Yes, there are. My memory is very fuzzy on this, so someone is going to have to help me out. Quite awhile back, Electronic Gaming Monthly showed screenshots of a side-scrolling spaceship shooter-type game. At least, I think that was the gist of this Japanese game. The only difference between this game and other games of the same genre was that the background art showed scantily clad men (maybe they were supposed to be statues your ship was flying past?). Anyway, the only reason I remember this is because readers started complaining EGM was anti-gay for not saying more about this video game, but EGM's defense was that the game had such horrible gameplay that it wasn't worth writing about.

Yes, the game you are referring to is Cho Aniki. It is a series that dates back to the days of the PC-Engine. The game has also been released on Saturn and PSX. It is pretty funny and it's actually a decent shooter - if you can find it, you should check it out

Yes, EGM did feature screen shots of ChoAniki: Great Brother. Your ship was basically a naked man that shot penis weapons out of his crotch. A lot of the enemies were naked men who appeared to be humping each other from behind. While it did have appeal as a homosexual shooter, EGM really said that they didn't like it because it was just generally a poor game. It played poor, had bad graphics, and the only good part was the homosexual aspects of the game.
However, EGM, not being done in by double standards, did give the game some coverage.
A more recent game that includes intense themes of lesbianism is Fear Effect 2: retro helix. The two main characters, Rain and Hana, fall in love and have various scenes together where they engage in romantic affairs, but there's nothing explicit, and it's only in there once or twice. EGM rated the game fairly high because of the great action adventure aspects and the puzzles. So i guess they're not a bunch of pigs after all.

I don't remember any gay themed games, but I do remember quite the controversy over the original SimCopter.

From what I remember, the main programmer behind SimCopter was gay, and was upset with all the bikini clad chicks that the publishers were making him put into the celebration at the end of the game.

He snuck in some easter egg, where if you did something just right, when you won, a bunch of speedo clad muscle studs showed up! Obviously, Maxis was seriously peeved, and rereleased the game with the offending speedo guys removed.

There is a gay in Sims. If you did it right, you'll see same-sex kissing. But I only saw female do that.

Cute. Last time I played Sims was couple of months ago. I don't really like to play that game, anyway.

Actually you can have your sims gay when ever you want. You can have a life parnter. I almost accidently turned my Sim gay. I gave a guy a back rub then there was a option for a kiss, and that was messed up, I never invited that guy back over

I'm gonna have to agree with Desmond on this one. There are plenty of heterosexual threads out there that aren't really "mature" type threads.

JoeC...sticking up for my right to be gay...even if I'm not...and I'm not...not that there's anything wrong with that...

Thanks to ShadowKeeper, I was able to rig the romances in Baldur's Gate II to make my main character a bisexual whore...

Hey I have a Lesbian love triangle in my Sims home. I'm serious. I had 2 women who were 'life partners'. Well, they kept inviting over the next door neighbor hottie (who was married and had a kid BTW). Well, now one of my Sims is in love with BOTH of them, and the 3 women live in my house together. It's funny too, because the one that doesn't love the new woman REALLY hates her (like a -55).

Muhahaha!

I think you're right, I need a life...
