Professor Layton is coming to town!

So, the ever-so-desired Professor Layton series will now hit America. Took them awhile, now, off to see what the hype is all about.

Developer: Level-5
Publisher: Nintendo
Platform: Nintendo DS
Genre: Adventure/Puzzle Game

The game is pretty much a collection of puzzles with adventure exploration between mini-games. There are a myriad of brain teasers and the player must solve a certain number in order to progress past some points in the game.

A hint-like system is also included so, you can get hat extra help when you need it. Although, to use it, it requires the use of "hint coins," that are hidden in the throughout the game and are in limited quantity... So, you better make sure you save them up and only use them when you need them most.


Oh, yeah, it's also Wifi capability as well. Wonder what? Well, if you're a puzzle whiz and looking for more on your plate, you can go online and download new puzzles to solve. Boy, they sure give your mind a good work out.



The game is set release in Mid-February in the US, and the sequel, Professor Layton and the Devil's Box has been released in Japan as of late. Also, the third game is in the making so you can expect much more coming our way.

Oh, FYI, there is a playable demo available on their official site. So, check it out!

Transform your PSP Slim into your beloved PS2 controller

While I was off doing my daily spree of gaming news, I came across this new contraption from Vis-A-Vis.

Looks like the company has designed a little something for those PS2 gamers who miss their PS2 controller. It's built for PSP, PSP Slims, and even the PSP Original.

Recently released in an article in Famitsu, the "Flexible Hand Grip Pad Advance for PSP" is available now for your aching hands needs.

This comfortable addition is roughly 980 Yen ($9.20) and can take away all those times you would drop your PSP because the damn analog button was too low. Not too bad for a price I'd say...

But, another issue comes up about the whole "Portable" part. This thing is bulky as hell. I am curious as to how this will fit in your pocket. And what's the point of it when you buy a PSP Slim to have it slim, not big? Comfort vs. Looks? I guess it's all up to the person to decide.
