Aww...my first review...how cute... Next time I'll try to pick a game that I actually liked. :)

I reviewed this pile back when it first came out and I wholeheartedly agree with your conclusion: it's a shitheap probably meant to cash in on the Larry franchise (for us old fart adventure gamers) and, potentially, teen hormones. The fact that I gave it a 3.2 makes me vaguely nauseous.

However, yes, the Lesbian Nights sequence was so good I had to play through it four times to actually pass. It's probably the only really redeeming point the game has in it.

Spoiler Alert! Highlight to see...
I also got a kick out of the role-played sex scene with Morgan just because I'm an old-school D&D-er and got a kick out it.

Yeah, I got a kick out of the DnD section also.

I never played any of the other LSL games, but I would have given this a 4.5.

It had its moments.

If I had known old stuff was open to review, I could have done this also.

EDIT: For the love of god, fix the screencap placement please. It took me a moment to realise the pics were not actually covering text.

I blame the fact that there were two images about one sentence apart.   :-P  Added some padding; that should reduce the visual confusion.

Might want to pad the pictures in the Doom 3 review as well.

I think this game and others like it only goes to show that people in the gaming industry don't know how to make sex fun.

I think you could extend this statement to the general populace.

I think you could also extend that statement to almost every other area of real life.
