WRUP: Curious Villages and Nocturnal Swine edition


This week's releases had some high-profile games on offer for those of us in North America, most notably Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Barnyard Blast: Swine of the Night. Now, we don't have to tell you the appeal of these games (actually, we already have), so we'll just get down to the nitty-gritty: any of these games on your weekend agenda? If not, what will you be playing?

I picked up DQM:Joker when Amazon had it on sale, so I'm trudging my way through that game, but my copy of Professor Layton should be sitting in my mailbox when I get home today, so who knows what the weekend holds!

I hadn't even heard about Layton until after it was released. But between your recommendations and Penny Arcade's hilarious comic about it, I'm going to have to pick it up.

But really, it's just going to be another game to add to my pile of shame. I'm so behind!

I'm _trying_ to resist Layton til I go on vacation in a month (it'll be great for long flights, I'm sure), but it's getting really hard to not just crumble and buy it now. Maybe I should head off to the game store right now ...

I've already finished Layton, but that's because I got hooked and played for almost 3-4 days straight (and because I got some help on about 5 puzzles), instead of doing things like homework and sleeping :) I can't wait for the sequel!

I got Layton for Valentine's Day and it is one of the best!! I had to use a real clock for the time puzzle at the beginning.

Yeah me too. I remember one time I was sick and I went through the entire special water dungeon in Final Fantasy I.
