Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – $29.99

This is the Phoenix Wright game I said earlier that wasn’t gonna be 3 bucks. But hear me out.

This is an amazing game that involves Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton meeting each other and having to solve some weird mystery in a dimension filled with witches and witch trials.

Half of the game involves Phoenix Wright trying to defend people accused of witch craft in the traditional court room scene only, in this universe EVERY witness takes the stand at the same time so while they take turns telling you what happened you have to point out the parts of their stories that don’t match up.

The other half has you take control of Professor Layton as he roams the town trying to solve the mystery of what’s happening while uncovering evidence that can help Phoenix Wright. And in true Professor Layton fashion, expect a lot of townsfolk to not cooperate with you unless you’re willing to solve a mind bending puzzle.

To top it all off, the game features stunning animated cutscenes and the game is gorgeously rendered in 3D.

Oh, and another good reason to get it now? The physical copy of the game now tends to go for between $100 and $300 so…you know…don’t do that.
