VGC writes: "Professor Layton and the Curious Village, released in the US in February 2008, won two game of the year awards from VGChartz for Best Adventure Game and Best Puzzle Game on the DS. The game required a year of localization, with a lot of text dialogue and language-specific puzzles that relied on puns and other attributes that don't translate well directly. While sales were slow initially, a renewed advertising campaign earlier this year has nearly doubled its sales in the US (up over 700k there now) and not coincidentally, Nintendo announced it would be publishing the sequel, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, in the US later this year - a year and a half after the release of the original and even longer after the Japanese release of the sequel."
With the latest Professor Layton game, The Miracle Mask, now available, SuperPhillip Central ranks the Professor Layton games from least greatest to greatest.

"Blue, sunny skies are perfect weather conditions for puzzle-solving, so contends Hershel Layton, main protagonist of the Professor Layton series of games. Citing the need for a clear mind and a level head, such advice leads me to question why we often categorize the solving of puzzles as a rainy day activity. Nevertheless, it is that very sort of ahead-of-the-game thinking that quickly bore within me a desire to connect with this well-mannered character type from his first adventure in Curious Village." -- Wiiloveit.com
I was looking forward to an insightful, or at the very least intelligent discussion of the Professor Layton series. I found neither.
This article is -profoundly- poorly written.
My guess is that it was either written by a high school student suffering under the mistaken delusion that he or she has some talent with writing... or, perhaps more likely, someone for whom English is a second, third or fourth language.
tl;dr don't waste you're time, folks.
