| Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Professor Layton has been something of a saviour for the DS in 2008. Although we've only seen The Curious Village, our Japanese gaming brethren have enjoyed a full trilogy of period puzzling, and together the games have proven to be some of the bestselling titles ever seen on Nintendo's handheld.

So it shouldn't be a massive surprise that Japanese ultra-gaming magazine Famitsu has announced a whole new trilogy of games starring the eponymous Professor and his sidekick Luke.

The new series will begin in the Autumn with Professor Layton and the Devil's Flute. The subsequent games have yet to have any details revealed, but we can only hope this ushers Nintendo and Level 5 to get the two existing Japanese games (The Devil's Box and The Final Time Journey) translated and released over here.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
