Playa playa!
While a hefty chunk of my youth was dedicated to videogames, I have kind of fallen out of the hobby over the last few years. Between the kid and photography, I just haven’t had the time or interest to play anything.
Two games have managed to draw me back into gaming though… and both are on the DS:
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
I loved the first Professor Layton game and this one is just more of a good thing. Basically, it is just a series of puzzles and brain teasers wrapped in a European mystery. It has great cutscenes and voice acting… just a really nicely presented story mixed with incredibly tricky puzzles to solve. Very fun and incredibly addictive.
Imagine a game where you can write any word and it instantly becomes an object that you can interact with in the virtual environment. At its heart, Scribblenauts is a puzzle game, but the fun really comes from seeing how different objects will interact with each other. Want to see a fight between God and Cthulhu? Yeah, you can do that. Really incredible stuff that is only limited by your imagination.
