Many games in this generation are borrowing elements from different types of games, creating some unique experiences. Trials HD, Scribblenauts, and Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure were just a few games that transcended simple genre definitions this year, with all of them fitting into both platforming and puzzler categories. They were also, of course, all fantastic games. Gyromancer was another simply fun, yet ridiculously addictive hit for PopCap. Though it seems at first like a Bejeweled Twist clone with RPG elements akin to Puzzle Quest… well, actually, that was pretty much all it was, but PopCap proved again that you don't need much more to keep coming back. Still, none of these great games held a candle to the Best Ever Puzzle Game of 2009."
With the latest Professor Layton game, The Miracle Mask, now available, SuperPhillip Central ranks the Professor Layton games from least greatest to greatest.
With Professor Layton's 3D debut literally just around the corner, we take a look at just why we love this more recent Nintendo classic, born on the Nintendo DS.
"Blue, sunny skies are perfect weather conditions for puzzle-solving, so contends Hershel Layton, main protagonist of the Professor Layton series of games. Citing the need for a clear mind and a level head, such advice leads me to question why we often categorize the solving of puzzles as a rainy day activity. Nevertheless, it is that very sort of ahead-of-the-game thinking that quickly bore within me a desire to connect with this well-mannered character type from his first adventure in Curious Village." -- Wiiloveit.com
I was looking forward to an insightful, or at the very least intelligent discussion of the Professor Layton series. I found neither.
This article is -profoundly- poorly written.
My guess is that it was either written by a high school student suffering under the mistaken delusion that he or she has some talent with writing... or, perhaps more likely, someone for whom English is a second, third or fourth language.
tl;dr don't waste you're time, folks.
Beep!
What's the reason I want a DS?
...and your mother's a whore Trebek!!
My little brother has got this game on his DS and I still haven't played it.
I've heard there are three Professor Layton games though I only know of The Curious Village and Pandora's Box. What's the other one?
