So its ecchi, basically?

It's a great book. I have the first and third issues. It is published by Dave Halverson whom published the best American gaming magazine of the 16 bit era in Diehard Gamefan and whom publishes the best game mag of the last and current gen Play Magazine.

It is really about the creative design processes that went into creating some of the greatest female characters in gaming and it often brings up forgotten characters like Alissa Dragoon and some of the heroines on consoles like the PC Engine and in obscure games like Mischief Makers for the N64.

The books do feature impeccable artwork.

Here is a quote from Play Magazine's article Trends in Gaming, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly April '09 Issue from Dave Halverson:

"More Heroine Please"

"I prfer heroines to heroes; guilty as charged.  Personally, I find it creepy that I get ridiculed for enjoying characters like Nariko or Kameo over some dude.  When Samus pulled off her helmet the first time I was actually relieved...

"So I comment on whether or not their boobs bounce.  The reason for that is that it's often too gratuitous or rock hard, either of which isn't good.  We're going for practicality here, see?  I figure other males might find that type of realism more interesting than the ragdoll physics when soldier boy hits his target.  This is why 9 out of 10 games feature some lug head."

     Bloodrayne was great.  She just needed longer hair.

     Bulletwitch   Okay the cover mechanic wasn't great but Alyssa is a better character than Marcus Fenix.  And I would much rather change her outfits than I would Marcus'.

     New Tomb Raider games are excellent.  Far better than Gears.  The Kazakistan and Arthur Museum levels of Legend are among the best levels ever in any videogames.  The end of Legend is probably in the top five best endings of any game this gen.  It might be in the top 2.  Dave Halverson lists Underworld as his number three game of '08 after #1 Prince of Persia and #2 Metal Gear Solid IV.

     Dead or Alive Spinoffs too bad there won't be anymore.  personally, I can't wait to see what Itagaki does next though.

     I don't know much about Wet, but I'm looking forward to Venetica.  I would love for Rare to announce a new  Kameo next Monday.

     Sex + Games = Win.  For one it shows how far games can come as an artistic medium.  Two the only good thing about Wii Fit is the Youtube videos of girls playing it in their underwear.

Sex sells, but is it always good?

i'd rather have a female character such as Samus Aran, or Terra, or Nariko , or Faith or any character that isnt about "Look at my boobs guys"  kind of personality , that destroys the meaning of "an Artistic Medium" and makes it into a cheap assed sex movies.
