Video Game Roundup: Professor Layton, Halo Reach, Spider-Man

While we spend most of our time working the land in FarmVille and shooting up foes in Mafia Wars, we also have a soft spot for games that you can't play on Facebook -- good, old-fashioned video games. This week, get a sneak peek at three games that have everybody talking.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

MSRP $29.99 for Nintendo DS

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is the third game in the popular franchise that combines logic puzzles with an engaging sense of mystery. If you're familiar with popular casual games like Mystery Case Files, Professor Layton may be up your alley.

The stylish professor must use his wits to help solve a mystery that takes place 10 years in the future and has connections to an event that happens in the present, and also 10 years in the past. Confused yet? Don't worry because the story is easy to follow thanks to some comely cutscenes that play in between puzzles.
