In memorium

Play Magazine


What better way to remember the fallen than to give you the entire Girls of Gaming, volume 1? These really are excellent books, which you can buy right here.


This post is also to celebrate me finally getting off my butt and upgrading the site. Because if I hadn’t, I would have had to add all 105 images manually. Come in and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Cover Up

Namco Bandai


I am simply OUTRAGED! at the changes made for the US Soul Calibur IV website. Contrast and compare with the Japanese site.

Sappin mah sentry

Valve


I’m desperately trying to find higher-res versions of these amazing chibi girl recreations of the Team Fortress 2 characters. All I have to go on is this site, which isn’t much help given my lack of moon language mastery. Please leave a comment if you know anything further!


Anyway, see them all inside, and again apologies for lack of hi-res pics.

Dear Nell

Nintendo


You know I fell in love with you the moment we first met. Your cute Barbie-like exterior hiding nerves of steel, your intelligence offset by the adorable little beauty spot on your cheek.


But then things changed, didn’t they? In Black Hole Rising, you started to look different. A little Special Olympics. I’m sorry, that’s cruel, I know you were just trying to improve yourself. And by Dual Strike, you did recover, but it was a fake glamour. The fresh-faced innocence was gone.


I’ve moved on. There’s someone new. Her name is Lin.

Crimson Tide

Capcom


First post of the year, and it’s actual news! A poster over at NeoGAF uploaded scans of the latest copy of Famitsu, revealing a new character from Street Fighter 4.


As you’ll see inside, this new girl - who goes by the name Crimson Viper - looks like she walked straight out of SNK’s King of Fighters series. I’m not sure if that particular direction is where Street Fighter should go, but I definitely am pleased to see more females :)

Girls of Gaming 2007

Playguy


This came through during my downtime so I know it’s a bit late, but that magazine with “Play” and “Boy” in the title published their annual Girls of Gaming issue last month (December 2007 is the cover date), and as usual I’m disappointed that it’s just an excuse for a marketing push for random current games (Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, Kane & Lynch, Jericho, The Witcher, ANOTHER Conan game, and Tabula Rasa).


So save yourself the price of the dead tree version and see ALL the pics inside. Unless you really want some crappy pics of Kim Kardashian.

HADOUKEN

Capcom


Sorry for the lack of updates recently, it was unavoidable. But flipping through the latest EGM I was reading about Street Fighter IV, and feeling inspired, I knew I had to post.


Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Girls of Street Fighter, from Chun-Li to.. Area?! Oh, and one dude. A really hot dude.


Enjoy more than 60 (mostly) high-res pics inside.

Le’d Back

Elizabeth Le


Elizabeth Le makes pretty girls. Actually, she makes prettier boys, but this is SimGirlz, so you’ll have to head to her site to check those out.


Over here you’ll have to make do with some beautiful high-res pictures of several of her Painter pieces.

Zu Lander

IGG


New character sketches have been released for Zu Online, the latest in the deluge of “free” MMOs.


There are simply too many of these games to care about this one particularly, but at least it has some pretty girls, six of which you’ll find inside.
