Bishojo game White Album coming to PS3
What the heck is a Bish?jo game, you ask? It is a "Japanese video game centered around interactions with attractive anime girls." In the latest issue of Dengeki Daioh magazine, it was announced an anime adaptation of the 1998 erotic dating-sim White Album will be released along with a PS3 game ...
Fighting monsters and dating boys in Hiiro no Kakera
