In the ‘80s and ‘90s, and even earlier than that, sci-fi authors were obsessed with the idea of virtual reality. From early cyberpunk landmarks to blockbuster films, the idea of strapping on a helmet and being transported to an alternate reality has been explored across hundreds of books...

Most turn-based mobile RPGs have pretty similar combat, for better or worse. For fans of the genre, a comfortable baseline experience means that they’ll be able to adapt to new games easier, and in a way, that structure is comforting. But some players are looking for twists on the turn-based f...

A classic of Chinese literature (not to mention the inspiration behind an awesome TV show and prog rock album!), Journey to the West is the epic tale of the mischievous monkey king Sun Wukong’s unlikely path to enlightenment. Angering the gods, the king breaks free from Heaven and goes on a ma...

It’s that special, spooky time of year. There’s a chill in the air, and with it comes a primal yearning for something to go “bump” in the night and scare us senseless. We find familiar comfort in the seasonal fear, both in the terror itself and the fleeting, peaceful hours be...

Plenty of role-playing games advertise how big and open their worlds are, but that only goes so far. Sure, you can take three hours to climb a fake mountain, or hunt down mystical creatures from the comfort of your basement. But some of us want a little more action out of an open-world RPG experienc...

Last time, we walked you through the history of porn games in Japan – how they came to be, their rise to fame, and how they reshaped anime culture for good. But while we covered a lot of ground overseas, we didn’t spend much time elsewhere! While Japanese audiences got to bask in the glo...

Last month’s Premium Pick featured some kinky BDSM domination action, and this month’s choice continues that trend! This time, however, the tables are getting turned just a little bit. If you’re the type who likes worshiping your women and calling out to your “mommy” in...

A few months back, we took you through the storied past of adult gaming – from its humble text adventure beginnings to its multi-million dollar success stories. In that piece, we briefly touched on the rise of the visual novel in Japan, and how the genre would go on to propel adult gaming to n...

“What’s a you-ni-tee-uh?” you might be wondering. (That’s okay – we were too!) See, UNITIA is a sexy game with a serious JRPG plot, and it leads with that in the titling. DMM’s latest takes place after a cataclysmic event which sees two worlds colliding with one a...

If there’s one thing gaming doesn’t have enough of, it’s Norse mythology. At Nutaku, we’ve got plenty of lusty historical ladies, but only a few of them have roots in that most ancient trees, Yggdrisil. Believe it or not, though, our pals across the ocean at DMM have an impor...

They say good things come in threes, and if that’s the case, then Super Seducer 3 lives up to that expectation. The hotly buzzed FMV PUA simulator is back and better than ever, with hours of new interactive video and plenty of realistic dating scenarios for you to navigate. If you’re unf...
