The Guy Game: Remember this game?

The Guy Game: Remember this game?
Why does this game seem like something from the “extreme” 90s?
The game came out in 2004 on X-Box and PS2.  Basically, the game is a ripoff of You Don’t Know Jack with tits.  You get to answer questions from the game and your female avatar will remove clothing.  The other portion of the game has a D-bag host asking questions to various “Hot” girls.  If they get the questions wrong, they have to take their tops off and show their boobs. 
It was certainly a cross between Girls Gone Wild and You Don’t Know Jack. 
I put this game under the same creepy genre as the DOA volleyball game.  Why would someone want to buy this game for the boobs, given the Internet was around during 2004?  Take away the boobs and you get a lame trivia game. 
Okay, gamers are a lonely lot, but this game seems to be peddling to the guy gaming crowd.  I’m all for nudity in games, but this just seems like a game built around the nudity. 
And, don’t get me started with the D-bag host. 

 Tasha?  Tasha Yar, I thought you were dead.  A guy from one of the videos above remarked this woman looks like Tasha Yar.  She really does.  Just make sure there are no giant talking oil slicks in the audience.  (Yes, a TNG season one reference)

What the hell is wrong with that guy's expression?  Is he farting on the girls/  Who in marketing thought that putting this douche in the forefront would make people want to buy the game?  Given the focus on him on the cover, I would have thought the game was only about him with us seeing him taking his top off.  Oy...
This has to be the first video game to transport STDs to the player.  An, you thought the Wii and Connect were interactive.

Don't forget it was also pulled off the market because it features a 17 year old girl disrobing.

Yeah, that's right. I believe she sued them too. I guess it was really like Girls Gone Wild.
