ESA Banned DS-ROM from ROMULATION.net

Romulation.net, a site provided its user with tons of ROMS, recently disabled its links of DS ROM. The site's says :

"The goal of RomUlation has always been to provide users with an opportunity to try out games in order to determine whether it is a game worth purchasing or not. We have always respected when publishers or developers felt RomUlation did more harm than good to the sales of their product.

The owner of this game contacted us with concerns that our service was doing more harm than good, so as per our goal and beliefs we have complied with their request to remove their intellectual property.

This currently covers ALL of the NDS games.

We understand that this may frustrate users who were looking for new games to test but we hope you also understand that this is both necessary and in accordance with our beliefs."

Is it going to be the end of RomUlation.net?

[E3] Professor Layton and the Unwound Future - DS

Detail :

Nintendo
Level 5
Genre : Puzzle
Release Date : September 20, 2010 (North America)

Okay this game caught my attention, so I decided to make a preview of this one. :D

Summary

Another game of Professor Layton already here and will be available in North America in this fall.

Story

At the start of the game, Luke received a letter from his future self, but this is just one of many mysteries that player will have to solve. The duo will have to lead to London to see the unveiling of the Time Machine invented by Dr. Alain Strahngun. But things go horribly wrong, and now Luke must follows direction that were given by his future self to see where it all leads.

Game Play

If you already play the series, you will feel familiar with the interface. Stylus used through the game, such as tapping a shoe and clicking around the touch screen to find coins, talk to people and solve puzzle. Now you can 'buy' a super hint for two hints coins once you cannot solve the puzzle by using three initial clues. Well, for the cos of two coins it is not so bad, and also you can save the time.

From GameSpot.com

The first few puzzles were fairly easy, ranging in the 10 to 20 picarats range. As usual they test your critical thinking ability but really, sometimes it's about reading the question carefully and finding the right approach. We look forward to playing more of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future and we will soon when the game is released September 20.
