THQ continues to
grow its licensing buffet and recently added Playboy Enterprises to the menu.
GameDaily reports THQ Wireless will develop "lifestyle themed" mobile games using the Playboy name that will ... eh, "not have nudity" in them? Looks like someone missed the point of this license. The first title expected this summer is
Playboy Games: Pool Party. So, adding insult to injury, its a Playboy pool party with no nudity? Yup, little confused on this issue.
The multi-year agreement between Playboy and THQ didn''t have a public dollar number attached to it. Hopefully at some point they'll make some "move-the-tiles-around" puzzle game to put back together the
digi-boob girls Playboy featured for the last four years. What's the fun of playing a mobile Playboy game if the old lady next to you on the train doesn't gasp at naked bunny
Peggle?

Granted, it IS odd there's no nudity - but considering how bad drivers are doing things on the phone featuring the lack of nudity... I don't even want to imagine how bad driving/traffic would get knowing some d00d's fappin' in the toll booth lane adjacent to jammed traffic.

This is the only type of game where graphics should be superior to gameplay.
Boo cellphones.

My god. First THQ hires the guy from EA to spice up their innovation IP front and he worked on games such as "Harry Potter" and now they acquired a playboy game making studio. All for the sake of them to "go in a new direction"? Man I don't know what they are thinking... but they sure as hell aren't helping themselves here. They're going backwards!
