Okay – here’s the first absolutely ridiculous news tidbit from ComicCon 2009. EA is encouraging con-goers to grope, molest, and commit other “acts of lust” with its boothbabes, and then post those photos on Twitter for a chance to win their contest.

I spent a while longer playing Hobo than I do most Free Game Friday titles. It’s addictive. It’s essentially an old skool beam-em-up wherein you play the titular hobo, running through a city beating up everyone in sight.
