OBJECTION!

So, rarely I pick up and play a game just because someone told me I was retarded for not having played it. So I grabbed a copy of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and stole my girlfriends DS. (Yes, it is hers. Shut up.)
The game is basically a graphic novel that you get to control - generally you play as the rookie lawyer Phoenix Wright, and solve crimes and such and so forth.
And it is stupidly fun.
I mean seriously, how you question people is just fun, with the clever and witty writing of the characters, and visually watching witnesses start to sweat on the stand as you pick apart their testimony is amazingly satisfying - but I am not going to lie, there are a few frustrating parts. I not going to spoil anything, but at a particular part you are actually REQUIRED TO FAIL to continue with the court case. So I exhausted every avenue, presented all evidence, questioned every goddamn thing the lying bastard said and got NOTHING, and all I needed was to GIVE UP before the game progressed. And I had to discover that in a playguide. I feel dirty.
But I just can’t stop playing.
Bonus easter egg: Click the main image of Phoenix Wright to make your very own web ‘OBJECTION!’ and send it to your friends. Like this one.
