My name is Tony, I'm 26 and currently run an online, vinyl-only record store with my wife - NerdAlertRecords.com. Before that, I worked at Nintendo for 10 months in the department where 1st and 3rd parties games much pass a rigorous set of tests before they are allowed to be put into production, wrote game reviews over at AceGamez.us.com for about 2 years and graduated from college with a BA in Creative Writing.
I'm kinda in a gaming lull right now, I think I burned myself out by gaming 12 hours a game for 10 months, but I'm hoping Call Of Duty 4 will help that.
Professor Layton came in stock today at work and the puzzler sucker that I am immediately went and picked it up. Using a mix of British charm, light humor, awesome cartoon-style graphics and enjoyable puzzles, it doesn't take much time with the title to figure out why the series is so huge in Japan.
Here is the first 8 minutes or so of the game if you are interested to see what its like, get a taste for the English version or whatever. Yes I realize I fucked up the first, extremely easy puzzle - its not as easy trying to play it through the view-finder of a camcorder though, but I will take your abuse nonetheless. ;P
Just don't miss out on it next week if you enjoy your brainteasers and mindbogglers!
Sorry Luzer, I don't work at a store and you're not going to find the game in any store until next week. My work has a company store that sells us certain titles a week in advance, so that's how I got ahold of it.
Only a few more days then you will know how awesome it is!

What store do you work at?
Also, what state? I keep calling walmarts and bestbuys here in Sacramento, CA, but no one has it in yet.
