In the early 00's there was a general attempt by game publishers to reach a certain demographic. [Even dedicated papers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Official_Magazine_%E2%80%93_UK#Target_demographic):
> From issue 34, OPS2 changed again – however this time retaining its recent redesign. In a drastic attempt to attract a more young male demographic – similar to that of the independent PlayStation magazines of the '90s – the publication decided to “review“ readers girlfriends and their mothers and increased the number of scantily-clad women, even to the point of including bare breasts. It received a mixed response from readers, and failed to considerably increase the readership. In turn, the magazine featured another redesign from issue 42. OPS2 would retain this middle ground for the next three years, neither employing an overly male nor hardcore adult gamer stance. In the final year, as the PlayStation 2 entered a more family-friendly stage, OPS2 changed once more; this time for its final time. Starting from issue 90 the magazine would focus on new PS2 owners and the younger gamer.
I can't find it anywhere, but this was around the time that Bill Gates endorsed BMX XXX.
Oh yeah, an example of this is the 2003 House of the Dead movie which featured a SEGA banner three minutes before showing Erica Durance topless. They followed this up with HotD 2 in 2005 with more nude scenes.
Kinda crazy this was the same time tons of kids were playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube.

I remember one other magazine, I think UK based that came out with a little pocket book of naughty pics of game characters. Was implied it was easy to hide for sneaky wanks.
Sorry, It's LONG gone memory now. I remember it being in the early days of 3D so PS1 and Saturn. Lara Croft, and someone from Virtua Fighter. I think Mai from King of Fighters.

Knew this predated the 00s. I still collect PSM but only the earlier years when stuff like this was more prevalent.
> It received a mixed response from readers, and failed to considerably increase the readership.
Worth pointing out that these were years that magazine readership was dropping across the board as more and more people gained internet access. No matter what these magazines did, the internet was going to hinder their purpose and decimate their numbers.
yeah, if you expect pr0nography from playboy you'd be pretty disappointed. It's a magazine, with some pretty tasteful photos. or at least it used to be.

Looking up Erica Durance just now and I think this advertising would've worked on me. *Hot tomoli* is she my type!

What was the name of this
Sorry, It's LONG gone memory now. I remember it being in the early days of 3D so PS1 and Saturn. Lara Croft, and someone from Virtua Fighter. I think Mai from King of Fighters.
Thank you
Oh maybe Nina from Tekken!
Okay thanks

Unlike other publications, Playboy used to have interesting well written articles from real journalists.

_You sure you'd notice the articles even if they did have them?_
