I got Professor Layton and the Curious Village because I liked what useless_espers had to say about it; it sounded like it would be up my alley. It turned out to be pretty much everything I want in a DS game. (Which I guess means that point-and-click adventure games based on logic puzzles are everything I want in a DS game. That and cute animation.) Today's

I bought it too and I also love it! I hadn't even heard about it and I went into GameStop and saw a big poster for it ... and I was like, "I WANT THAT."

I first learned about it when I saw it in this week's Target ad (so, a week ago now, since I get the ad four days in advance) and dismissed it because Target's video game buyer kinda blows. But it turned out to be really good!

I saw that in Penny Arcade today, and I WANT IT SO BAD.

Dude! Do you love point-and-click adventure games based on logic puzzles the way I FIENDISHLY do? Because, um, I'm kind of a whore for them, and I can give you eight million recs, unless you've played all my recs, in which case I want to trade recs.

My first rec: The Submachine series of online Java games.
My second rec: Everything here.

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO EXCITING

I assure you, I have played none of your recs, because I didn't even know I loved adventure games until I realized that I loved an adventure game besides Phoenix Wright! I am going to start playing them right this very minute! Except actually I'm going to play more Professor Layton, because it's what I've been looking forward to doing all day. And THEN I'm going to start playing them.

Okay, so I'm some midway-portion through Professor Layton. So far, I've found three puzzles with mistakes. Have you found them too? I'd love to compare notes.

(1, a three-liars-and-a-truther one where the puzzle asks for the sausage-eater but the answer requires the truth-teller; 2, the number-of-tiles-to-make-a-square that has an alternate, better answer; and 3, an untangle-the-ropes one that I'm convinced is wrong.)

(And while I was typing this furiously, I re-read the puzzle I was stuck on now and realized that the wording of the puzzle is just misleading, not full-out incorrect.)

Well, when I answer C (the sausage-eater; D is the truth-teller), I get it right. So I don't know about that one
