Phoenix Wright – Ace Attorney (Nintendo DS)

Just had time for a quick go today because it was really cold in the car. Edinburgh isn’t the best place for semi-outdoor activities. Anyway, I managed to bail Maya our of prison (it’s a long story) – or rather Edgeworth did. I had a quick snoop about the crime scene and had a word

Phew! I’ve survived the first day of trial, but only just. Ol’ Edgeworth was a walk in the park compared to Hell-fiend von Karma. I’ve managed to expose the star witness as a bit of a crank, but there’s a new witness (who I know nothing about) giving evidence in the morning. Gaaah. Still, got

Right – day one’s investigation is over and I have accumulated quite a pile of (admittedly circumstantial evidence). I’ve also managed to uncover a witness who is likely to be more of a hindrance than a help. There are elements of the case so far which are related to incidents in earlier cases, so I

Case 3 CL0S0RED! (Ahem). Well, it was all very unexpected in the end, and I don’t think Edgeworth is very happy with me but all’s fair in obscure-japanese-courtroom-games, it seems. So, trial 4 unlocked – I wonder what wierd and wonderful treats will be ahead of me in this one? Trial 3 was tough –

Gah! It’s getting hard now! I’m on the last day of the trial and the witness I’m questioning is…… unhelpful. The overall difficulty has taken a hike as well – evidence is a lot less direct now (for example, using an item in one state as evidence about an item in a different state –

Object0ration! Guhh. Day two of the trial of The Steel Samurai is over and it’s back to investigation. It turns out that the prosecution’s shock-h0rr0r witness was more of a help than a hinderance and I’ve all but cleared the Samurai’s name. All that really remains is to find the real killer (not my job,

Phoenix Wright – Ace Attorney (Nintendo DS)

This game is yet more evidence (as if it were needed) that the DS is the best gaming console yet created. The plot has thickened considerably since managing to get into the trailer. It’s looking pretty grim for the steel samurai. I have no conclusive (or even helpful) evidence whatsoever, so the trial is going

Mwaha! Managed to get an ajournment at the end of day one of trial three by casting aspersions on Ms Oldbag, the mental security officer. Turns out her evidence was a pile of incomplete poo, so I’m off investigating again. Finally tracked down the Director, Sal Manella, who talks in TEH C0mEDY L33t!!!11!one! It’s a

Phoenix Wright – Ace Attorney (Nintendo DS)

Previously, on Pheonix Wright…….. well, the last time I played this, I only did the first two trials (one being a kind of tutorial). I’ve just started the third trial and it’s a lot more involved. It really is an ACE game, because it’s very different from pretty much anything else. I think it was
