I just finished playing the demo for the first episode of The Exchange Student by Pan Metron Ariston, which was was released recently.
This game can be read as a very clever way of satirizing games that invoke the stereotypical male desire to get laid. Because it can’t be just a particuluarly campy soap made into a point and click adventure game. No, and do you know why? Because, according to <a href =“http://www.madmonkey.net/page.cgi/index”>anonymous’s review on MadMonkey, Pan Metron Ariston’s initial sales statistics show that 40% of the customers so far are female gamers and therefore, they must must be on the right track.
Interesting.
Being a female gamer myself, I know how well I can relate to a 22-year-old upper-middle-class, upwardly mobile, male university student with slimy hair, who happens to think he’s a sexy beast deserving of attentions from blond, bouncy-breasted women.
In conclusion, possibly 6 men liked this game because they can identify with having to hide adult magazines under their beds. And likely 4 women liked this game because they secretly wonder what the thrill of hiding adult magazines under their pillows is like.
I don’t know if these figures are accurate. I’ve never taken a stats course before but I think I can say with certainty that my interpretation and presentation of the data is absolutely objective and completely free of bias.
