Maybe I'm alone in thinking this, but Playboy sure does have a habit of showing some rather unappealing naked game character pictures. These two pictures (featuing Beatrice from Dante's Inferno and Madison from Heavy Rain) are from their upcoming January issue and, well, they aren't very sexy.

It's December. That means Playboy magazine dedicates a handful of pages from its end of year issue to naked video game characters, a marketing ploy typically reserved for the year's more forgettable games. But not this year.

The veiny pinup with her yayas out up there? That's the lovely Beatrice from Visceral Games' Dante's Inferno. Below is a very naked Madison Paige from Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain, one of two PlayStation 3 games due in early 2010.

      so disturbing, in fact, that fish icons were used to censor them... you do not want to mix fish and private areas AT ALL.

        Kotaku always censors nudity with fish.

    The issue here is those that like this kind of thing most likely enjoy it from an aspect, that they are seeing a game character naked though using the same assets as the game itself. I mean these images lose relevance when Madison looks different in the illustration above. I think the images would be a bigger success if they used the game graphics as Madison already takes her top off in the new game as it is.

    yes, when taken out of the context of ACTUALLY IN THE DAMN GAME, we all don't give a shit any more.
