Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Website:
http://professorlaytonds.com/
Release Europe):
November 7th 2008

Finally, this fabalous game by Level-5 is being released in Europe. The game has been released February 15, 2007 in Japan and February 10, 2008 in US. Therefore, we European gamers must’ve imported this game to enjoy the massive fun that is packed into this game.

Actually, the Professor Layton series contains 3 games (first one was only released in Japan, and the third is yet to be released), and there is also some rumours about an upcoming movie.

Professor Layton is an English gentleman, and he and his apprentice and assistant Luke is being invited to a village called St. Mystere by Late Dahlia, widow of the late Baron Reinhold. Their mission is to solve the mystery of the Golden Apple. The Baron stated in his testament that the one who can find the Golden Apple, would inherit everthing he possessed. The problem is that no one in the village know about the Golden Apple, and what it is.

Now you have to navigate Layton and Luke through the village, solve puzzles, find hidden paths, and solve the mysteries you meet on your adventure. And never did I believe that it would be this thrilling and fun to solve good old puzzles. There are about 130 puzzles around in the game, and you will unlock more as bonuses throughout the game, and you can download new puzzles through WI-FI.

All in all this is one of the best games I’ve played on the DS till now, and probably one of the best adventure/puzzle game I have ever played. The story and cinematics of this game will give you goosebumps! A must buy!

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Release (Europe):
October 19th 2007
 
If I'm not completely wrong, this is the 14th game in the Zelda series. It was also the reason why I wanted the handheld Nintendo DS in the first place. Being a fan of the Zelda-series, I waited eagerly for this release. With both Wii and DS being two innovative consoles, I was excited about how they included the game-control features into the gameplay. It for example uses the stylus and touchscreen for moving Link around. The microphone is also used for some events, including blowing out candles, and at a point in the game you even have to yell into it to awaken someone sleeping. A fun scenario if you are playing the game in a crowded area. The features are also being exploit by for example closing the DS unit to make an imprint of a map. Completely genious!
 
Sailing in Phantom HourglassThe plot of this game is set after The Wind Waker, and you need to save your best friend Tetra. To save her, you will need to forge the Phantom Sword and defeat Bellum. He gets some help from Captain Linebeck on the journey. You may say that the game is divided into two parts; the standard Zelda gameplay with dungeons and adventuring, but also a new and well-fited addition. I'm talking about the sailing part. Here you control your own boat (which you may customize with parts throughout the game). You will meet various dangerous monsters out on the sea during the game, so you will need to build a stronger boat. You control your boat by drawing it's route on the map on the touchscreen.
 
I could go on and on with features in this game, but all reviews has their conclusions. And mine is that this is one of the best games I have ever finished. I remember the older Zelda games, and that they astonished me, and I can only envy Nintendo by still keeping the essence of Zelda the same, even after all these years. Simply amazingly adventurous!
