How Much Did Booth Babes Make During E3?
They weren't everywhere like they used to be, but the return of booth babes to E3 was still noticeable. Noticeable for the boobs, but also for the hard work many of them put in. More »

Russian Booth Babes Defy All Cold War Jokes
OK, last time we did this, we annihilated a web site. So this time, I'm hosting it as a gallery. Thank me later. But Russia just had Igromir 2008, which is its version of E3, more or less, and reader Innes noticed some fine photojournalism coming out of that. Now, if E3 is reconsidering its toned-down, library-quiet, de-sexed version of this year's convention, might I suggest hiring some of these booth representatives from the former Soviet bloc. Holy Bolshevik. Thank God they're holding controllers, otherwise one would think this was the Bada Bing. But I'm sure there were huge developments and reveals and news out of this thing, and I think we should start covering it pronto. So, so, sonotNSFW (stupid double negative), even though there is no nudity (well, there's a bodypainted Far Cry leopard girl at the link, not in our gallery. But you can't really tell.) Also, I'm using the pro-tip for caching pages suggested by reader Tom back during the Kezins Cosplay Cleavage Debacle. Not only that, it's referencing a Google-translated page. So hopefully we won't overwhelm some poor Russkie's bandwidth and we can all enjoy these images safely. The full gallery of 24 images is on the jump. UPDATE: There's also a link to 140 more images, courtesy of the original blogger.GALLERY END Girls Igromir 2008 [Sergey Galyonkin, thanks Innes] Sergey Galyonkin's Igromir 2008 Booth Babes [Thanks Sergey]

Booth Companion Showcase: EA Does More Harm Than Good
We're sure the EA booth companions at Tokyo Game Show had great personalities. Lovely girls, the kind you could take home to mother. But those outfits! Unless they were designed by John Madden himself, the horrible pastiche of red, green, yellow, cyan and camouflage is inexcusable. It looked like Piet Mondrian had puked on a gaggle of aspiring Japanese models wearing potato sacks. This is not how a multi-billion dollar publisher should attempt to lure TGS attendees into playing Mirror's Edge. Tsk tsk. More »

Booth Companion Showcase: Tecmo Stays Classy, Trashy
The booth companion costume designers at Tecmo haven't deviated too far from the norm for Tokyo Game Show 2008. Heels, short shorts and tube tops are being worn in spades at TGS, with a handful of exhibitors (Sony, for one) keeping it a bit classier on the total amount of less flesh revealed. Tecmo went for the industry standard "nearly naked" look, opting for an extra, gossamer thin layer of tacky, shimmering polyester negligee. More »

Microsoft's Booth Companions Bid Adieu to You
Every evening, as the show winds up, the women of Tokyo Game Show line up to form a vast wall of companionship in front of their respective booth to say goodbye to those who stuck around to the bitter end of the day's proceedings. It's kind of a neat custom. Also, it makes for great photos and such. -
Games Convention 2008
Aion Booth Babe Feeling Blue
About ten years ago my mother ran a dancing school summer camp with themes based on Disney movies, and each year around Aladdin time I would get the dreaded call..."Michael? We need a genie." I would then be dressed up by my mother and sister, painted blue, and sat down in a room full of little girls who were convinced I was an otherworldly spirit. Perhaps this is why the blue girl in this team of booth babes representing NCSoft's Aion: The Tower of Eternity wouldn't stop looking at me. There's a special sort of bond that forms between people that have been blue in public for entertainment's sake. More »

Age Of Conan Does Booth Babes Right
Here is an excellent example of the classic booth babe, taken in front of the Eidos Age of Conan exhibit here at GC. Two women, both dressed in outfits that directly mirror outfits worn in the video game they represent. Nothing too racy, nothing unnecessary - they are representing Age of Conan, and just happen to be attractive enough to draw the average eye towards the booth. Personally? I walked past them three times before noticing them, because they are nowhere near as good-looking as my girlfriend, who reads what I write here almost religiously. More »

Ladies And Gentlemen, We Have Booth Babes
They said it was over, but you can't keep a good booth babe down. These two lovely red-haired ladies are representing accessory manufacturer Nyko, the company that stands for tank-tops and hot pants...at least that's all I saw as I entered their meeting room to catch a few snapshots. The one on the right? At least six feet tall. It was daunting, even for me at 6'6". I captured this image and a full body shot you can find after the jump before I found myself becoming the real reason the end of the E3 booth babes had to happen - sweaty, nervous menfolk. More »

Tender Booth Babe Moment (Exhaustion)
Getting ogled by a gaggle of camera-toting press and fanboys—some of whom are super creepy—isn't the easiest job in the world. This model apparently got a little overwhelmed and needed a time out. We're feeling the same way, minus the gross pseudo-stalking aspect.

