My review was apparently too big for LJ's display limits. As such, I've made use of my failawesome HTML skills to bring the review through another venue.

I'd first like to wish my readers a happy new year. May 2011 bring you all prosperity and well-being ( Read more... )

Yaruge and I almost never cross paths, and the few times we have came to be due to either my curiosity getting the better of me, or sheer dumb luck. As such, I can say I'm not too experienced with the type of content within them. While I guess there is a certain way one can appreciate the constant use of sex and risque language, these type of games ( Read more... )

I slept, rested, and now I'm getting back into things. Had some hopefuls in terms of games, but the one I put my chips on was a damned yaruge. Aside from that, the master up of petit prince is done, and light has announced a release date of September 22. There's some hope yet, but I still have to pray for no more delays.

Swan Song: I managed to ( Read more... )

Maybe it was the mediocre-ness of FutaAne, or maybe the fact that I was trying to force myself to play Starlight Serenade again, but I feel like I need a little break. As such, I'll babble about random things.

The Idolm@ster SP: I finally managed to get the three games released on PSP. So far, I'm feeling quite entertained, even if the game ( Read more... )

As someone who is overly critical of game story content, there is a certain amount of emphasis that I expect to find in elements like conflict and character development. These two, to me, are the primary pillars upon which a plot can be built on, and when used properly can give us some great and entertaining situations and storylines ( Read more... )

It's late around here, and in my lack of sleep I decided to write some things.

PSP: It seems like more "cleaned up" eroge are being released on PSP, which follows the supposed trend set by otome games, as well as companies like leaf and a couple of the other big ones. The more notable examples at the moment are Kazoku Keikaku, which has a set ( Read more... )

With Majikoi and Sakura^2 out of the way, I guess I can talk for a bit of what lies ahead, as well as other things that I have in mind.

R.U.R.U.R. -petit prince-: Much to my dismay, this game was pushed back to June. This means I'll be waiting for a little longer than I wanted, but no biggie. No new details have been put up as of yet.

FutaAne: I ( Read more... )

Despite common expectations, eroge in their entirety rarely fall into the love triangle genre. While one could argue that having multiple female "leads" in a story is enough for it to qualify, the story structure more often than not keeps the heroines and their respective situations/stories separate from one another. The result is a more character- ( Read more... )

The use of martial arts has been sporadic, and to an extent, quite limited when it comes to anime and games. One could probably argue that the main reason is that martial artists as characters have very few uses in terms of story progression, and their relative level of power could jeopardize story-relevant conflict. This is primarily why they are ( Read more... )
