Have you ever played a porn game? No, of course you haven’t. Neither have I. And if I ever did, it would have been purely for research purposes.
This week, in Robot Punch!, we’ll discuss a genre of video game that doesn’t often find much coverage in the media, despite its significant role in the industry: The H-game. Also known as eroge (short for “erotic games”), the genre recently caught some heat and now we’re feeling a little more guilty about ourselves.

Welcome back to Robot Punch! This week, we’ll be taking a look at some of the strange news stories that you may have missed.
You may have heard, but two of the most anticipated releases for this month are Prinny: Can I really be the hero? and Street Fighter IV. As you read this, I’m currently exploding my way through Prinny… Playing while crying, that is, because I really wish I had a PS3 to play Street Fighter IV. Alas, it is not yet my time…

Trailers for both movies have just recently hit the internet. Have you seen them? Yeah, I’m not impressed either.

Don't Be That Guy, Featured Column, PC
For my first non-introductory rant, I really wanted to write an obsolete review. You see, for Christmas this year I received a laptop that has some pretty solid horsepower (compared to my old college desktop that could hardly run Age of Empires II) and in my haste to celebrate my brand new PC I decided to pick up Crysis.
