Back in January, we wrote that THQ Wireless has signed a multi-year agreement with Playboy to release a series of Playboy-branded mobile games. The first title, Playboy Games: Pool Party, is here available through major mobile carriers in the U.S. for $6.99.

Here’s what the official release says about the game:

Playboy Games: Pool Party’s objectives include getting the party into full swing through challenges set by Playboy models. Gameplay comprises a set of fun mini-games depicting animated, bikini-clad Playboy beauties at the world-renowned Playboy Mansion engaged in pool-party sports including: pool jumping, poolside water-balloon fights, Frisbee throwing, and bucking-bronco rides. Playboy Games: Pool Party is a light–hearted game inspired by fun activities at the world-renowned Playboy Mansion and immortalized in the Playboy Home Entertainment DVD release, Playmate Playoffs.

Best of all, you don’t have to pick just any bunny to play with. You can create your own character by customizing the model’s look — including hairstyle, bikini, shoes, stockings, jewelry, and accessories. As you progress through the various mini-games, additional accessories become available.

The way I see it, customizing a bunny is good enough for a successful game. Anything extra just adds up, though. ;)
