Quantcast



Playboy Enterprises (yes, the folks behind that magazine with the nude women and excellent articles) has announced that it's launching its own videogame label in 2010.

"According to Playboy user feedback, we know our audience is interested in online videogames," says Playboy Enterprise's managing director of new digital ventures, Paul Lee, "so we’re thrilled to launch a formal videogame label later this year that will meet their needs."

Those needs start being met with a massively multiplayer online game called Poisonville. Developed by Bigpoint, it's a 3D action game where players run missions in a crime ridden city, including vehicles and player vs. player combat. But here's what you've been waiting for: "Throughout the game, players will encounter beautiful, Playboy-caliber women," we're told.

The Poisonville website says you can presumably start playing it right now, so give it a go and let us know what you think.

Had some time to kill so I went to the site but I couldn't get the game to load (my specs might not be high enough). Looks horrible anyway, so don't waste your time (unless you really like those Facebook Mafia Wars types of games).

@Occams

You know, just like most other women in videogames, but these ones will have that special gleam in their eyes, the unshedded tears of a woman who knows she's abused her body by filling it with plastic and cutting away the imperfections, screwed up her hair with bottles and bottles of hair bleach, and knows she's still got a shelf-life despite that.

ugh.....this sorta made me sick. They should've made a Dating MMO, Surrogate style where you can look the way want to. EVERY dude wants to get in the mansion they couldve based it around that, with Playboy mates as NPCs. This was foolish, foolish I say!!! this crap will increase sales in APB.

I think most Playboy customers eat cerial too. Perhaps they will get into the cerial busness. It brings new meaning to Honey Nut Cheerios.

There is already a Honey Nut Cheerios game you can play online, I saw it on the last box I bought, never tried it though. It's some 3d shit where you play as the Bee collecting honey, I think.
