Meet the Class of 2008

Apollo Justice | Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney | 2008

What's his story?


With a name like Apollo Justice it must have been inevitable that he'd become a lawyer. Or an astronaut. Or a boxer. Or a porn star. Whatever. With the help of sleight of hand magic girl Trucy and smooth-operating legal boffin Kristoph Gavin, rookie defence attorney Apollo Justice embarks on his first big case. We don't know the crime. We don't know the suspects. And, members of the jury, we still don't know if we like Apollo's hair more than Phoenix Wright's.

What can Apollo Justice bring to gaming?

Just like Phoenix Wright before him, Apollo Justice will continue the fight for, well, justice, obviously, using brains rather than brawn to bester his opponents. No mutant powers, no guns blazing, no swishy sword play. Just smart-thinking in a sharp waistcoat. A rare thing in today's violent gaming landscape. The killer trick up Apollo's dapper sleeve is his ability to sniff out conniving liars by interpreting body language. And he's got the best name in gaming.

Apollo Justice is the new face of 2008 most likely to...

...have a name that is - amusingly - an anagram of 'slap juice tool'.

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
