Henry Hatsworth: A Puzzling Adventure
Mike "Pheriannath" Katsufrakis
Electronic Arts - DS

As a dapper gent, I find that there is a dearth of games suitable for consumption by someone of great stature, such as myself. When Electronic Arts passed information about a game aimed at gentleman adventurers to me via telegram, I exclaimed (in a suitably masculine tone), “Horsefeathers!”, rushed to my dirigible and gracefully flew to the nearest purveyor of electronic games.

What awaited me was nothing short of awe-inspiring! Starring Henry Hatsworth (as dapper a gent as there ever was), you adventure your way through a variety of fantastic environments as you search for the most dashing suit in all the world. Any adventurer who finds himself in such escapades will naturally be faced with myriad enemies, and Hatsworth, as any gentleman should, is equipped with an array of attacks so effective, he banishes his foes to an entirely different genre! Once one of his enemies is destroyed, they are whisked away to a puzzle board, where they will claw and fight their way back towards the reality you and I know!

Luckily, our man Hatsworth is informed on their machinations, as he possesses the ability to manipulate the aforementioned puzzle board and rid himself of these ruffians once and for all! He even has the nigh-preposterous ability to summon a mighty mechanical suit by drinking his afternoon tea, which transforms him into a fantastically Victorian dealer of what for!

I can recommend this title to anyone with an appetite for adventure, tea, biscuits, puzzles and fine menswear. Tally ho!
