  • Memo function is not always helpful.
  • If you’re a Layton fan, you don’t need me to tell you to get this game. You’re already knee-deep in puzzles that you don’t know what to do with yourself. The Professor Layton name is one of the most consistent franchises on the DS market right now; eac...

  • Abstract:  It isn't often that danger, logic and impeccable breeding find a reason to come together. That's really too bad, considering some of our coolest heroes (say, James Bond and Sherlock Holmes) are also our most distinguished gentlemen. In 2008, Profess...

  • Abstract:  With each succesive game, Professor Layton's adventures continue to grow more bizarre. And nothing illustrates that better than his latest outing, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. This time traveling tale takes you on a tour of a future London,...
