Pheace: The GF really liked Cinders and is really enjoying Loren The Amazon Princess as well. Maybe they just aren't for you :)
That's possible, but then they "aren't for me" in the same way like "Beverly Hills 90210" or any other cheap, badly acted soap opera about "plastic romance and sex while never addressing the subject in a grown up or even halfway interesting manner" isn't for me.
I realize that taste varies, but at some point, I decided that these games are really bad enough to warrant absolute statements instead of just "I didn't like them". Playing them was too painful.
I didn't play the two games you mentioned though. The one's I played were "Bionic Heart" and "Spirited Heart", and there is of course the possibility that I picked the two turds from an otherwise well-written selection. But judging from the writing, game design, and character design that I saw in those two games, I seriously doubt that.
