My ‘Naughty Bits’ Got Noticed

naughty_bits.jpgOver at PCWorld  back on Tuesday, December 25, 2007 They did an article on The Year’s Most Offensive Video Games: The first five and they mention Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, I guess they liked my article! They quote me at length here as “respected game site WomenGamers.com” :

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is pretty much your average bloody buddy movie: A mercenary and a medicated psychopath go on a violent and chaotic spree of redemption and revenge. But what really upset people was the marketing campaign. “We’re hunting for a dangerously sexy vixen with the goods to make us moan,” reads an ad for a contest sponsored by IGN, MySpace, and Playboy. The ad was illustrated with a topless model coquettishly clutching her naughty bits. Unfortunately, the quest for a pinup girl had nothing whatsoever to do with the game. Said respected game site WomenGamers.com: “The next time people say, ‘The industry does not objectify women,’ we will point to that picture and this contest.” For: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC; Developer: IO Interactive; Publisher: Eidos Interactive
