \/>\n<strong>Game Type<\/strong>: Sports<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the medium often seem under the false impression that videogames are primarily played by horny 13-old-boys, a kind of sociopathic stereotype that&#8217;s rife for a cringe inducing comic relief style portrayal in a bad TV show or movie. Of course, the reality is videogame playing spans every age, gender and interest, but with millions of games produced over a span of more than 60 years, it naturally follows that there will be a few prime examples of games that seem designed by and for that very stereotype. In fact, one such game, <em>BMX XXX<\/em>, was purposely built to be a type of videogame version of the <em>Lord of the Flies<\/em> conch shell, calling out to all the horny pubescent boys to come buy a copy. Apparently these boys were to have access to one of the three major videogame consoles, but inexplicably lack similar access to either late night cable television or the Internet. Unfortunately for publisher Acclaim Entertainment, who went fittingly &#8220;bust&#8221; just a few years later, such a wild scenario never played out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1767\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1767\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1767\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01-1024x681.png?resize=1024%2C681\" alt=\"The &quot;edgy&quot; case insert.
