I wouldn't really mind if it was Photoshop, this doesn't take anything away from the cool pictures. Really nicely done.

Ideally, yes, but we know that this is not how the world -at least the corporate world- works.

Same here. I was gonna ask where did they find this Christopher Reeves' look-alike

Apple has always said that they were making the kind of products they wanted to use themselves, and since most of the management at Apple are (were) not into gaming... This is probably changing with iOS.

Maybe it's not sexually appealing to straight males, but who's to say girls or gay dudes wouldn't find them attractive?

What you describe is the male power fantasy, which has almost nothing to do with what a sexualized male character would look like. Here's an image of what such a character would be like (if you're a straight guy you'll want to wash your eyes with bleach afterwards; I know I did).

This is what an oversexualized male character would look like:

God, I miss the days of clear-cut comparisons between SNES, Genesis and Amiga.

Also she's wearing a Chinese dress.

Ada Wong has been an American woman of Chinese descent since the first game, what do you mean it's not her name?

It also takes $270/month more, for crappier service.

Funny thing is that I've never seen anyone slap a Windows sticker on their Mac.

And a few more (JP title > US title)

This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise as Beat Takeshi also hates computers, email, and video games. Oh, and Twitter.

It would surely give a heart attack to most people.

In Japan you can buy adult games at retail or through Amazon. I think that some are even available digitally. The thing is that super creepy stuff like Monster Monpiece are completely OK on consoles, but accidentally running over civilians in a sandbox game like Just Cause 2 is not, even with the highest CERO rating…

On iOS, a lot.

Self-published/self-distributed PC games are not regulated. However, PC games (which are sold at retail or via Steam/Windows Store/Origin, etc.) in general are.

I don't think Bethesda Softworks (the game that owns and publishes the game regardless of where it is "physically" made) is a Japanese company.

It's not so much self-publishing but publishing on a "closed" platform like game consoles and digital platforms (Steam, iTunes, Google Play, Origin, etc.). The vast majority of platform holders won't allow games over a certain rating.
