They might not be doing so hot right now, but that doesn't mean we should forget the success they've had for the most part of the year.

Level-5 sure acts fast on their games.

While a lot of you (myself most definitely included!) are waiting for the sequel to Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Japan's already gotten the third installment just this week.
