There's no way to get around it: Privates is a game about genitalia. While most other games involving the naughty bits of people tend to be of the blatantly pornographic kind, Privates decides to take a different tack and approach the problem of supper happy sexy fun times with a little more humor. Granted, we aren't too surprised, since the game is made by the astoundingly funny, slightly risque, and extremely British Zombie Cow Studios.

Privates follows a squad of troopers as they fight their way through the nether bits of a particularly infected young lady. It's rude and crass and completely biologically inaccurate, but overall it's a load of fun. And dead virus critters, but nobody really likes a load of them. It was made on commission for BBC's Channel 4, which hosts some of Britain's funniest comedies (Mighty Boosh, IT Crowd), so it's no wonder Privates is a delightfully humorous take on sexual hygiene.

The game will run on most current systems, generally any computer on par or better than an Xbox 360, but the video card must support Shader 3.0.

Now this is a rather interesting development. Developer Zombie Cow (the studio behind the stellar indie adventure games starring Ben and Dan) have been commissioned by Channel 4 to create a game about your privates. Specifically, the game seems to be about the danger of unprotected sex and the diseases that can be caught through it. Naturally, Zombie Cow has twisted this into a hilarious satirical perversion called (appropriately) Privates, and that's a good thing.

Playing as a group of condom-hat marines, you must delve into the privates and bottoms of people and blast away at all of the germs and viruses inhabiting them. The game is boasted to be technically accurate, as long as you don't count the marines or germs have teeth, which means that it will be roughly anatomically correct to someone's body. We're sure the game will be educational for those that don't know much about the human anatomy, and hilarious for all players. Release date is currently unannounced, although it is planned for sometime this summer.
