[DS] Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2005)

How:
Heard about it on adventuresplanet.it, got it for my girlfriend as soon as she got the console. Then, she heartily recommended it.
Pros:
- Awesome gameplay mixing visual novel storytelling and puzzle solving (especially the "extra" chapter, where you get to examine objects and use Luminol and fingerprint powder)
- Compelling, awesomely written story
- Great FM music
- Amazing characters with very strong features and dialogues
- Puzzles themselves are not difficult, but solving them feels highly rewarding
Cons:
- Too much white flashing during trials
- Must show evidence exactly when the game expects it, cannot forward-think too much
- Some unresponsiveness when doing things quickly
- Typos in the Italian translation
- Some awkward moments (Wright is constantly mocked by anybody for no evident reason, trials often lose focus and some arguments are very shaky)

[Browser] The Several Journeys of Reemus - Prologue, Chapters 1-4 (2008-2012)

How:
Having heard good things on the full-length adventure (basically on Adventuregamers.com), and people mentioning this free series as "the best adventures you can find for Android", decided to go for it.

Pros:
- Funny writing and nice puzzles
- Nice, colorful characters and animations
- Neat sound effects
- Likable characters all throughout
- Gradually moves from click-your-way-through-the-room to light adventuring
- The red bugs!
Cons:
- Some showstopping bugs (Ch. 3), luckily can reset the level though
- Music is avoidable for the most part
- Moves to ugly font after the first two chapters

[PC] Technobabylon - Episodes 1-3 (2010-2011)


Pros:
- Very nice, consistent and colored graphics
- Interesting, logical puzzles
- Engaging plot and setting
- Different ways of going through dialogues make for different reactions
- The 2nd episode features some gore scenes
- Nice mini-games in the 3rd episode
- The 3rd episode introduces some interesting interactive movie-like scenes
- Very good quality in general
- Episodes length is just right
Cons:
- Would be perfect with more animations
- Music and sound effects are nice but too heterogeneous
- Some (few) times graphics quality worsens (e.g. the Trance zone in the 1st episode, the "beast" in the 2nd ep.)
- It would be the perfect series with just a couple of touches more

[Browser] Rizzoli and Isles - The Masterpiece Murders (2011)


Pros:
- Nice backgrounds and graphics
- Taking blood samples and fingerprints has always been fun
- Direct and varied play mechanics
- Would make for a nice episodic series
Cons:
- A little too hurried in the end, would have made for a nice short game with just two times the playtime

[Browser] The Trader of Stories - Bell's Heart (2010)


Pro:
- Bei disegni
- Interessante la presentazione a slide
- Ambientazioni e mondo piacevoli
- Enigmi semplici ma buoni per passare il tempo
Contro:
- La musica è calzante ma ripetitiva
- Navigazione un po' alla cieca, non si capisce subito dove si può andare
- Dal punto di vista della storia, troppa carne al fuoco da subito
- Il formato browser-based in cui è presentato non rende giustizia
