While Activision may have decided to delay the release of Blur from this fall to sometime in 2010, they haven't forgotten about the upcoming action-racing game from developer Bizarre Creations. Far from it, in fact, as Blur has been designated one of the official sponsors of Maxim's 2009 Hometown Hottie contest.

It looks like the 10 ladies who were picked as the 2009 finalists in the magazine's annual beauty contest are going to be part of the game's promo campaign. Maxim recently posted up a video showing the ladies being filmed in front of a green screen. Each of the finalists was wearing a t-shirt with one of Blur's power up symbols. We are not sure if the ladies will be incorporated in the final game product or if this is just for an upcoming game trailer. Still, there's nothing wrong with the finalists showing their . . .undying support for the game. You can check out the video after the jump:

You know you have a hot product when you have a hot chicks pictorical on Maxim to promote it. In the case of BioWare's upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins, Maxim has a brief photo gallery on their web site that shows off two of the real life female models behind two of the game's characters.

One features the mage Morrigan (seen in the screenshot above) and Maxim shows the character alongside the human model played by Victoria Johnson. Another character in the game, Leliana, was given visual life by another model that's apparently known as "Alleykatze" (a quick Google search discovered her real name Alex Stein). While we doubt Maxim will help BioWare sell any extra copies of the game, perhaps this will lead to seeing more features of models who are visual guides for games. Left 4 Dead, we are looking at you.
