I didn't include TCI cause I heard some of the CG's were slightly out of date. And you can DL pirited B-games. I know that sounds bad but I can't repair past mistakes. But from now on I acually am going to buy games legally so I've set aside a gaming budget.
*nods*
Neither can the rest of us repair past mistakes (well, aside from buying the collections). Most of us here got our start in the industry the same way you did (and even mostly with the same game, Season of the Sakura). We've all gone legit, and a large part of that is that we found out how fragile the industry is over here, and we want to support it.
As for the CG, Tokimeki Checkin! has better looking CG than any of the 4 games you listed.

And about Kana it just seems $50 is a little high for me for that game. Come on it's been out like 2-3 years right? And the CG's I've seen don't really impress me much. But I might reconsider cause I heard the story is good but really sad :(
It basically works like this. Kana is widely regarded as one of the best storylines in English. More than that; it is widely regarded as being leaps and bounds above most of the rest of the titles translated to English. And your highest rated title was Seasons of the Sakura, a title without a lot of sex and with fairly dated CG.
It is also true that "titles with lots of sex" consistently outsell "titles with lots of story". If no one buys games with lots of story, then they won't get translated anymore.
In short - come; join us. You'll like it, it's fun! Don't worry, this won't hurt me a bit ;)

That's ... an interesting combination of two true facts to produce something that's not true.
The short answer is "no". The long answer is, J-list had to censor the pictures on their website (but not the actual products) because their credit card company got silly. The other grain of truth is that these games are all censored in Japan, because Japanese law requires it, but when the games are brought to the US they are uncensored.
