DHGF: James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes is not only a good game, but it’s one of the best exclusives for the Nintendo 3DS this year. With over 140 puzzles to encounter, the ability to pick and choose what puzzles you do in story mode and the chance to unlock extra optional puzzles for fun make this game a lot of fun. Throw in some very stylized visuals, some sub-par FMV that adds to the 60s-esque charm and a fun little story involves a game show AND a serial killer and you have something that is sure to delight fans of everything from Gabriel Knight style adventure games to people who want a better (and more mature) version of Level 5′s Professor Layton games. Hollywood Crimes deserves to be a sleeper hit, but it’s up to gamers to take a chance on something that isn’t a sequel for once to make that happen.
Great news for those of you who just got a shiny new 3DSXL and are looking to expand your 3DS library. Several 3DS games have gotten price reductions/clearanced out at Best Buy and for those of you who can get to your local store to search for the titles this evening you can still take advantage of the B2G1 sales on all 3DS games. These games were all marked at a local store, did not appear to be a manager special and required no override at the register when purchasing them. That said, as is often the case for price drops like these, prices may vary depending based on different stores. These prices will likely be IN STORE ONLY.
Pocket Gamer: If you want to point the finger of accusation anywhere, we suggest you point it at Level-5's Professor Layton series on DS.
Ubisoft has today announced that James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes is now available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. In the videogame, players will go deep into with more than one hundred and forty intriguing puzzles and riddles to solve a series of murders.
