Want To Be A Digital Hugh Hefner?

Posted by simoniker on from the pipe-and-smoking-jacket-mandatory dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing out that Gamespot has a hands-on preview and IGN.com has another preview of the forthcoming PC and console title Playboy:The Mansion. Somewhat reminiscent of The Sims, but with more blondes, you construct the Playboy mansion itself, then simply relax as Hef, hanging out with your Playmate friends and other celebrities, and keeping them happy. There's even a photo-shoot mode for creating Playboy magazine covers. Weirdness abounds.

    You have to wonder about the what kind of "disasters" will befall the residence of the Sim Playboy Mansion. In the Sims, all you really had to worry about was starting a cooking fire, but I can see all kinds of possibilites for this game:

    • Look out! Nadia showed up to a photo shoot utterly wasted on blow!
    • Uh oh! Buffy and Zora both need to use the bathroom to get ready, but Patricia is hogging it with one of her bulimic epi - I mean, fixing her hair!
    • Francesca's boob implants had a catastrophic blowout, and now the conversation pit is ruined!

    The possibilities boggle the mind.
