Yeah, I lost about an hour and a half to the demo Friday night. I'm flying to London Wed. This will be going with me.

According to the developer's forums they are going to release on Xbox 360 next and then a full PC version. They did not have a timeline for these versions though.

I love RPGs and enjoy most casual games, but man do I hate Bejeweled and its many horrifying spawn. Twenty minutes of yawn-inducing gameplay was more than enough to demonstrate that this one is a definite pass.

I had a blast with the demo last night. I'm picking this up for the DS as soon as I find it. If I haven't burnt out on it by the time the PC version is released I may grab that too - it's a great laptop game.

Amazing how games like this can be completely off my radar and then jump to must buys.

Dunno, going to go pick that up as well as Cooking Mama Wii for the wife. I predict failure, as I never seem to get games on the day they're released.

I've called around and had no luck finding a copy.
Looks like that's another game I'll have to wait until after my vacation to play.

A couple of places said to call back in the afternoon, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Apparently, the UK version is available. I guess if I can't find a copy here today or tomorrow, I can pick one up in London Thursday or Friday. Exchange rate will kill me though.

I saw a preview for this in a gaming magazine and got way too excited. I'm already a huge fan of Puzzle Fighter, Meteos, Magical Drop, Puzzle Pirates, etc. I'll round up a few trade ins this weekend and call around. Weee!

Picked up the DS version yesterday along with STALKER. I ended up playing this most of the night Great game!

I was worried about the smaller size until I remembered how much I played Meteos, and those things were tiny

It's gonna feel smaller, but I got used to it pretty quickly, and the stylus really is quite accurate. My biggest issue with the PC -> DS transition was that your mana and stats were on a seperate screen then the spells and puzzle board, instead of columned together like on the PC demo. Honestly though, if I had played the DS version first I doubt I would even notice, and I got used to it quickly anyway.

Something that does suck is instead of a mouse over for help text you need to click a help button then tap what you're interested in. Annoying, but a pretty small deal once you know what your spells do. I'll try and post something in more detail later.

Also, don't try to read into the 'story' to much, you may bleed out your ears

You know, I have Bejeweled on my PDA... and I love it. I think my high score is around 240k, and all the rest of the high scores in the 70k. I haven't been able to reach that 200k range again, and what's funny is that when I got the 200K score, I wasn't even paying attention to the game. I was watching TV and was just fiddling with it, and it kept going and going.

I may have to pick up this Puzzle Quest majigger.

And did you see the other new puzzle game being made by the same company? It's pretty much the same game as puzzle quest, but in space! They know their formula, and their audience it seems.

Picked this up Saturday morning - EB was apparently the only place around me that had a copy, and I got the last one. It sounded like they only got one or two.

Definitely an enjoyable game, I'm sure it will get a lot of playtime in my DS. It took me a bit before I actually inverted the screens - I was wondering how to check status ailments until then. It's a neat trick to get the touchscreen to affect the entire visible area.

...when...?

when...my pc...puzzle quest?

please...put puzzle on pc...must have...

So what class is everyone playing as? I chose a knight because the idea of being able to spam experience seemed pretty good, but now I wish I had a class that could progress its elemental masteries a bit faster. It's less of a problem now that I have a temple in my citadel (where you can trade gold for upgrades to your skills), but the further I progress in the game the more it becomes clear that it would be awesome to be able to quickly stock up mana.

Edit:

Also, the guys at Penny Arcade are pretty into the game as well.
