At least the Ming vase wasn't damaged.
Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior is a game I received bundled with first-person hack and slash Shadow Warrior. In Shadow Warrior, you play a classic action hero, taking apart legions of demons with a katana and an arsenal of guns. Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior follows the story of the janitor tasked with cleaning up the protagonist's mess.
When you come right down to it, Viscera Cleanup Detail is a very tedious game. Mopping up one or two pools of blood makes your mop dirty enough to have to take another trip to a water source for cleaning, and each individual body part has to be carried to a special disposal bin. In some ways, though, I think that's the point of Viscera Cleanup Detail-- the actions of the gun-toting hero have consequences, and while destruction can be fun, someone has to take care of the mess at the end.
Video games, of course, are not the same as reality, and it is possible to enjoy a virtual story without cleaning up after yourself. I think it's important, however, to have that one boring janitor simulator out there to remind us how outlandish games really are.
