Henry Hatsworth DS looks to be potentially addicting photo

Looking at the screens for Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure gives me the type of mixed feelings I can only imagine compare to alcoholics drinking for the first time and realizing they are going to be addicted for life. I think it's the mix of platforming and puzzling that scares me, considering the eighty hours I plowed into Puzzle Quest because of a similar hybrid of genres.

You can peep out a few new screens in the gallery, in addition to the cover which I have posted above and which intrigues me even further despite the fact it's got a casual flavor. Henry is wearing a (magical) bowler hat, holding a sword AND drinking a cup of coffee? What a badass mofo.

Hatsworth belongs in English lore. Motherfucker could've staffed the entire round table with just himself.

I have been trying to draw the attention of this game to many that have been shit whining "EVERYTHING EA MAKES SUCKS FUCK THEM" some have been positive, good progress.

I have been looking forward this title since the very first screnshots, the gameplay shouts so much 1995 class.

Is it just me, or is this like, the first interesting original DS game to come from a US developer ever? I mean it looks great, but it's been a few years coming, yeah?

Andromeda: NEITHER IS FRO.

Well, I guess it is, but not in scrabble. Scrabble is important.

And Henry Hatsworth looks awesome.

The fact that Big Ben transforms into a destructive robot makes this a frontrunner for GOTY.
