VG Vixens Return To Playboy
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."
Perhaps it's because both the porn industry and the video game industry are dominated, and run mostly by males?
Who are the "ladies" that theyll be showing?
Random cheerleader from football game
Random girl that was already topless in God of War
Random gang-banger chick from 50 Cent
Random porn star from the Playboy game no one played
Non-main character female from Darkwatch
Ive never even heard of Hellgate: London, maybe it has a female main character that few people have heard of
Print porn has been going down the tubes over the past decade as your average younger pornhound has easy access to free stills and video on the internet.
Laptops and handhelds (computers, not models or anything else!) are taking away one of the great advantages of print porn -- transportability.
Hef's company knows it needs to get some of the younger generations (i.e., 18-40) back into the (center)fold.
Playboy and Penthouse have always tried to get famous, beautiful, female personalities for their pictorials, from models to actresses to musicians to athletes to Miss America. Why shouldn't they have pictorials featuring modern famous, beautiful, female personalities, even if they are from video games?
Maybe Playboy can get some new people to appreciate all that print porn has to offer.

I think source could do fine.
Plus, who really wants to see a bunch of dudes?
Ummm chicks? And gay guys.
The days of the digital watch are numbered.
