Professor Layton & the Curious Village

Professor Layton & the Curious Village


i love reading detective stories & IQ questions books since i was a kid.. i kept begging my mom to buy me those books every time when we went to the bookstore..
this game is about case-solving + puzzle/IQ games.. which is exactly what I like!!

the animation is so cool.. it was like watching an anime on my DS!! & some of the scenes have audio too!! & yes, it's VERY addictive!!

there are more than many puzzles (~130) for to solve + u can download new puzzle every thursday on WiFi!!

i heard that there is a sequel to the game, & in fact, it's a trilogy!! Professor Layton is already in three volumes in Japan.. the 2nd one called "Professor Layton and the Devil's Box" (see preview) & the 3rd one called "Professor Layton and the Final Time Journey"..



u can find a video review from IGN at here..

here are the trailers.. enjoy!! (it's really like an anime!!)

Play & Feed a Hungry Person @ Free Rice

this is Amazing!

i was searching for a DS game that my friend told me & then i came across this site..

simply play the vocabulary game & with each correct answer, 20 grains of rice will be donated to the United Nations World Food Program.. it's funded by the advertisers.. so all u need to do is to go to FreeRice.com & start using your knowledge of vocabulary to feed the hunger! (u can learn new vocabulary too!!)

FreeRice has two goals:
1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.


P.S. if u r wondering if it's a hoax, check out Snopes for more information..
P.P.S. if u wanna know where the Rice goes, please click on the pic below:

LG bought me this today (thx, LG)!
it has been out of stock for couple weeks.. & when LG went buy it, this was the 2nd last one left in store.. WOW..

here r some info:
Learn how to cook with your Nintendo DS! As a budding chef you must first prepare foods then combine raw ingredients together as you cook them on the stove. Follow real recipes or experiment with your own combinations to create a culinary masterpiece with your stylus.

the recipes r mainly japanese dishes, e.g. Miso Soup, Grilled Gyoza, Fried octopus dumplings, Rice Balls, etc.. which is nice as jap food is my fav!! in fact, there r some chinese dishes too, like Shumai Wonton & Spring Roll.. while cooking, i'll have to measure the rice, chop, mix, saute, etc.. & there will be more recipes open up when i finish a dish..

the one on the top screen is "Mama".. she will give instructions while i'm "cooking".. & she'll get really mad if i cook badly.. & one interesting aspect of the game: i actually have to blow into the NDS microphone to cool food down.. :P

for more info/reviews, please visit GameSpot or Nintendo..
