Wii Game Sets Guinness World Record For Most Swearing

Wii

No, you're not reading The Onion. The House of the Dead: Overkill for the Wii has been officially inducted into the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition for a staggering 189 uses of the 'f' word. The title recognises Overkill as the most profane video game in history. Even more impressive is that the campaign is just three hours long, meaning you average at least one f-bomb a minute. It makes up three percent of all the words used in the game.

"It is a dubious honour to receive such an accolade working in an industry where so often the fruits of your labours are derided and dismissed for being puerile or irresponsible, but in the case of The House of the Dead: Overkill a little puerility was the order of business," said Jonathan Burroughs, the game's writer.

"Parodying the profane excess of grindhouse cinema was Headstrong Games' objective and I am flattered that this record acknowledges that we not only rose to that challenge, but entirely exceeded it."
