    Phoenix Wright 3: Trials and Tribulations. I'm up to the "second" day of case 5 (first day investigation, technically), and...ohmigods ohmigods ohmigods, this game is so great. I mean, it's soo squee~! Really shiny. Totally pretty-pretty-like and such. Utterly floosh.

    It's, basically, the same gameplay as the first two games (excepting the DS-exclusive 1-5, which won't return until PW4 gets localized), but the cases are more difficult, longer, and interesting. 3-1 and 3-4 are both as Mia Fey in her earliest trials (defending Phoenix in the first and facing a young Edgeworth pre-1-4 in the fourth, no less), 3-2 and 3-3 are as Phoenix, and 3-5 appears to be Edgeworth ("take a trip, return home, end up in bizarro world"), of all people (though the medical docs say Nick will recover after the first day of trial is over, so we'll see). There are so many squee~able things, like the return of Larry Butz (oh dear), narrow-minded cultural assumptions (take a look at the fireplace, 3-2), the Ace Detective against the Ace Attorney in the exciting trial of a daring thief (me being a fan of shows like Kaitou Saint Tail, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, and DN Angel), the faceoff against an evil doppelganger, the Mafia ("he got an offer...he...couldn't...refuse"), programmers (Blue Screens, Inc..."sounds like a stable company"), and the not-so-ambiguously-camp-French muscleman chef (and amateur aromatherapist), and everyone's favourite cafe-swilling, coffee-hurling, java-holic, toaster-mask prosecuter, the enigmatic Godot (who has a highly amusing introduction if you know of or have seen the play his name came from), who rivals Edgeworth in sheer coolness and serious awesome, as well as seeming to be a pretty decent person compared to, say, the von Karmas. He apparently has also spawned his own out-of-game challenge (17 coffees, black, rapid succession). I just love it so much. Oh, yes, and that woman (not saying who for spoilers, though it'll be clear after the first case who I'm talking about) is pure, unadulterated evil.

    I'm glad you like it so much, but...umm...floosh? You aren't stealing pages from Kara-kun's book, are you? Still, these games are just soo quotable.

    Judge: "Perhaps you shouldn't point your pointer finger at this."
    Mia: "Perhaps." *PENALTY!*
    Mia: "(What else is a pointer finger for except pointing?)"

    Godot: "So, did you do it?"
    Ron: "Yes."
    Phoenix: "(...what?)"
    Ron: "Err, I mean NO! No no no no no! I didn't do it!"
    Judge: "For a moment, I thought we set the record for the shortest trial ever."

    Godot: "You just earned yourself a penalty. Now, suck it down!"
    Judge: "You will suck down the penalty, Mr. Wright. And you will like it!" *PENALTY!*
    Phoenix: "(Thank you, sir, may I have another!)"

    Pearl: "Mr Nick, how dare you do such things with your client's wife in front of your special someone!"

    Mia: "Now I know whose milkshake brings all the boys to the yard."

    Armstrong: "Oh...zis is stressing me out! I got to apply ze oil on myself....*rub* *rub*"
    Phoenix: "(ARGH! My eyes! IT BURNS!)"

    Lisa: "I'm sorry! That information is SuPer-Admin Restricted Desktop Access password-protected."
    Maya: "SuPer-Admin Restricted Desktop Access password-protected? What!? This is madness!"
    Phoenix: "No, Maya. That is SPARDA."
