Pixel Playboy

According to a recent article on CNN, the upcoming October issue of Playboy will be featuring sexy (some even topless) pinups of some very unusual ladies... femme fatale assassins, martial artists and a half-vampire freedom fighter. They're videogame females, once again demonstrating the power and influence of interactive entertainment in our present day society.
Scheduled to appear are the following: Bloodrayne (Bloodrayne), Mileena (Mortal Kombat), Nina Williams (Tekken), Luba Licious (Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude), Kurenai (Red Ninja), Tala (Darkwatch: Curse of the West). In general, the characters from 'mainstream' games (Nina, Mileena, Bloodrayne, Kurenai) are there to promote upcoming games, and will appear in sexy outfits and poses but will not be nude. The rest of the featured females come from the upcoming crop of Mature-rated games and will appear in topless or nude poses. The absence of any of the ladies from Dead or Alive is kinda significant, but I guess this kind of promotion really isn't something needed by DOA.
Okay, I won't be making a point to get the issue, but if I see it it won't hurt to take a peek... right? Heh...
