The Wii is the home of clueless casual gamers, housewives and grannies: fact. Ok, so that’s not entirely true, but there’s no doubt the aforementioned groups have helped propel the little white box into the sales stratosphere. But while they’re undoubtedly the backbone of Nintendo’s current business model, there’s only so long they can last on Wii Sports and Wii Fit. That’s why we’ve taken some of ... » Read More

If video games were... candy bars?

The Top 7... Naked flesh we didn't want to see

PS3 Feature | Soulcalibur IV

The human form really is a beautiful thing – provided you spend 6 hours daily in the gym and exist solely on Ryvita. If not, it’s something to be covered up, ashamed of and never discussed. Sadly, many developers have no such qualms with nude, fleshy parts. They see games as the perfect forum to roll out a bit of man boob action and unappealing, exposed ass flesh.Got a strong stomach? The following collection of bloated ... » Read More

Characters that fit snugly into Ivy's bra [PICS]

PS3 Feature | Soulcalibur IV

You know, we've been playing with Ivy for almost exactly eight years now. And yet every time we play, we're still taken aback by quite how big her boobs are. Ivy is a Big Girl.

Soulcalibur IV boob physics compared

PS3 Feature | Soulcalibur IV

Gentle reader, we know of your thirst for the finer things in life: vintage wines, sartorial attire, and most importantly, realistic boob physics.
