You ever have a feeling that when you buy a game cheap you expect cheap. Well this is one of the games that should be cheaper.

Story line

The main protagonist, Sakura, is trying to save money to survive and to make sure she doesn’t get kicked out of home. So she needs 15,000 yen for electricity. Days later she needs an additional 50,000 for rent. She starts off working at a bakery and then gets a job at a convenience store. She gets manhandled at both of these jobs. She also gets sexually assaulted. She eventually gets “noticed” by a tittie bar and decides to work there. Still needing more money, she realises that she can start to charge 10,000 yen a pop for sex, instead of being assaulted, at which point she starts to dwindle into promiscuity.

The Good

• The graphics are really nice
• Costumes look good and they allow you to activate certain scenes depending on what is worn
• Free roam and plenty of choices that split off the story into different directions.
• The main game play is as a top-down play style and when conversations occur it then shows proper cartoon images

The Bad

• Japanese voicing in key sentences especially during seduction scenes
• Japanese moaning
• No English translations in some dialogues and some menus
• The music is very forgettable
• Beware of the toilets!!

The Ugly

• The English translations are atrocious as it appears that they are doing a word-for-word translation rather than a sentence-by-sentence translations. It emphasises the fact that the Chinese have bad English. I would be very glad to do the translations for them.
• True → Ture
• Start → Satrt
• Breasts → Bubbles or Bubbies
• Trigger words: Rape

Bottom line

The steam version is censored but you can search the net to find the uncensored version

This is a good game if you don’t like doing a lot of reading. There are some good points and a lot of bad points.

So recently I have decided to go back to silently streaming/recording videos for my own mild amusement.

Todays video is a four part edition of me playing the remastered BioShock game that I got free off steam, due to having the originalish games previously procured on steam.

I have to admit, that the game looks nice but pretty much feels like I am playing the original game that I am rather use to, which is not a bad thing. I have yet to encounter any problems that other players have expressed while playing the game or I just don't care enough to really notice since I am rather enjoying the game, it's like walking down memory lane and that makes me rather happy as both a person and a gamer.
I am slowly gaining the courage to speak while gaming but until then, enjoy the videos and lets hope I make more to keep this up as a habit.

I started this game a few days after the initial release.

From what I have played, I can form a mini post about how I think of it. despite this review sitting in draft for a while and me long finishing the game, I will still share a short initial opinion before writing out a full blown review.

This little beauty came out some time ago and it joins the brigade of the recently obtained loot.

Considering I have played the first game some time ago and gotten quite addicted, I was very pleased to see that the second installment has managed to be seen on shelves here and even better that I manage to get the game and at a bargain price of $23, you would not believe how elated I felt when I took this baby home.

Considering I should one day do a review of the first game, I shall start with the second one for now.

Below is the following views of a vocaloid game fan.

So I procured this game some time ago and I finally got round to playing it between study and life. 
This is my first impressions.

So, you start off with Claire and Moira.
The intro only gave so much and the next thing you know, you are trapped in a prison. Unsure of where you are and why you are there but you do have a trusty bracelet with a voice that somewhat mocks and educates you. 

The mechanics of the game is simple, to a degree. You can switch between Claire and Moira and exploit their unique skills, such as Claire’s markmanship and Moira’s flashlight.

The enemies are a bit of a pain and you need to rely more on shooting weak points, they are not always their heads. This also applies to when you play as the other two characters.

The point of this chapter in Claire’s case is to escape the prison and find some help. After a lot of learning to play and backtracking with little direction, you manage to get out and find a radio tower. Which is great, considering here you find out you are trapped on a fricken island (code Veronica much).

Then you switch over to Barry, whose goal is to save Moira.
Here you meet Natalia who is more than what she seems.

She is, personally, the most helpful character in the whole game. she can see where the enemies are, I mean, how bloody awesome is that.
So, after going through the prison, again, you manage to also take an even longer route to the radio tower, but big news awaits you there.

That is the gist of chapter 1.

I personally like the build up for the next chapter and what this whole game contains and I look forward to playing more at a later time.
