While the games aren’t the greatest out there, both Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad and Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Slayers have some pretty sexy lead characters (well, provided you have a fetish for schoolgirl outfits, bloody lingerie, cowboy gear, leather and bikinis among other things). Along with the polygonal eye candy, you also get some pretty damned ugly monsters to balance things out. Here’s a few cool character renders from both games courtesy of the game’s press kit CD.

Most horror-themed video games are extremely subjective in that each person who plays them will generally have a different overall experience. Those that frighten easily will baby-step through their play sessions, saving frequently, checking maps and trying their very best not to to die horribly. The more fearless, bolder gamers accustomed to faster-paced play will blaze forward, taking on all comers in a quest for kill counts while often blissfully unaware of the developer’s intentions in attempting to set a particular mood. This type of player generally never flinches unless the game adds in “jump” scares like those found in hundreds of horror movies or live haunted house experiences in some amusement parks. A third type of gamer takes the middle road, going into every game “cold” in order to fully appreciate every nuance as they let themselves become completely immersed in the game world.
