VN of the Month January 2008 - Fortune Arterial
Don't want to call anything a masterpiece this month, but Fortune Arterial fits the best to be VN of the Month
VN of the Year 2007 and POLL for EXTRA review
Year 2007 is great for bringing two full 10/10 masterpieces Draculius and Dies irae and many more very nice visual novels. You all know that winner is Dies irae as it's probably main visual novel of all times. First version from 2007 was quite raw, and there are some funny negative reviews from 2007-2008, but light found inner strength to polish this version and even freely give away it to original buyers. New portion of Visual Novel Openings 2007 with songs.
VN of the Month December 2007 - Dies irae
Dies irae is VN of the Month. Oh, well, now there won't be intrigue about VN of the Year. Himawari is another masterpiece. For review I chose Love & Dead by LiarSoft in hope for absurdist comedy.
Demon Parasite ~Akuma no You na Tenshi no Kanojo~ デモンパラサイト～悪魔のような天使の彼女～ [Ocelot]
Foreword: It's the only chunige of the month, so an obvious choice.
VN of the Month November 2007 - Demon Parasite ~Akuma no You na Tenshi no Kanojo~
Wow, there are as many as six masterpieces this month - Aster , Kira☆Kira , Sekai de Ichiban Dame na Koi , Sekien no Inganock -What a Beautiful People- , Soshite Ashita no Sekai yori , Demon Parasite ~Akuma no You na Tenshi no Kanojo~ . I'm choosing the last one as VN of the Month, and will explain this choice in its review.
Boku ga Sadame Kimi ni wa Tsubasa o. 僕がサダメ 君には翼を。[Akatsuki Works]
Foreword: Akatsuki Works first game can't be missed.
Xvain エクスヴァイン ~Devil Out~ [Studio e.go!]
Foreword: Why is there only like two Japanese reviews for a game with this classy setting? The Japanese must have overlooked another great game, and I'm restoring it to due glory. Or so I thought.
VN of the Month October 2007 - Boku ga Sadame Kimi ni wa Tsubasa o.
Boku ga Sadame Kimi ni wa Tsubasa o. is VN of the Month. I'm reviewing it as well as Xvain ~Devil Out~. There is another masterpiece this month - Happy Margaret!
Tsurugi Otome Noah 剣乙女ノア [Tail Wind]
Foreword: It's the only fantasy battle game of the month, so it's a natural choice to play.
8665^2 Haruruko no Jijou 8665^2 ハルルコのジジョウ [Rune]
Foreword: There have been a lot of H parodies of Haruhi Suzumia, but this one seems to be a mild absurdist parody developing on the themes of the anime. Or do I expect too much from a game by Rune?
VN of the Month September 2007 - Tsurugi Otome Noah
Second month without masterpieces. I'll probably settle with Tsurugi Otome Noah as VN of the Month. Reviewing it, as well as 8665^2 Haruruko no Jijou .
TV no Kieta Hi テレビの消えた日 [Petit KeroQ]
Foreword: What is Petit KeroQ? Why creating a new brand was needed for this game? Those are the questions I seek answers for.
VN of the Month August 2007 - Ninkyou Hana Otome
Don't think I can call any game a masterpiece this month. I'd choose Ninkyou Hana Otome as VN of the month. I'll review TV no Kieta Hi.
Bullet Butlers [Propeller]
Reconquista レコンキスタ [Cotton Soft]
Foreword: Cotton Soft debut work Natsumegu did not snatch stars from the sky, but Reconquista seems to have a totally different, serious approach and thus arouses interest.
Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate - 恋する乙女と守護の楯 The Code Name is Shield 9 [AXL]
Foreword: It seems to be one of most popular games of AXL with multiple console releases and even almost full translation, such game just can't be missed.
ExE エグゼ [Yuzusoft]
Foreword: I'm not sure scenario author of Braban can provide a worthy chunige, but I'm ready to be surprised.
Draculius ドラクリウス [Meromero Cute]
Foreword: Vampire stories fail to impress way too often. Tsukihime, Hellsing and Masquerade are the only positive examples I can remember. I would not mind trust reinstalled with some new title.
VN of the Month May 2007 - Draculius
Draculius is VN of the Month. There are several other games with high scores, but I'm not ready to vouch for any of them.
Zwei Worter [Clock Up team Dyo]
Foreword: Clock Up team Dyo creates pretty conventional SF games unlike its older brother, so Zwei Worter is a good time to get acquainted with it to get ready for Rune Lord.
Shirogane no Soleil -Successor of Wyrd- Unmei no Keishousha 白銀のソレイユ－Successor of Wyrd－ <運命の継承者> [SkyFish]
VN of the Month March 2007 - Shirogane no Soleil -Successor of Wyrd- <>
Shirogane no Soleil -Successor of Wyrd- <> is the only masterpiece of the month.
Utsurigi Nanakoi Tenkiame うつりぎ七恋天気あめ [Caramel Box]
Foreword: Caramel Box is loved by me for rich in detail worlds, so I'm approaching Utsurigi Nanakoi Tenkiame with high degree of skepticism as this is just a story of seven school wonders written by four different writers. But Caramel Box is full of surprises. Can it redeem even this setting?
VN of the Month February 2007 - Utsurigi Nanakoi Tenkiame
Utsurigi Nanakoi Tenkiame can be called VN of the Month, but I'll decide whether it's a masterpiece or not in the review.
Moshimo Ashita ga Hare Naraba もしも明日が晴れならば [Palette]
Foreword: I see girls crying as disgusting, so I'm ill-suited for reviewing nakige - checking out different reviews might be a better idea (1 2 3 4 5 6). However, Dear My Friend by the same scenario writer and artist left a lasting impression on me, so I don't mind checking their new work that even contains fantasy elements. There are several heroines who don't cry all the time, anyway.
