Examiner closing down

I have been the Honolulu Video Game Examiner for a number of years now and this blog served as an overflow for content that couldn't be posted on Examiner or which didn't fit on Examiner - such as excess numbers of videos. But it seems that time is finally coming to a close as Examiner is shutting down on July 10. Examiners were only given 10 days worth of notice about this closure so it's a bit of a rush to figure out what to do now.

I am currently in the process of saving old walkthroughs and reviews. In the next few months I am currently planning to transfer everything here and give this blog a more fitting name since it will be a standalone thing. From there I will hopefully continue doing future video game reviews and walkthroughs here.

I am not certain I will have the same access to games, content or conventions that I did in the past, but I will do my best.

'Princess Trainer' by Akabur is now completed



Princess Trainer: Gold Edition” has finally been completed! After multiple years of development and a whole lot of different iterations which had different content, new content and removed content, "Princess Trainer" is finally done and no more updates are in the works. 

Akabur creates games and art for adults. The “Princess Trainer” game is NSFW. People should not download or play “Princess Trainer” if they are not 18+ or if it is illegal to view adult material in their location.

I can't do a full review here, because this game is adult content, but you can get a full "Princess Trainer" review here. A quest walkthrough is also complete. Some of the harder walkthroughs made it here because they contain no adult content so smut it up, ladies and gentlemen!

But the short review is that the game has definitely improved since its last release, giving more content for characters like Iris, Lola and Azalea, but it's also fallen apart in some places by increasing the grind needed to actually see the new content. Not exactly conducive to a smut game; people don't play an adult game to experience a story-interrupting grind, they play it to enjoy the story and art.

E3 2014: Shape Up from Ubisoft


"Shape Up" will be an Xbox One exclusive fitness game. It will be hitting store shelves in time for the holiday season. If you're curious what some of the goofy mini-games look like in action, here is the Piano Step game, which is one of the games that was demo'd at E3 2014.

"Silent Hill 2" Let's Play

This "Silent Hill 2" Let's Play is one of my favorites. I find the two cousins playing it to be pretty inoffensive, not cutting in too often just to try and be funny, while still making their presence known with some humor. And I'm posting it here just in time for Halloween, so have some fun, chill out and watch other people do something spooky.
