Booth Babes, Cosplayers and Mascots: You're Not Doing It Right
Gamescom has a lot going for it but, with a few admirable exceptions, cosplay and booth babes shouldn't be included in that list. More » -

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 » -

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 » -

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.
