Matt Randisi writes, "Turn on the TV in basically any city, any country really, and you’re bound to see a handful of sexed up commercials promoting some product. Many of these make it to TV and often we don’t think twice because it has just become so common. Sex sells and everyone knows it well. Yet hypocrisy once again displays its ugly head in the most recent public anti-gaming statement. I speak of the “sexualized” Top Spin 4 commercial which shows Serena Williams and actress Rileah Vanderbilt playing the game in tight revealing clothing while suggestive moans can be heard in the background. Now, some might ask what makes me so sure this is some kind of attack on gaming; let’s explore that."
From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."
GF365: "The US Open is currently underway. It reminds me of the lack of top-notch tennis video games on PS4 and Xbox One. In short: we need a new Virtua Tennis or Top Spin."
Couldn’t agree more. Been too long since I last broke some ankles in a good tennis sim.
I don’t play tennis irl, but these two games series I played the hell out of. Definitely need a new one.
Anna Kornikova’s Smash Court Tennis should have a come back!
Love them bomb blast games
Preferred the top spin series compared to Virtua but since Top Spin 4. Tennis games have been dire and bad. From bad development and junky controls nothing comes close to TS4. Only new Tennis game I've actually enjoyed has been Mario Tennis on the Switch
Microsoft's Xbox E3 2018 briefing is now a week away and it's basically guaranteed to include new Xbox 360 games to be enhanced for the Xbox One X. We've picked five of the greatest titles that could really use it.
I'd say the most important games are the ones filled with fun (filled with fun) and that Microsoft should start there
True. I wish they made more games in their franchises instead of the failure that is Sea of Thieves
@codelyoko
Sea of Thieves is Rare’s fastest selling game of all time, for the record.
@YodaCracker
Not only was it released on 2 platforms, which PC being the first time seeing a rare game. Those numbers are partly inflated by game pass and free trial's for game pass. For the record.
Frankly I don't think that Add is any worse than some of the music videos that come out on prime time television. The media is almost always harsher to gamers because it's still run by people who's last game was Pacman. News media, GROW UP!
Just imagine how much worse it would have been if she was holding a wii controller. The family friendly system. Parents would have loved that.
This sucks cause its like the first time I ever seen serena look half way lookin good and then they gotta ruin it for me.
sexy??? don't make me laugh
"Top Spin 4 Ad Pulled: Is Gaming Unworthy of Sexy Publicity?"
I got a better question... is it necessary? You trying to sell this game to tennis fans or horny guys?
... or horny girls, if you swing that way.
