Professor Layton And The Curious Village

Professor Layton And The Curious Village

Format: DS Lite

What it’s about? Professor Layton, who’s really more of a Sherlock Holmes-wannabe, and his assistant have been invited to investigate the death of a wealthy man. And it’s up to their sleuthing ways to decipher the will and find the missing treasure…

What’s good about it? For a handheld console, the old-school Tin Tin-like graphics are amazing. And the puzzles aren’t as easy as you first think…

What’s bad about it? You really need to concentrate to get all the controls down, so it’s not a great idea to play this when you’re in bed or half asleep.

Verdict: A fun mind game that’ll keep you thinking. But if you’re looking for simple arcade-style gaming, this ain’t it…
