Guardians of the Crown Jewels

Pass.  Games with music and photographs make me extremely uncomfortable.

The game is very similar to Hummingbirds, by the same developer. The combat (thus far) has been stripped of any special moves, which to my mind is a step backward. You spend most of the time waiting to choose between 3 buttons and whether you win or lose is largely dependant on whether you manage to stun your opponent when they wind up for a big move, which is pure luck. If you fail you're normally stunned and your energy bar is reduced, a double hit that results in an enforced pause followed by a further wait as you do nothing trying to rebuild your energy bar.

There is a scene offered (typically sub) when you lose so you might want to lose once to see what it is, but after that you just want to win to move the story on. However I wouldn't want them stripped out because without them the game is just a short (but expanding) adult CYOA story.

I am not that far in yet, but I really want to note that I just like how sleek the presentation, interface etc., are so far. Really gives it a high quality feel right from the start.

This game has a combat system that seperates the sex scenes. The combat system is just far too slow for my taste and I feel like I'm playing an MMO where a timesink has to stall anything fun from happening. The sex scenes are fun but there's just too much delay between them for me to really enjoy this game. If the combat was a lot faster this would be a lot more fun.
