I'm just going to go ahead and assume that our readers are curious enough gamers to already be aware of the Cho Aniki series of games, popularly revered as the most homoerotic series to ever be published on home consoles. Exclusive to Japan for the past sixteen years, the first (and arguably least provocative) Cho Aniki game for the Turbo-Grafix 16/PC Engine was released for the North American Wii Virtual Console last week. The one that people really remember, though, was the 1995 sequel Ai Cho Aniki, in which you finally got to play as the musclebound meat cakes Samson and Adon, flying around psychedelic environments and battling, well, weird shit. The game's energetic mardi gras soundtrack is certainly charming, a wonderful bonus of being one of the early CD-based console games, but it lacks a certain sense of irony inherent in its source material.
I really had no choice but to play Xiu Xiu here. As a quirky, sexually ambiguous, provocative artist, Jamie Stewart routinely produces songs that are simultaneously pleasant and unsettling. It adds a bit of a serious tone to the otherwise outrageous gameplay, but that is definitely not a bad thing. I would warn that the video below is possibly NSFW, but if you're looking at Hooksexup from work, you're probably just asking for trouble already.
Xiu Xiu are also no strangers to mixing video games with their music as two of their recent music videos ("Muppet Face" and "Boy Soprano") have been set in fictional games, as seen below:
