Lego My Bimbo

If you like the “idea” of playing video games, but are not very good (me), I would recommend picking up a copy of Playboy: The Mansion (Available for Xbox Consoles, PS2, and PC). As a young Hugh Hefner, it is the player’s goal to build the Playboy Empire through sexy parties and putting together the Playboy magazine every month.
By hosting events, the player “Hef” can build friendships and business contacts. These parties and events give the player the opportunity to charm celebrities, political figures, musicians, and sports stars. This also gives the player the opportunity to invite friends into the inner circle and maybe find a girlfriend or two.
The more glamorous the parties, the more fame is to be had, as well as finding more fascinating, attractive people to fill the magazine. On the business side, you have to hire staff to take photos, and to write articles for the magazine.
There are 12 missions in the game, and some of the goals include making and/or fixing relationships with people, publishing certain magazine content, and throwing parties. Players can also choose not to achieve goals, as there is no time limit, and do other things such as parties, mansion renovations and playing with the mansion’s variety of games; however, magazines must continue to be published as that is the player’s income source, as parties and items cost money.
Ultimately, the most entertaining aspect of this game is that it gives gamers the opportunity to rub shoulders with stunning virtual women and escape into the fantasy world of Playboy. This article is dedicated to the Halo Lego Zanzibar map kid (shown below).

A very sterile and bland article, but much better than your last one. Thank you for not offending gamers in general.
Was the game fun? Did you enjoy it? Was it worth $60? What about the moral implications of playing such a game (I know you enjoy that topic). If I wanted to know what happened in the game I’d read the back of the box. If I want to know if it’s any good, I’d real an article on the internet about it.
Oh, wait…

How old is this game? Are you serious? Who the heck is the Lego Kid? What does that have to do with anything?
Try harder.

Or I can hit the 7-11, spend six dollars on the magazine, and still have enough money for any game besides this one.
Please, don’t be afraid to trash a game. This one clearly deserves it…unless it comes with a custom accessory.

Kind of irritates me that you can get a job like this largely off the back of your ‘getting fired by Nintendo’ thing, despite your clear lack of knowledge or even interest on the subject. Hmmm.

The whole article was a setup for the joke in the last line. I think that’s pretty damn funny.

I thought it was really a pretty good overview of a game coming out. Take it easy on the lady, she is doing a pretty good job. She is feeling out the readership, those of you who know how to write should know that.
