If you don't care enough to watch it and read the article (I think you should it does put forth some interesting thoughts on the subject) basically during your "date" sequence you play sexy ping pong and through machinations in results in cleavage and jiggle physics.

As dumb a mini-game as it is the actual way it works is kind of interesting. When you actively playing you have to choose between keeping your eye on the ball or eyeing up the girl to charge up a bar that lets you pull off a special hit that results in increased boobage.

It's a waste of a pretty cool concept, I can't think of any games that give you a choice between playing normally or actively handicapping your own performance for a potentially game winning shot. Anyone ever seen this? Can you think of any interesting uses for such a mechanic?

Like you said, a waste of a really cool concept. Can't think of a better way to put it.

As for a better use for it, I can't really think of one except ANYTHING but boob physics.

Yeeeeeaaahhhh...

...

Interesting concept gameplay-wise. The, shall we say, context could do with some alterations.

Y'know, I'd be curious to hear from some females on this one. Do the womenfolk consider this to be offensive/objectifying/etc or just harmless fun?

PS. Do people really get exited about pixelated breasts? I like boobs as much as the next guy, but when they're rendered in pixels there's no reaction at all.
