Majikoi S is probably one of the best sequel/fandiscs ever, presenting you with a massive new plotline, a bunch of new heroines (with full paths) and a girl from the previous game that was moderately interesting becoming a heroine as well.  It also leads into the A games that came later, a lot of them coming off the Kuki path (making them fairly awesome as a whole).

Bunny Black 2 was the last good Bunny Black game... for the values of good that apply to the series.  3 was unbelievably tedious even in comparison to 1, but 2 is actually decent, if you've played the first game, anyway.

Gaku Ou is LoS's attempt to make a weird science fantasy charage.  It comes across more than a little incoherent at times, but it is enjoyable nonetheless.  I don't consider this to be among the abominable games that LoS produces with such regularity.

Not too much releases at this month I see, with the well known one are either fandisc or sequel.

Dousei Loverable - Rather than sequel I would say that fandisc is more appropriate when it come to the status here. Like any fandisc, obviously it was for the fans to spent more time with their chosen heroine. Other than that, the main VN is still not fully translated as of now and it's longer than Fureraba fandisc (Which to be fair was called as mini fandisc so it's logical to be short).

Sutadoru - Well the outfit are surely looking good on the heroines, and that it's quite obvious that it'll be a nukige from the opening alone. Other than that, it has some strategy gameplay and that the sex scenes might be more hardcore than it looks.

Majikoi S - Well it should be good for Majikoi fans in that they can see more of five Majikoi heroines and that Minato-soft did add five more heroines in here, so we have ten heroines. Although in the end, I still say that it's fandisc anyway and to me fandisc here is just the addition to the main game in which it's just additional contents. This is not like Grisaia in which I did say that I treat both of Meikyuu and Rakuen as fandisc, but rather this is based on Minato-soft confession in that at first they develop this as fandisc only to decided to upped the status to sequel, so yes I did treat it as fandisc based on the initial development. In any case, at least it got some nice story along with many new heroines that surely would appeal Majikoi's fans. For more trivia back when Majikoi (The main VN) was still stuck at 'Miyako 85% translated' the progress for S here is going steady so much that people did hope to have it released, only to be delayed for a while in favor of finishing the original. Oh well, at least now we have both of this and main VN to be translated.

Bunny Black 2 - Since I did say that I treat S as fandisc, I understand if people did treat this as fandisc as well because technically Bunny Black ending was quite satisfying. That said Softhouse Chara here did improve the control in which now you can control some of your party members unlike the first one in which you can't even control the other party members, but of course in order to directly control the other party members there's some requirement. That said even with direct control the early game here is still quite hard if you didn't know what you should do, and it would be still challenging even if you know what you should do. The reduced party member here didn't help at all (You can bring nine party members while in here you can only bring six party members), but at least Darx here still can carry the party by himself to a degree. By the way it's also translated as well, and of course Aroduc is the one who did the translation.

That's all for what I can comment in regard of January 2012 here.
