Dr Reiner Knizia goes Nintendo

Just spotted this today and I am going to have to give it a look. I am sure that the maker of such classic games such as Lost Cites, Tigris, Battleline and others has done a great job on the DS.

Stay tuned to see what I think of it.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village

The DS has always been a favorite of mine for its puzzle games and this one is just fantastic. Professor Layton and the Curious Village is a great puzzle game. Its an adventure puzzle game where you play Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke who are trying to discover the location of a lost golden apple which is somewhere in the curious village.
It's basically a stream of puzzles that need to be solved and not since the days of Perplexcity have i been so into my puzzles. They vary from easy to difficult and as you solve them the mystery expands.

The style is a french / anime mix that works really well although the "Cor Blimey Guv" cockney accents bring a smile. It looks good and plays easily i'm hooked.
