  • Abstract:  Lets say you came into the ownership of a certain box that, when opened, kills anyone who looks inside. How long would you be able to hold onto it before opening that bad boy up? For one of Professor Laytons colleagues, the answer is simple: not long...

  Published: 2008-11-03, review by: absolutegadget.com

  • Abstract:  Layton appears, at first glance, to be an old-fashioned point-and-clicker. But it deceives... It’s really one of those books of brainteasers you get at train stations, dollied up with nice graphics and various bits to fiddle with. The whole aesthetic ...

  • Abstract:  I haff tvelve metchsteek. Professor Layton really needs to get a different hobby. He gets entirely too much pleasure out of solving brain-numbing puzzles. You can only imagine Layton’s glee when, upon arriving in the curious village of St. Mystere to ...

  • Abstract:  Professor Layton is a bit on the deceptive side. A glance at the box and you see a cartoon game but beneath that cute cartoon veneer is a deep solid adventure game with a large collection of Mensa level puzzles. It sounds like a bit of an odd mash-up b...

  Published: 2008-02-15, review by: destructoid.com

  • Abstract:  I thought the holiday season was supposed to be the most murderous, time-sucking part of the year, but I was wrong. What was once a traditionally lazy span of months before the spring blitz has, in 2008, become a thing of nightmares, with great games ...
