Games Gone Wild - The Rise Of The Adult Title? 37
Thanks to GameSpot for its article discussing the alleged rise of the adult videogame, despite recent statistics that revealed "sales of Mature-rated titles were on the decline." The writer notes that the ESA "may be spinning the market-share shift as an overall decline in M-rated games demand", but goes on to mention: "The same week the ESA was saying interest in M-rated games was waning, the most-searched-for game on GameSpot was [previously covered M-rated title] The Guy Game." Elsewhere, Game Girl Advance has an article talking about new German-developed PC title Singles: Flirt Up Your Life!, in which "2 out of 12 possible archetypal characters (the eponymous 'Singles') wind up living in the same apartment... Your job is to make them get it on."

* Popotan is very cute with lots of ecchi scenes, not X rated tho...
* KGNE is drama and has some very strong dramatic scenes, very good. Again the originating H source isn't noticed.
* Tsukihime is a very nice and intense story about vampires. If I wouldn't have known it's based on an h-game, I could never have guessed.
* Da Capo is a nice bishoujo (pretty girl) anime, with a guy or two and many pretty girls and all of them like that guy... in the start it's cute and simply shows some standard life scenes... later on it becomes moodier and more interesting.
