Let's face it: Sex sells. It doesn't matter much as to what exactly is doing the selling. In the case of Dead or Alive Paradise, what sells is dozen bikini-clad DoA vixens as they vacation on New Zach Island, a fictional tropical beach resort.
The basic concept of DoAP is simple: take on the role of one of the DoA girls and play a minigame-driven semi-date sim with the ultimate goal of wooing one (or more) of the other girls to allow you to take private photos of them. It's a concept that will make pre-pubescent boys squirm while at the same time making full-grown men feel like dirty creeps. Good thing DoAP isn't a very good game.

The obvious games featuring bikinis, shirtless hulking men and interactive sex scenes are just the tip of the iceberg; underneath it is a host of games where sexuality is a metaphoric theme or artistic construct.
Below are ten games that I think are especially effective in how they make use of sexual themes. Some are obvious, others are more academic in their application of such themes"

The standard platforms for game design are either PCs or home consoles, both of which normally exist within private, stable, and controlled conditions. Thus, given the design of home games, the environment in which they’re played is not given much thought. Portable games on the other hand are interesting, since they can be played in a multitude of places, all of which can have an effect on gameplay and design. How does one effectively design for a portable game? How can we make them better? What are the main principles behind portable games? Well, let’s take a look.
Very true it's an oft understated aspect of portable game development.
Metal gear solid peace walker managed that transition very well. Which is a good way to contrast the two ways of developing within the same genre.
