Because gamers love nothing better than hot chicks, any promotion material for a title involving scantily clad glamour models is sure to inject nothing but the word “want” into millions of potential customer veins. In turn, this will obviously send hordes of bleary-eyed zombies flocking to their nearest game store to pick up the product in question. That’s the mantra of Eidos and and Warner Bros. right now, anyway. They’ve decided to delve into the completely relevant world of sexy women in order to sell PC and Xbox 360 tactical WWII blaster Battlestations: Pacific.
If you’re wondering just how this ingenious plan ties in to the game’s universe, the answer is simple: nose art on fighter planes, baby! Head over to www.bombshellbeauties.com for your chance to stare longingly at Playboy Playmates Tailor James and Irena G, while pretending you are actually using the site the way Eidos intended.
Striking all kinds of poses, the models have their own separate clips and outfits for you to choose from. By slowing down and speeding up the movie, or zooming in and out, users are able to capture the image that suits them and their Spitfire best. The final pictures are then stuck to the nose of your plane and can be manipulated in many ways and then shared across the internet.
These marketing guys really earn their money with this stuff. Who wouldn’t love this idea? It’s obvious that only the “boys” referred to by the models on the website will ever have the slightest interest in this game, right?

I’s also like to point out the fact that the shot above depicts a girl with a rather white arsed tan line.
Ahh! She found the top secret nuclear fission engine prototype that looks similar to a blue beach ball. Thank heavens!
Thats a bit of a misleading headline. Since when is a model for Playboy ever refered to as a porn star? Whats next? Maybe SI swimsuit models are porn stars too? weak.
@Annoyed, Ever tried Google?
I’m keeping this clean for a reason.
Hello, what’s the name of the brunette haired model? Irena G…? Full last name please. Thanks.
@Daniel Clancy. Keeping it clean? You missed the point. You made the headline dirtier than the actual content of the article, and my complaint is simply that you that you miss-attributed the moniker “porn star” to models that are not necessarily involved in porn.
@Annoyed
Pornography is both hardcore and softcore. It does not necessarily need to be referred to explicit sex. Individuals who pose naked in magazines can safely be referred to as porn stars.
Playboy models ARE porn stars. There’s not even a gray area, it’s black and white.
Haha it’s so awesome how the internet seems to know the definition of hard-porn, but has no idea what soft-core means.
Haha, that’s a pretty broad brush you paint with in order to justify your sensationalistic headlines. I guess by your definition anything that presents a nipple or more constitutes porn stardom?
The act of being naked does not make a porn star. Having pictures taken of you while you are naked does not make a porn star. Playboy is not porn. Playmates are not porn stars.
@Annoyed part 2
Finally some sanity!
So according to you NadaNuff and Andrew Bennett – Jenny McCarthy, Pamela Anderson, Anna Nicole Smith, and Marilyn Monroe are all porn stars? They were all in Playboy. If individuals who pose naked in magazines can be referred to as porn stars, there is an incredibly long list of actresses that should all be considered porn stars by your definition. It seems you people believe that photographic evidence of someone being naked makes them a porn star.
I’ll say, I got all excited when you said they were porn stars, but then I realized they were only nude models. Shame on you guys, now what am I supposed to do with ‘this’?
@Annoyed people! Irena G sticks dildos where the sun doesn’t shine in photos on the internet! (Porn). Pamela Anderson made a porn film with Tommy Lee! (Porn). Just like Anna Nicole Smith did some sordid business!!
@Dean Hanson, it’s just “G”.
ps. My tone is light-hearted here!!
I won’t speak for Tailor James, but getting your vagina out for photos is rather pornographic if you ask me… Try telling your other half “it’s not porn… no no”.
If I’ve got the wrong Irena G, I apologise – but a quick Google of the name reveals some rather explicit content (don’t do it).
Definition of Soft-Core Pornography
Softcore pornography depicts nude and semi-nude performers engaging in casual social nudity.
Believe it or not, a lot of Maxim pictures, where the girl is covering her nipples with her hands, are classified as soft-core by definition. The title was a bit sensational, in that it could have read “Soft-Core Porn”, but hey, where’s the fun in that?
This isn’t news. This is just silly advertising. If is saw this up on digg, I would bury it.
I love how the word “porn” in a heading causes people to click and then when there is no filth involved they are really disappointed.
@Daniel “I love how the word “porn” in a heading causes people to click”
Now wouldn’t it be great if you could write an article worth clicking on without resorting to such tabloid tactics.
@haha, My article was, in fact, aimed at a gaming industry that all too often misrepresents and underestimates its audience.
The popularity of this article proves them right, I guess.
The headline was a reflection of what is actually going on, not a tabloid tactic.
Ha, BS justifications like that, and non-news items like this one ensure that readers will continue to frequent better gaming news sites, while leaving you on the virtual news stand alongside the other National Enquirer like “news” sites. I agree with Farkaroo, I’d hit the bury button if there was one to hit.
@haha, certain other sites actually post soft porn to get readership. I’m guessing you probably frequent those.
I mean, you probably didn’t see our site before you clicked on the word “porn”, afterall.
Necromancy. You have the wrong Irena G. The Irena G used for Battlestations doesn’t look anything like the porn star Google brings up. Completely different facial structure, hair color, and eyes.
Regards.
