A video game called House Of The Dead: Overkill has been named the most profane ever by the Guinness World Records.

The well-received game features the F word 189 times, equating to 3 per cent of all of the game's dialogue.

"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," said Jonathan Burroughs, the game's writer.

"But in the case of The House Of The Dead: Overkill, a little puerility was the order of business.

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

As a result of its award, it will be short-listed for inclusion in the Guinness World Records gamer's edition next year. (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/03/17/2518096.htm)
