VG Vixens Return To Playboy

Posted by Zonk on from the because-we-don't-have-enough-problems-already dept.

Chris Morris talks virtual nudity in his latest Game Over column, as videogame characters return to the pages of Playboy magazine. From the article: "[Game characters to be featured in the magazine hail from] Midway's upcoming 'Blitz: The League', Sony's megahit 'God of War,' Vivendi's '50 Cent: Bulletproof,' 'Playboy: The Mansion - Private Party,' 'Darkwatch,' and 'Hellgate: London'. While nude video game characters are nothing new for Playboy, the October issue hits stands just as the storm surrounding an unlockable sex scene in 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' begins to pass. The magazine said it never considered delaying the layout."

    I'm sure that 50 Cent game is going to be a masterpiece. Press Y to sell out.

    They're stressing the fact that they don't want to be associated with the "Pokemon generation". So they release collectible trading cards with video game characters that you need to collect by buying two different products.

    Gotta catch 'em all!

    Perhaps it's because both the porn industry and the video game industry are dominated, and run mostly by males?

    And you think some of those males aren't gay and have a thing for tough ruggedly individualistic digital types who kill monsters, but have a tender side they would only show with the right person? Ahhhh only in my dreams.

    Now to post this anonymously. . .wait! D'oh!
