Thanks you buggers, I scoured the globe (by this I mean Medina, my town) looking for a copy, finally found one by chance at my local Target sitting on a shelf freely.

It all started Thursday night when I downloaded the PC demo and lost track of time, and found myself linking skulls in the dark.

This is proof to me that a 3rd party actually can have success on the Nintendo systems, contrary to popular opinion. All it takes is a good idea, talent, and attention to the design. I’m hoping someone like these guys do something on the Wii sooner or later.

I already have 3 DS. 2 of them are Lites. (as noted above)

It’s definately not for everyone, as we all have different tastes. I actually can’t stand bejeweled, but I love this game. I think it’s the challenge of the AI.

PSP? Pfft, DS all the way! Plus the PSP version has a bug where you don’t get credit for your companions. Nintendo powa! =p

Oh, PSP dropped to $169 now. Tempting…

I’m weird. Tried it and didn’t like it.

I hate you all.

Lost at least five hours to that infernal demo last night. It’s almost enough to make me want to buy a PSP, although I’d be much happier just buying a full PC version of it.

Am I supposed to take “opinionated” as a compliment? :)

Apparently there will be a PC version of Puzzle Quest out later this year, but the devs can’t talk about it for contractual reasons. You don’t program a PC demo for a game that will never run on a PC.

The DS and PSP versions have some small differences. The PSP obviously has the shinier graphics, but the DS has the better controls with the stylus. And the PSP version has a bug that makes your companions not give you their bonuses, which is annoying.

They’d be silly not to make it backwards capable. Hopefully it’l lbe a few years before the next one, and they’ll have a space for my cartidges and game cards =)

BTW, the game gets much better as you level up! Strategy FTW!
