It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

  • Review: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (Mobile/3DS)

    Riddle me this.
    The last Professor Layton game I played was, I believe, the very first one to ever come out for the Nintendo DS. It was Professor Layton and the Curious Village and it came out back in 2007.

What I can say with certainty here is that Professor Layton and the Curious Village seemed to offer a splendid blend of new ideas, lovable...
