Gaming’s 10 hottest male characters

 - March 24th, 2011
There’s certainly no shortage of sexy women in video games. But what about the hottest male characters? Who are the pixelated guys that the ladies love to perv over?

Ubisoft’s Outland Sounds Awesome

Did you play Super Stardust HD on the PSN. It’s a fantastic little twin-stick shooter, essentially Geometry Wars set on an orb – and easily one of the best games available on Sony’s download service (And it’s been updated to be 3D, too!.)

Prince of Persia Director Hates Games

 - July 29th, 2010
Mike Newell is the director of such things as Four weddings and a funeral, Love in the time of cholera, and Mona Lisa smile. He’s also the guy who directed the Jerry Bruckheimer produced Prince of Persia, starring the rather toned Jake Gyllenhaal. It’s ended up being a pretty decent popcorn flick, and one of the better videogame to film adaptations. He must have some sort of appreciation of ... [»]

Local blogger Pfangirl has put up her latest Girlz 'N' Games comic, this time centering on the new Prince of Persia. The film or the new game – your choice. It’s a look in to the effects of alcohol, bravado and probably Jake Gyllenhaal’s bare, barely Persian chest on bedroom role-playing antics. I tried to instigate a bit of geeky bedroom roleplay of my own once. Just the once. I dressed up as Ben Kenobi, fully prepared to show my lady ... [»]
