Square Enix and PopCap's Gyromancer started out as a joke
Other interesting tidbits came out of the interview -- namely, the sections dealing with the similarities and differences between Squeenix and PopCap's collaboration and 2007's Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. However, we think the real takeaway info from the interview is th...

PSN Thursday: 'Finally, some PS1 games' edition
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix makes its PSN debut this week in the US, no doubt intending to feed off the free publicity from the new Star Trek movie. Other than that, there's a lot of new DLC for many different titles, as well as three new PS1 games and even a few full PSP games. What is this, Europe?

This Wednesday: Galactrix Flocks things up on XBLA
The good news: Flock and Puzzle Quest: Galactrix are both headed to Xbox Live Arcade this week. The bad news: They will cost you not only an arm, but also a leg to obtain. Flock clocks in at 1200, while Galactrix will set you back two Hamiltons (aka 1600). If you can live without a couple appendage...

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix beams down to XBLA on April 8 [update]
We take no pleasure in admitting that Puzzle Quest: Galactrix on the DS was a poorly designed, loading-time-riddled heart breaker. So, it's with no small amount of trepidation and a modicum of hope that we report the XBLA version of the game will arrive on April 8 for an undisclosed price. [U...

MTV's Totilo: DS version of Galactrix plagued by load times
Considering our outrageous, unslakable handheld lust for Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, we didn't think anything could keep us from diving back into our dual-screened device for a go at Galactrix -- though a report from MTV Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo is giving us slight ca...

Filed under: Microsoft Xbox, Microsoft Xbox 360 As pointed out by Joystiq expatriate Kevin Kelly, the above picture (text box excluded) was reportedly featured in a recent Yahoo! article on Xbox Live cheating. It seems a bit, erm, antiquated. That, or Yahoo! has some inside scoop on a new X...

Best of the Rest: Zack's Picks of 2007
Pick nearly any system that plays Doom, and there's a Puzzle Quest for it. I'm an action-puzzle fanatic, and Puzzle Quest initially bored me with the "quest" part of the title. What's with the lame exposition, spells, and characters? Once I quickly realized that most of those "quest" parts...
Best of the Rest: Griffin's Picks of 2007
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (DS) At first consideration, casual puzzle games and role-playing games seem like two great tastes that, together, taste like stale poison. Casual games are supposed to be short, singular experiences that you can pick up and put down when need be;...
Best of the Rest: Alexander's Picks of 2007
As Peggle is to Plinko, Puzzle Quest is to Bejeweled. Finding just the right mix of RPG and addictive puzzle action, Puzzle Quest's missions and ancillary elements create an experience that every person should own on their handheld for trips -- or on a console for 10-minute breaks. The real...
Best of the Rest: Justin's Picks of 2007
Filed under: Nintendo DS, Features, PC, Sony PSP, Microsoft Xbox 360 Dead Head Fred (PSP) Puzzle Quest (DS) The big disappointment is that Mass Effect was a great game that should have been a classic. It's a fine line, but when a game has this much promise, it's an infuriating one.

Metareview: Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (PSP, DS)
With a mix of puzzle and role playing elements, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords tries to hook both casual and hardcore players. Does it succeed? The answer is a strong "yes", though the game is not without its issues. The DS version has smooth stylus control but has a cramped screen la...
