No Money for Music: Week of October 27

It’s great to be able to listen to a variety of songs on iTunes Radio. However, over the years my music library has accumulated all sorts of downloads based on free giveaways. I even got a Kanye West song on Halloween. After the break, see the songs with the album art and the descriptions Google and Apple wrote for them.

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Dual Destinies First Impressions

The law has been a passion of mine, so Capcom’s Ace Attorney adventure game series is a franchise I pay close attention to.

Recently Capcom released the fifth game in the main series, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. I am happy to report that new look is a return to form for the courtroom adventure, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Phoenix Wright back in action.
