Papo & Yo isn't just a game -- it's interactive poetry.
Papo & Yo is not a AAA release. There is no bloated budget here, or tacked-on multiplayer, or DLC to be had. Likewise, the game isn’t as polished as most big budget releases. But what it does have – what so few AAA titles have – is heart. This game was forged with a soul.
This ain't your grandma's murder mystery.
James Patterson sure knows how to write an interesting story. Right off the bat, the player is thrust onto a crime scene involving a young Asian woman washed up on the shores of San Francisco. James, you have my full attention.

TouchMaster 3 is the (obvious) third installment of the (obvious) TouchMaster handheld series. Having recently played this game at a Warner Bros. event, I'm now in tune to what TouchMaster 3 plans to bring to the handheld table. There are 20 different games spanning 5 categories: puzzle, action, card, strategy, and word challenges. Games include titles like Bumperball, Slime Assault, and Wild Words. All games have a brief tutorial beforehand to let you know what you're in for and how to do it.
Layton and his apprentice strike again.
When playing the first installment of the Professor Layton series, I was intrigued by the twists and turns of the storyline, characters, and even the puzzles. Its recently released sequel, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, had me wondering what intriguing story line they could possibly come up with. At every turn of the plot, I found myself remembering the first game and expecting those surprises to come through, but they didn't. In fact, even more interesting story lines emerged, retaining some much loved characters but adding in some others, such as Sammy. Long story short, Diabolical Box is everything Curious Village was and more.
