Olivia Munn Not Nude, Not For A Lack Of Effort

Just What You’ve Always Wanted: A Playboy MMO

3:00AM Owen Good | Actually, “Playboy Manager” wants to be called a MCOG (Massively Casual Online Game). I’ll call it a FaPS. It arrives this summer and is free and browser-based, so you can play it one-handed. More »

Playboy’s December Issue Undresses The ‘Girls Of Gaming’

10:40AM Michael McWhertor | It’s that time of the year again, the season when video game marketing departments ask the art staff to whip up a naked version — as if someone on staff didn’t have one squirreled away — of the heroine or sidekick appearing in their latest non-triple A game and send it to Playboy magazine. The men’s mag has shipped its December issue with the fifth annual “Girls of Gaming” pictorial, full of nekkid video game starlets in sexy, sometimes Sapphic situations. More »

Grace Kim: Guitar Hero World Tour is a ‘Ripoff’

8:00AM Owen Good | Back when we told you the story of how Grace Kim became Playboy’s Miss November, and how she was secretly getting super freaky with Rock Band while she was doing PR for Guitar Hero, word trickled back to me that her former boss at Activision was not the happiest person in the solar system. I’m thinking that disappointment will only deepen after this video, in which Grace plays Guitar Hero: World Tour on G4TV, is asked for her opinion of it, and calls it “a little bit of a ripoff of Rock Band.” She disses the drum kit, too. She did have a kind word for the Guitar Hero franchise, however; she said GH III was more aesthetically pleasing than World Tour. More »

Activison’s Ex is Now Playboy’s Miss November (And She Prefers Rock Band!)

4:00AM Owen Good | It’s easy to empathise, because we’ve all been there, or close. You have your 9 to 5 job, it’s a good gig, the work’s interesting. Then an amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes along and you have to sneak out to chase it. Grace Kim, as Activision’s PR lead for Guitar Hero, was in that spot a year ago in October 2007.

Playboy’s Jo Garcia on Madden

7:00AM Owen Good | No, not in THAT WAY. Pwn or Die (the Funny or Die network’s venture into gaming) talked to everybody’s favourite Cybergirl Gamer. She’s insistent that Madden 09 widows/girlfriends will be able to play the game with their significant others and have just as much fun. In fact, Jo’s gonna grab it, and she never thought she’d enjoy a sports title. But the training mode and the dual-difficulty levels for cooperative play sold her. And for you pervs, there’s nothing provocative in this, unless you count the glimpses of the covers of Playboy in the background. Oh yeah, you know you’re looking. I call that the 7-Eleven Eyeball, the scanning “Where is that thing I need” look on your face while you check out the covers of the girlie magazines. Actually, I use that when I’m at the grocery store and looking at Glamour. And Cosmo. And Woman’s World. Dude, the cake on last month’s cover was unreal.
