Playboy Tries To Put The Sexy Into Online Video Games

What is it with the combination of video games and hot chicks? Oh yeah, they both appeal to young, sweaty men. Playboy.com is getting into the online video game business through a partnership with Bigpoint Games. The first game will be Poisonville, which is kind of like a browser-based version of Grand Theft Auto, except that the characters are “beautiful, Playboy-caliber women.”

Poisonville is a 3D, massively multiplayer game where you are part of a gang of Playboy models who shoot the cops and blow things up. Yeah. Enjoy the trailer below.

I don't think they got the formula quite right. What Playboy should do is team up with GameCrush, and charge their young, sweaty customers a gazillion dollars to play Poisonville against real live Playboy bunnies.

    I've been waiting for something like this press release to tell you about my perverted idea of a great video game. My game works like this:

    You earn points by doing the following:

    1) Mercenary work where you rescue and protect hostages

    2) You invest your mercenary pay in corporate "games"

    3) You outlast Donald Trump in an obstacle course.

    then,

    With enough points, you get either (Disney actress) Brenda Song, Selena Gomez, or Miley Cyrus.

    Then, based on your points, you get your designated actress doing pole work or in a VIP room session.

    Both of these ideas are dumb, although this:
    "team up with GameCrush, and charge their young, sweaty customers a gazillion dollars to play Poisonville against real live Playboy bunnies"

    ...would like make some serious money.
