Could Professor Layton beat Dr Kawashima in a fight?

It's unlikely that Professor Layton or Dr Kawashima would ever get in an actual proper fight that involved slapping and spitting. Neither of them seem like men of violence. However, they are involved in a fight more important and meaningful than any trading of fists and heavy blows in a dark alley - they are engaged in the fight to win a priceless Golden Joystick award.

  • 3D Picross
  • Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
  • Arkanoid Plus!
  • Brain Exercise with Dr. Kawashima
  • Katamari Forever
  • LUXOR: Mah Jong
  • Professor Layton and Pandora's Box
  • Scribblenauts
  • Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll
  • World of Goo

Conveniently, you can also see all the Puzzle Game of the Year nominees in video form:

My vote is going to 3D Picross (although my money's on World of Goo). I never thought I could love a game about maths quite so much. But there you go. Puzzling.

If you haven't already, make sure you visit the Golden Joystick Awards voting page and don't leave until you've voted your bloody heart out.

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.
