Videogame Character Bears All in Playboy - No, Seriously

Posted by Ernest Miller

BloodRayne is a game about a female vampire hunter, a very attractive female vampire hunter with daddy issues:

In 1932 an American teenage girl was apprehended in Europe after carving a path of destruction trying to track down and kill her biological father. The girl's name was Rayne and she claimed the people she killed, and her father who was still at large, were vampires. Before more information was attained, the girl disappeared.

That girl is a Dhampir; a product of her human mother's rape by her vampire father. Born with powers of a vampire without all of the weaknesses. She was taken in by an underground organization calling themselves the Brimstone Society -- a top-secret fraternity that hunts down and destroys supernatural threats. Agent BloodRayne, as she is now known, protects humanity from things that ordinary people shouldn't have to deal with.

Except that part about appearing topless in Playboy (BloodRayne 2 News):
Rayne Makes Her PlayBoy Debut

If you felt teased by her sexy Girls of Gaming cover, then this new feature art is going to blow your mind! Rayne is 100% topless and smokin' hot in the October issue of Playboy magazine. This is a first in videogame history and trust us when we say that Rayne does not disappoint. The magazine hits newsstands in early September so here's a great excuse to get a copy!

Um, okay. The line between airbrushed photos and Renderotica is getting a lot more blurry. BloodRayne image gallery here: BloodRayne.net Gallery.

I can't wait until concerned parents get word of this (among others). In any case, this certainly is a milestone ... or something.
