Professor Layton and the Curious Village on Nintendo DS

In the curious village of St. Mystere, townsfolk speak to each other in riddles, lock their doors with sliding puzzles and hide their secrets within brainteasers. When a wealthy baron passes away, his will reveals an elusive treasure hidden someplace inside the village. Now it's up to Professor Layton to untangle St. Mystere's riddles and puzzles, find the hidden treasure, and crack the case.
As Professor Layton, players tackle more than 130 puzzles as they unravel the mysteries of the village. Challenges range from mazes and riddles to logic and sliding puzzles, many of which are new for the North American release. Touch-screen controls make working through puzzles a snap for players of all skill levels, and new puzzles are available weekly for download via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Unlike other puzzle-driven titles, Professor Layton is the first to offer a story, cast of characters and style that are just as strong as the game play. Fully voiced animated scenes bring the story to life, while the funny and eccentric villagers and the classic, hand-drawn art provide a stylish charm that will appeal to gamers and non-gamers alike.

Game storyline: When the wealthy Baron Augustus Reinhold passes away, his will reveals a hidden treasure in the village of St. Mystere. Unable to locate the treasure themselves, the baron's family calls upon renowned puzzle expert Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, for help. Upon the pair's arrival, their search for the treasure is interrupted by the suspicious death of another member of the Reinhold family. Now with two mysteries on their hands, Professor Layton and Luke must work their way through the village's many puzzles, riddles and brainteasers to find the truth.

How to progress through the game: The storyline and puzzles are tightly integrated, so that as you explore the world and progress through the adventure, you will encounter more and more puzzles. Many of the puzzles are new to the North American release.

Characters: Archaeologist and puzzle master Professor Layton, his wide-eyed apprentice, Luke, and a host of quirky townsfolk.

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Content: Each week for half a year, a new puzzle will be available for download via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

PlayStation 3 - Cuboid - Magic Ball - Lumines Supernova - Crash Commando and Jeopardy! video games

Two years into the lifespan of the PlayStation 3, Sony's online offerings are a mixed bag.

On the plus side, LittleBigPlanet and its energetic community of amateur level designers make it essential for PS3 owners to have an internet connection.

On the minus side, there's PlayStation Home, the drab, under populated virtual world that's drawn almost universal derision since its beta launch in November.

And then there's the PlayStation Network, whose library of software, game add-ons and movies has grown at a healthy clip over the last year.

Some of PSN's more experimental titles, like The Last Guy, Echochrome and the forthcoming Flower, have gotten plenty of much deserved attention.

But lately, I've been relishing some old-fashioned puzzle games from an unheralded Massachusetts developer called Creat Studios.

Cuboid: The object of Cuboid is to manoeuvre a rectangular brick (actually, two cubes glued together) through a two-dimensional maze.

Sounds simple, but one key restriction - you can only move the cuboid by flipping it on its sides - makes each puzzle much more difficult than it originally appears.

As the game progresses, you'll confront new obstacles, like switches, drawbridges and panels that can't bear the full weight of the cuboid.

Some mazes seem impossible until you stumble across that "a-ha!" moment, which is the most satisfying experience you can ask for out of a puzzle game. Three stars out of four.

Magic Ball: You know the old Arkanoid formula, in which you use a paddle and ball to clear a screen full of obstacles. That's the essence of Magic Ball, but the simple bricks of the original have been replaced with animated figures.

In a nautical-themed level, for example, you may have to knock out pirates and sharks. You can also juice up your attack with nifty power-ups, like cannons and meteors.

Magic Ball doesn't break new ground, but it's the liveliest, most colourful Arkanoid knockoff yet. Three stars.

Lumines Supernova: The hypnotic block-matching puzzler Lumines has been a reliable time-killer since its debut in 2005.

The PSN version adds one new mode, Dig Down, in which you're forced to start with a mess of unmatched blocks. Otherwise, most of Supernova is recycled from previous releases.

It's worth the investment if you're new to the game, but veterans may be disappointed. Two-and-a-half stars.

Crash Commando: If you get your online kick from running around and shooting your friends, you don't want to miss Crash Commando. It takes the 3D death match game play of, say Unreal Tournament and squishes it into 2D.

The result is as hectic and hilarious as any full-price shooter. Three stars.

Jeopardy!: You can't take America's most popular quiz show and make it multiple-choice.

And you definitely aren't going to meet another Ken Jennings among the dunderheads I've seen playing this lifeless translation of the TV hit. One star.
