I heard a lot about Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney last year, but never got around to playing it, mainly because I didn’t want to go through the trouble of buying a Nintendo DS. However, now that I have a DS and managed to get a copy of the game before it went out of print AGAIN, I can proudly say that I have played the fabled Phoenix Wright, and it is excellent, and I highly recommend it. It’s extremely melodramatic and intentionally cheesy – what more could I possibly want in a game?

I also played Trace Memory (AKA Another Code in other parts of the world), which was also good. A friendly ghost that reminded me of Casper follows you around everywhere. Unfortunately, there was no instance in the game in which said friendly ghost turned into a human who just so happened to be played by a barely pubescent Devon Sawa. I was, indeed, disappointed.
