Don't you know the comic strips?

Let's raise the temperature!

Sweet!

 

[Vague Rant]

Love is... is awful, bland, commercial, crass, empty, inane crap. And ... I just described it using adjectives in alphabetical order? What the fuck?

 

[Kuschel-Drow]

Well it's quite famous over here in Germany, and it hasn't anything to do with PORN... *lol*
But even if it's lovely I don't really think that it's worth a game.
It totally blows tradition too...

Kuschel-Drow is right, here many people know this odd couple. Similar to the Dutchies, a German "newspaper" (called 'Bild', same trash as The Sun etc) publishes (or at least used to) those pics (ain't full strips) everyday. Nice license, as it is unexpected, but the ZOO logo makes me cry me before even tryin' it...

Back in the 70's my mom would clip some of those strips to give to my dad (mom was a bit mushy back then) from the newspaper. Nearly 40 years later there's a game around it? Weird.

 

[GeekyGuy]

Well, the gameplay isn't terrible, but the game itself is terribly derivative. The characters are cute, until you see them in 3D, but it's a game for the sake of being a game.

Pick flowers, mow grass, and buy stuff for your naked companion. Meh...

"You know what you two need? A little comic strip called "Love is." It's about two naked 8-year olds who are married." - Homer Simpson

It's very ironic that, yesterday, I had never heard of these comics, then the next day, the quoted Simpson's episode was on TV.
Maybe FOX is checking these boards

Anyways... I asked my mom about Love is... and she said she used to read them all the time when she was a kid.

Wow.. This looks... Weirdly Odd..

I found a book by the same title on http://www.amazon.com/Love-bloom/dp/0810949229"" target="_blank">Amazon.
Here's the Synopsis:
"The story behind these delightful cartoons is as charming as the drawings themselves. In the 1960s a shy artist named Kim Casali found she could best express her feelings to the man who would eventually become her husband through her charming drawings, which he would find every day in the most unlikely places. Roberto not only treasured and saved them all, he recognized their universal message of hope and love. He shared the first with Los Angeles Times readers in 1970 and today these heartfelt drawings are treasured by over 100 million people in 50 countries. This third collection presents 365 new drawings —now retro, impactful, and delightfully witty. Do you remember when we believed love could save the world? Maybe not so farfetched an idea today!"

It's weird... did her son produce this videogame?

"Since the death of Kim Casali in June 1997, her son Stefano has maintained his mother’s legacy of the beloved comic panel with artist Bill Asprey, who continues to draw the charming little cartoons."

This is such a heartfelt story. I want to try this game... I feel like weeping.
