7 Sins mini-game info
14th May 2005Because life in the 7 Sins universe can wreak havoc on the emotions of the player, there are many different mini-games available to sooth the ego, calm things down a little to keep your conscience in check. Here's a little taster to whet your appetite...
Envy
They have it, you want it - it's as simple as that. Fortunately, in 7 Sins you can just go out there and take it, as long as you don't get caught in the act. Rifle through the coat pockets at a nightclub, dip your fingers in the till at work – wherever there's cash, there's an opportunity for you to grab it.
Greed
Okay, so you have cash in your pocket, but you want some more – why not distract one of the rich and famous while you help yourself to the contents of their wallet? You'll need to be pretty sneaky and grab it quickly, but just make sure you don't get caught red handed!
Gluttony
Overindulgence is second nature in 7 Sins, but everything has a consequence. If you abuse the alcohol on offer, it's going to make you sick. Get to a space where you can puke discreetly, or risk shaming yourself in public and destroying your hard earned reputation. Breath mints are not going to be enough for this one...
Pride
Not everyone is a fan in the 7 Sins universe, and some of the characters you'll meet can do serious damage to your ego. Boost your sense of self esteem by reminding yourself just how fantastic you really are. Find a mirror, and recite the mantra..."I'm the BEST!"
Sloth
Feeling a little jaded from all the hectic social interactions? Need a little R&R to ease your stress levels? Just find a quiet corner and take a quick nap, and count those little fluffy sheep to help you drift off into dreamland. Of course, this being 7 sins, there's a dark twist in the shape of that circular saw...
Wrath
Keeping your cool is not always the best option, and sometimes you just need to vent your frustration by giving someone a good, hard slap! Why not indulge in a little play fight to show them who's boss and retain your masculinity...
Lust
Keeping your libido in check is essential if you want to avoid upsetting the locals. But with all those lovely ladies parading around it's going to be tough to remain calm. Give yourself a little treat with some voyeurism, and if things are going well enough, engage in some good old fashioned sex!
There are plenty more mini-games to enjoy, as well as a host of unique characters and some pretty racy encounters to be found in 7 Sins. Start living life on the edge when the game is released on PC and PlayStation 2 on 20th May, priced £19.99 and £29.99 respectively.

7 Sins released 20th May 2005
5th May 2005Continuing from the earlier lessons in love from the 7 Sins universe, Digital Jesters offer players a little spice for the their love lives with the top five places to get it on with the ladies.
So once you've found the woman of your dreams and reached the point in your relationship where sex is definitely on the cards, get off on getting it on in one, or all of these places:
5 - The Apartment Bed
Not the most original of places to slip into something more comfortable, which explains its place at the bottom of the list. Perfectly acceptable for the more reserved lovers, but without an audience or the chance of discovery, the excitement factor is dangerously low.
4- The Shower
Hot, steamy and a perfect place to get down and dirty, then scrub yourself clean and wash the sin away. Plenty of scope for fun and games with the soap bar too! It's more adventurous than the bedroom, but still lacks that extra risk of getting caught in the act.
3 – The Changing Room
Not one for the claustrophobic Casanova, but the fitting room is a perfect for a quickie while you try out that saucy new lingerie. It's a tight squeeze, and with nothing but a thin veil between you and the other customers, the excitement factor is drastically increased.
2 – The Nightclub
It may not tickle everyone's fancy, but for those who just can't wait until they get home, sex on the sofas in a darkened club can be a serious turn on. With party goers and keen eyed bouncers milling around, it's one for the daring and the devilish to try.
1- The Shop Window
Live life on the edge! - The ultimate exhibitionist fantasy is something only the serious adrenaline junkies should try. In plain view of the public, shoppers and the store manager's watchful eye, this blatant sinful sex act could only ever be held at the very top of list.
7 Sins will be available for PC CD-ROM and PlayStation 2 on May 20th 2005, and there's plenty more saucy action to be found...if you're feeling sinful enough to try.
