Hey, chaps! Struggling to attract women? Why, you should get some practice in on your mobile phone! Because being able to seduce a virtual babe will guarantee you success in the real world, obviously.

Okay, so developer Artificial Life has wisely avoided any suggestions that playing its V-girl mobile game will turn real-life geeky frogs into sophisticated princes. But by splicing the virtual pet and dating genres with nifty 3D animations, the game is certainly striking.

It's been out for a while now in Asia, but Artificial Life has just signed a distribution deal with Jamster here in Europe, which means the game will be more widely available.

The basic idea is to meet up with a bunch of pixelly ladies, and go on virtual dates, which take the form of easy-to-play mini-games.

And in case you're thinking this is all a bit sexist, Jamster has also signed up Artificial Life's V-boyfriend game too, which does the same thing, except with a bunch of hunks in trunks. Well, we hope they're in trunks – hunks in jeans doesn't rhyme.
