Make mods, not war

'Katamari Damacy': The 'paper or plastic' mod
After rolling their ever growing sticky ball up and down hallways and through streets collecting everything in their path from paper clips to kittens, players must sort out their sticky items in the appropriate bins reserved for paper, plastic, aluminum, glass and two dozen other receptacles for organic and inorganic waste. Failure to finish sorting in time replaces “Katamari Damacy’s” loveable Japano-pop soundtrack with cuts from “The Best of Yoko Ono.”

'Medal of Honor': The 'war really is hell' mod
The World War II series where players single-handedly win the war gets a dose of realism with this mod which replaces the panoramic battlefields of Europe and the Pacific for a dirt hole in the middle of nowhere. Players win by keeping their characters' heads down and not moving for eight hours.

'Star Wars Galaxies': The 'get a job' mod
Installing this mod allows participants of the massively multiplayer online role playing game to access the classified listings from their local newspapers while still playing the game. Essential reading for those long commutes between Tatoonie and the wookie planet.

'Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball': The 'banana slings' mod
The 2003 title that combined beach volleyball, nubile beach beauties and the “jiggle cam” long before those cheerleaders at the Athens Olympic Games gets a much needed update with an all-male cast. Choose from a variety of players: Chelsea boy, suburban dad, pasty blogger, etc. Then dress them in short or shorter-shorts and tap into the discomfort your girlfriend feels when she walks in on you playing "Final Fantasy." Also includes “back hair removal" option.

'MVP Baseball 2005': The 'players' union boss' mod
With sports games dedicating more play to the franchise mode where players act as mini-Steinbrenners, this mod rectifies a huge gap in the so-called real sports genre by giving props to the players' union. Choose lawyers to represent your players. Engage in walk-outs. Defend your players from nosy senators during congressional hearings on steroids. Refuse to deliberate on drug testing for bonus points.
