Miami Law
The Nintendo DS will have the Miami Law book thrown at it on June 9, 2009. We've got the (simple and elegant) character art, and developer Hudson sent over short character bios for the cast in this crime scene investigation action-puzzler -- but they sent the file in some completely unworkable, columnar Excel spreadsheet.

The brainy Sara Starling gets stuck with puzzle-based mystery solving (Sudoku! Matching games!), while the unlikely-named Law Martin more often himself in shootouts (on Navy boats!) and car chases (through Miami's mean streets!).
