The Girls is a game based on the hit Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls and the sequel The Cheetah Girls 2. In the GBA game, the player controls the band and their destiny to compete in the New Voices Competition in Barcelona, Spain. To do this, you play as each Cheetah Girl to find an agent, Mix and match clothes to make your own outfits, choreograph new dance moves, design and create your own music for demo tracks and much more. A sequel, The Cheetah Girls: Pop Star Sensations, was released for Nintendo DS.

The representation of women in bishōjo games varies, but two generalizations can be made. First, most of the girls are portrayed as bishōjo, meaning beautiful, attractive or cute (according to the definition of beauty as seen by the designers and fans of the video games). Therefore, it is rare to find, for example, an obese or unattractive character in this type of game. Secondly, the majority of the characters are feminine (according to prevalent tendencies in Japan): in the cases where a girl shows a “boyish” appearance, she mostly can be found to be sensitive or feminine under a pseudomasculine façade.

Two particularly common settings exist: Japanese secondary schools and medieval-atmosphered, pseudo-European fantasy lands. In secondary education settings, characters wear idealized Japanese school uniforms; whereas fantasy setting outfits range from witch robes to princess dresses, and Fantastic creatures like fairies and catgirls may be found as well. When the game takes place in some other setting, it tends to explore other fashion possibilities, for example, the game Pia Carrot is located in a restaurant, in which the girls wear elaborate waitress uniforms.

The female character frequently act in an endearingly childlike fashion, which is described by the Japanese slang term moe  a characteristic that is often looked-for in bishōjo characters. The reasons for this characteristic are not always merely sexual: sometimes it is used to present a pretty and affectionate character who is beloved and supported by the player. In fact, “little sisters” are a recurring fixture of bishōjo games. A very popular game that emphasizes the characteristic of moe is Sister Princess, based on the premise of the player acquiring no less than 12 little sisters.

The majority of bishōjo games involve anime girls and not pictures of real-life girls. Several reasons for this exist. First, the artistic style of anime allows a noticeable sense of femininity and a great sense of fantasy, something that is not obtained with images of real women. Second, since many characters in bishōjo games are minors (or at least have the behavior and physical proportions of minors), the use of the anime style allows the studios of bishōjo games with adult content to avoid the penalty of Japanese child pornography laws, which do not prohibit the simulated representation of characters under 18 years of age. Even so, it is common to find the packages of these games affirming that, theoretically, all the characters are over 18 years old. More circumstantial reasons also exist: for example, anime girls showed better on computer screens in the beginning of the video game industry, when colors were more limited.

Love Games will feature three former “bad girls” from The Bad Girls Club Amber Meade and Sarah Michaels, both of season three, and Kendra James of season four. The show will revolve around the girls trying to find the right man out of 13 bachelors. Each week will feature challenges for the bachelors and group dates. Bret Ernst will host the eight one-hour episode season.[3] It is scheduled to premiere after the The Bad Girls Club season four two-part reunion special on March 16 and March 23,  ET/PT, and then move to its regular timeslot on March 30. ET/PT, until the season finale on May 4, 2010.

Amy Introcaso-Davis, Senior Vice President of Oxygen, stated “Over the successful run of the Bad Girls Club series, the show’s die-hard fan base has demonstrated an insatiable interest in the dating lives of these flirty and outrageously energetic girls. Love Games gives our avid viewers the opportunity to watch their favorite “Bad Girls” find love in a fun and wildly entertaining way.”

The main male character in bishōjo games is often rendered as someone the player can identify with, thus experiencing the story as he would live an episode of his own life. Often the game is viewed in a first person view of the main character. Since bishōjo games focus on female characters and the player’s interaction with them, male characters often receive less time on-screen and the character that represents the player rarely appears; when this happens, his face is usually hidden outside the screen or otherwise. Sometimes the only male appearance in sex scenes is reduced to a penis entering from the side of the screen, with no other visible parts. This is often customizable.
