Former GameSpot editor-in-chief Jeff Gerstmann reviews Professor Layton and the Curious Village on his new gaming site, Giant Bomb.
"Professor Layton and the Curious Village is an outstanding mix of charm and logic that's likely to make a pretty deep impression on you."
Phil writes, "Today is National Puzzle Day, and it's a day for celebration of all things that twist, melt, bust, or otherwise perplex your brain puzzle-wise. It seems like a fantastic day to bring back an old favorite article series that hasn't seen much action recently. It's "How Was I Supposed to Know THAT!?", where we take a look at those frustratingly obtuse parts of games, whether for progression purposes or just plain ol' devious puzzles that one would have to be an absolute genius of a specialized field to solve. These following five games each have a particularly perplexing part or puzzle in them that possess some kind of masterful amount of outside information or knowledge to get past or solve them."
Never been a fan of the kind of game design where you need a guide to be able to do it, some might say it's quirky but I think it's dumb.
That's why The Witness is so good, the puzzles are often confusing and very difficult but there's always a logical solution if you think about it enough.
It's actually easier for FF IX now, contrary to what the article says. The speed increase makes the game plays at x3 the speed, but it doesn't actually make the timer go faster, so it makes getting there in 12 hours a lot easier.
sure sure, but it was neeear impossible to actually get the EC2 in-time on the ps1. especially if you had the European version.
Here at God is a Geek, we've rounded up 6 DS and 3DS games that we want to see on Switch.
If Nintendo rolled out VC two years ago like they should have, there would probably be DS and 3DS games on the Switch by now. But yeah, I think DS and 3DS are something they should do.
Level-5 is known for many beloved games like Fantasy Life, the Professor Layton series and the newest addition The Snack World. Level-5 latest game has only been released in Japan, but according to the website that handles the localization of the game, tells us it will finally come to the west.
Level-5 are amazing. Can't wait for Dragon Quest IX and White Knight Chronicles.
This game is keeping me going.
This game was pretty fun, like a book of puzzles, except with a reason for you to keep going. Although you have to have a brain to appreciate it.
Those Rescue the Princess ones are damn irritating
I still think Gerstman should change the name of Giant Bomb to something more game related.
i love Level-5. they are a great dev and sony should try to secure there games as exclusives because they are awesome. White Knight Chronicles will be crazy.
i wish there could be a Jeanne D'arc sequel but it wouldn't make sense relating to history.. but then again.. (no spoilers)
