Professor Layton returns to us in this fabulous continuation of his puzzle solving and crime busting adventures. And he certainly doesn’t disappoint, with a mysterious murder, a stolen box, and a town shrouded in mystery.
Love, redemption and curiosity fulfilled await us at the end of the journey and it is well worth the effort.
My warlocks run of fabulous mounts continues.
The Magnificent Flying Carpet!
As soon as her tailoring skill was high enough, I had to make this. Its far too awesome too pass up. Although there have been quite a few Aladdin jokes.
The description makes me chuckle every time. “This is a very fast rug.” Cute!

TFG
I’m sure everyone under the sun (or should I say hiding from the sun) has seen this already, but I just couldn’t refrain from posting it. Simply because its AWESOME!
It turned out to be an add campaign for season three of The Guild. As far as advertisement goes, I found this music video to be not only effective but also extremely enjoyable. =)
(Its not that often that I actually enjoy an advertising campaign. In general I find most advertisements to be more of an unwelcome intrusion.)
Besides Felicia Day wrote the lyrics (and sings) and they are hilarious, especially if you have ever played on an MMO.
Star Wars and Indiana Jones are integral parts of my childhood and have helped mold me into the person I am today. Despite the strong early years attachment I have to them, they managed to maintain those awe filled memories with sappy nostalgia instead of shattering them into bitter shards of disbelief. (Must be magic!)
Delving into such a precious license can be daunting, as there is a lot of emotional history attached to it.
Lego Indiana Jones masterfully manages to honor the movies and bring some freshness to the story without squashing any nostalgic memory I have.
One of the main reasons that I started with the Lego Star Wars review was to use it as a baseline. Fundamentally, Lego Batman is the same game. Why rehash all their similarities then?
I love getting games as presents and when said game turns out to be a) one I don’t own and 2) one I really like, it’s a near miracle. Turns out, Culdcept Saga is such a miracle.
The fabulous friend, who gifted us this excellent experience, knew that waiting would just not do. So he presented it at the first available opportunity. It was just some random day, but I have since dubbed it “Culdcept is Awesome!” Day. (And like most holidays/birthdays/anniversaries I never remember the actual date!!)
This thing is, even though the game arrived with such fan fare I didn’t believe it was going to be that great (because, really, how often does it happen that a fabulous game gets shoved in your face?), so it just sat around for a while (sad and lonely).
After the third call from my friend asking how I thought the game was, I finally popped it into the xBox and started playing. I devoured it whole.
To talk about Animal Crossing: City Folk is to talk about the previous version of the game. All of its incarnations so far have pretty much been the same. Therefore I am going to take this golden opportunity to discuss all three versions. Three reviews in one!
What type of game would a world famous director make? The answer has now been revealed; digital Jenga, aka BoomBlox.
That’s right; Steven Spielberg broke barriers and slummed it with the computer game development geeks to make a game. It’s not clear how involved he really was. He is credited as being Creative Director (which could mean anything, participation wise). Most likely he contributed to high concept designs, played monthly builds, and gave feedback then.
Regardless of all that Mr. Spielberg joined the elite group of game developers that have their name over the title, and I’m sure that in his case it helped sell quite a few units. All those clueless soccer moms shopping for Christmas presents migrate to the one name that’s familiar to them.
My first review of 2009 and it ends up being rather contrary to popular opinion. The subject: my biggest disappointment of 2008, LittleBigPlanet.
Outrageous! How is this even possible, here in this haven for cute, side scrolling, jumpers? That this darling game, this honored above all, innovative, creative game could be called out in such a manner is…inconceivable!
Shocking, I know. Frankly I was surprised by my dislike of the game. But no amount of cute graphics could make up for its fatal flaws in game mechanics.
The big sell on this new Wii version is the ability to go visit other towns. For the longest time we couldn’t seem to connect to anyone, nor could anyone visit us.
I like to blame it on not having any friends, but really I don’t know why we suddenly can connect.
Here are some suggestions we got from reading the forums over at Nintendo Techforums. These are listed in no particular order and are intended to help with the not being able to see or enter your friends towns or vice versa.
-Turn off all other computers that might interfere with the internet connection in anyway.
-Restart your modem.
-Turn off privacey mode on modem, if there is such a setting.
-Test the internet connection on the Wii. The initiated the latest Wii update for us.
-Turn around three times and tap your head counter clockwise. (Okay I just made that up!)
Its hard to tell if it was just luck but we did do all of those things and it worked today. Yaay.
But we still need more friends, so here is my info. Add me as a friend and email me (tfg@tokenfemalegamer.com) or comment with your info and then let the visiting begin! =)
