GAME VIRTUAL GIRLFRIEND PLUS

For 3 day, you can hire a boyfriend or girlfriend to talk on the phone or chat online. The object is to form and nurture a relationship with one of three high school girls with rotating outfits, distinct musical tastes, and clearly permissive parents. Taobao, Chinas version of Amazon, advertises 'virtual girlfriends'.

GAME VIRTUAL GIRLFRIEND PLUS

It was geared toward players of Love Plus Plus, a sequel to Love Plus released this year. Sadly for romantics everywhere, Atami's summer of virtual love ends Tuesday. Love Plus Plus players pick one of three, um, high school girls to woo with gifts, and yes, vacations. After all, at $84, a return fare from Tokyo to Atami on the Shinkansen bullet train ain't cheap (fortunately virtual girlfriends travel free).

Players of the game know that to keep their virtual gals happy, they'd best spend quality time with them, throw them birthday parties, take them on dates, and yes, shell out yen for beach getaways. Girlfriends, that is, who only exist on-screen.ДЄnd yes, there are such men, particularly those enthralled with Konami's Love Plus, a popular dating sim for Nintendo DS that also comes as an augmented-reality application for iPhones. This summer, the beach town became a vacation hub for guys who like to treat their girlfriends to sun-and-fun holidays. If you visited the Japanese hot springs resort of Atami recently and spotted a disproportionate number of men gazing longingly at their smartphones, it probably wasn't because they were playing Angry Birds.
