Hahahaha, I love Professor Layton! Curious Village had a pretty good twist ending too that I didn't predict. Diabolical Box had a surprise ending too but it just didn't come off as clever as Curious Village, as awesome as the scene where Layon sword fights with a vampire was.

Thats not the twist ending! You figure out you're going to confront a vampire like halfway through the game.

The twist ending is when Layton figures out Rosebud was his sled.

What a twist!

Red Dead Redemption for PS3

I finished the main storyline. Booyah!

Unfortunately, I only have 20% of the trophies completed and do not intend on obtaining them all.

Red dead redemption is kick ass... my boyfriend got 100% with all the trophies.

All I've been playing as of late is call of duty with friends.

It is. But after you finish the main storyline and sidequests, there really is no point to playing, plus the multiplayer sucks.

Now that I've finished Professor Layton and the Curious Village, the vampire comment seems funnier than it did at the time.

I solved every last puzzle in the bloody thing. Then it offers an option to download a new puzzle every week through the wifi internet connection. No thanks, I'm done.

Not buying the sequel either. I'm puzzled out. It was good, but once was enough.

I'm playing Tomb Raider: Legend now on the DS.

I also rounded up 3 more Nintendo DS units to take on my trip this coming week, so I'm looking forward to playing 4 player Bomberman Land Touch, Mario Kart, Mech Assualt - Phantom War, Mario Party, Starfox Command, Worms - Open Warfare 2, Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare, Metroid Prime Hunters, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and more with my relatives at the beach!

You should eventually get it, it is awesome and the puzzles are far more varied. I liked the story of The Curious Village better though, I really liked the twist at the end.

Well, I've various games I like from Florensia to Zork (which I finished with husband a couple years ago). Favorite hands down is World of Warcraft... I use comp games to play out scenarios and to inspire ideas for writing, and it does work pretty well for that (lol that being said I'm considered an altoholic there by those who know me because I have 3 of each class in order to try out all possibilities for stuff... 4 kinds of druids though because technically there are 4 for them). So I've every kind of person there from my psychotic warlock engineer who loves to blow enemies up with dynamite, to a lovable gnome rogue who likes exploring! I think currently I belong to 3 guilds. Yeah I'm there a lot.

Right now I am working on zOMG if that counts.
Before that I played the Sly Cooper games because they were supposed to be good.
Before those three, I played the Spyro games from the PS1 since I used to love those games. They are a lot easier now then I remember...

I'm currently playing The World Ends With You nonstop and searching/waiting for good DS games so I don't have to regret the money spent. :P

I've been wanting to play The World Ends With You. If you're looking for good priced games Hotel Dusk is pretty cheap, I got it fourteen dollars used and I think its only twenty dollars for a new copy, and its one of my favourite games.

I'm kinda bouncing around between Dragon Age, Mass Effect (first one) and Soul Calibur IV (but I have more fun with the character creator than the actual game, hehe). I had a 360 for a while but didn't think it was such great shakes until I got an HD TV. Now I'm obsessed.

I'm also kinda itching to dig out the ol' PS2 and play through Steambot Chronicles again. Holy crap I loved that game. Or dig out the SNES and play some EarthBound... Ah nostalgia.

The World Ends With You is all kinds of awesome. It has that Square/Enix feel but is more action oriented than the FF series. And it is one of the few games that really makes good use of the DS's dual screen layout.

I played Hotel Dusk for a bit and got bored. It has a really cool look to it, but the closed nature of the thing made it feel more like a narrative than a game. I know you once described it as an interactive novel, but I didn't feel like there was even as much choice of direction as in the choose-your-own-adventure books I used to like. So I guess it's just not for me.

I am currently stuck on an underwater level in the Tomb Raider: Legend, and am playing Core (not a great game but a guilty pleasure) and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (definitely a great game!)

You gotta stick with it! It starts off slow but it goes balls to the wall afterwards, and there's one or two "side quests" around for you to do that will change the scenes a bit depending on what you do, if you chose to do them or can figure it out.

Its a good game for the story, although the puzzles and interrogations get harder later on. I really liked it, couldn't predict the ending, although I did find it funny that so many people who unwittingly were connected to each other happened to stay at a hotel all at the same time. COINCIDENCE, much?

I don't have the patience to search for these games on this thread to quote it.

Fallout 3 is amazing.
I absolutely CAN NOT wait for the next one to come out: New Vegas.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is amazing, too. And I even more can't wait for Black Ops to come out.

Saya, nope ... I'm really sure I don't want to play Hotel Dusk any more ... it's just not the kind of game I personally enjoy. Also, I pushed myself to finish the Professor Layton game but I'm not touching another one of those ever. My puzzler done been puzzled out.

I have switched from playing Core to playing Bionicle Heroes on the DS. Between Bionicle, the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare game and Metroid Prime Hunters, I think I have the 3 best FPS games on the DS. Core really isn't anywhere near as good.

I just finished Mass Effect two on 360. and now have a dillemma.

I found a couple of old gems for the pc. Dune 2000 and Master of Orion 2. Either will take a lot of doing to get through, not sure which one to play first...