Booth Babes Return... With a Vengeance
That's it. The show's a wrap. As we walked from the convention hall (actually we were repeatedly asked to leave until, finally, two security guards hovered over for us politely waiting until we obliged them) the trash was being swept into big piles in the corners and the booth babes were streaming through the exits, their no-neck, slabs-of-meat boyfriends in tow.

Tender Booth Babe Moment (Babies)
True story. We were witness to the dark side of being employed as a booth babe when one German flesh worker broke down sobbing in one of the temporarily constructed business booths after hours. After holding in the tears after an all day (we assume) grope session and series of harsh evaluations of her figure by German gamers, she'd had enough. While we worked, the soft sounds of weeping continued to penetrate the thin plastic walls of whatever pissant European hardware manufacturer was paying her her daily pittance. More »

Booth Babes Revenge: Nowhere To Hide
Friday was a bit of a lull, sure it was busier than Thursday, but still not the epic, soul-crushing crowds of today. Not only have the number of attendees increases exponentially, but so have the number of booth babes. Funny how that works. It seems like the naked, but painted Booth Babe is very popular in Germany.

Booth Babes Strike Back: This Time It's Personal
Day two is, well, it just about wrapped up. So we have a ton of new impressions, stories, videos and images to write up for you. Today was the first day open to the public, but the crowds still hadn't reached the fevered pitch expected Friday and Saturday. There were, as expected, many more booth babes strolling the hall, including a topless woman whose body had been painted to make it look like she was wearing a camisole of some sort. More »

The Booth Babes of GC
The Games Convention doesn't officially start until tomorrow, but already the five halls of the con are crawling with booth babes and their gawkers. While the booth babes of E3 past seemed to be tied to their various booths, the woman modeling for companies at the Games Convention wander the floor, some carrying bikes or with Slot Machines hanging from their necks. Yeah, I don't get it either. Make sure to check this post back throughout the week-long show for updated pictures. We'll also be flooding the site with hands-ons from the slew of games, impressions, features and of course, plenty of news. More »

Counter-Counter-Point: What Makes Good Cosplay
Yesterday I posted what I thought to be the best game related cosplay at Comic Con, which were the awesome Lego Star Wars costumes. Later in the day my esteemed colleague Mr. Mc Whertor posted an image of these booth babes dressed as a pirate and a gorgon. While I agree that these are both fine costumes, I must respectfully disagree with his assessment of them being the best cosplay. These ladies, lovely as they may be, were being paid to appear at the event in costumes that while they may be nice, were provided to them by Sony Online and were made professionally. In my mind, true cosplay is created by dedicated fans with a lot of hard work and done for the love of of costuming and not for a paycheck. So bearing that in mind I still stick with my original vote and say that costumed booth babes may be nice to look at, but cosplay is for the fans. Feel free to argue this point ad nauseum in the comments. -

Counter-Point: This Is The Best Cosplay At Comic Con
Sorry, Flynn, but I'm going to have to disagree with you that LEGO Star Wars versions of Darth Maul and Princess Leia win the prize for "Best Game Related Cosplay" as you wrote earlier. I'm going to have to issue that award to the lovely costumed booth babes at Sony Online Entertainment's booth. These two receive the Comic Con cosplay award, as far as I'm concerned. More »

Zoe, The EA Escort
With "Booth Babes" a non-factor at E3 2007, EA Canada opted to up the cheesecake at their recent press event by introducing a new product, Limo Babes. For the brief stretch Excursion ride from EA's Burnaby, British Columbia offices to the Opus Hotel, where the press were shown new software, we were graced with the presence of our lovely "escort", Zoe, whose only purpose was chatting us up. She was one of three ladies hired for the trip, a move that inspired some raised eyebrows and (a real rarity) non-gaming conversation among my gaming press pals. More »

E3 Upskirt Creep Comes Correct
In May of 2005, a GenMay forum jerk named Alex Lorenzen went to E3 in a wheelchair, pretending to be handicapped in order to milk sympathy, lap-sittings and breasty hugs from the booth babes. Not stopping there, he decided to document the whole thing from the bottom up and posted a truckload of upskirts into a now legendary (and completely inaccessible, and as far as I can tell, unmirrored) GenMay forum post.
