Thank goodness for Singles: Flirt Up Your Life, the interactive relationship PC game that helps polish your pulling power. Players choose a man and a woman - each with their own distinct personality, job and appearance - from a line-up of twelve characters. The couple then shack up and the object of the game is to move them from complete strangers to bedroom buddies through a series of everyday tests, including such danger zones as decorating the flat and career advancement.

Just like in real life, gamers must figure out how to nurture the relationship or risk a messy break up. Those who take their partners for granted are sure to get their (electronic) walking papers.

So far, sooo boring. But the German creators have sexed up the game by including full-frontal nudity and sex scenes, meaning that the game has a racy adults-only over-18 rating.

Finally, a videogame we can get on board with.
