Professor Layton and the Curious Village
I am always intrigued by DS games with non-mario-looking graphics, so when the 10-foot posters started going up for Professor Layton and the Curious Village, I was definitely intrigued.
Unfortunately, I then followed up the intrigue by checking out Nintendo.coms response to intrigued viewers.. where Nintendo failed miserably. For whatever reason, they decided to use a brain-age-like [...]
