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.

That didn't come out right.

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.

Having covered that ass, hit the jump for a closer shot of the ladies of Hyboria.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Does Booth Babes Right


Ghostbusters: The Video Game looks fantastic. Each time we've walked past the multiple kiosks showcasing the game at Comic-Con this year, we think "Must remember to play that at some point." What Sierra clearly understands, though, is how to appeal to Ghostbusters fans. Shorten the pants, expose some cleavage, then fill out the skimpy Ghostbuster uniform with women who look pretty for a living. We'll take one of whatever they're selling.

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.

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.

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.

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 »
