There's not a whole lot to talk about this week. Next week will be better though, due to what should be called "phoenix rising." And no, I'm not talking about something to do with X-men or Harry Potter. I'm talking about the stateside release of the next Phoenix Wright chapter. Pheonix Wright is my favorite text-based adventure/point-and-click game. The first game had a lot of replay value for me despite knowing exactly how to cross-examine and question witnesses, find all the evidence, and progress through all the scenarios. So I guess that's saying something about the quality of the writing and artwork. You should really give it a try if you have a DS and haven't played it yet. If you don't trust my opinion, look to the fact that the game (which was expected to have only modest fanfare) has sold out through something like three printings in the US alone.
