Puzzle Quest on XBLA tomorrow News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Microsoft has confirmed that Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords will be available on Live Arcade tomorrow for a mighty 1200 points (GBP 10.20 / EUR 13.96).
It's that game Tom kept going on about where you have to battle fantasy nasties using a puzzle screen not unlike the one in Bejeweled.
The idea is to line up skulls in rows or columns of three or more to damage your enemies, or replenish your mana for fancy spells by completing lines of gems.
When you're not battling you plod around a map unravelling a harmless story told by cut-scenes, as well as bolstering your forces with more fighters and generally powering yourself up.
It was a bit of a surprise hit on the DS and PSP earlier this year, although we think this had lots to do with Tom harbouring a rather unnatural attraction to the undead lady in it.
Even so, it has prompted publisher D3 to bring about this Live iteration, as well as PC, PS2, Wii versions - it's even rumoured to be in development for PS3 and Mac.

Yikes, 1200. I wonder how it'll fare against the other games available. Does anyone know how many suckers bought Lumines Live?

Fantastic Game & Hugely addictive but £10.50 is very steep for an XBLA title and no doubt will contribute to poor sales of a great game.
Will it be worth it if you have in on DS/PSP? Does anyone know if it is a fullscreen HD version? If so it may be worth getting anyway /admits is occasional graphic whore |

I've got the DS version which is pretty definitive in terms of gameplay, i can't imagine using an analogue stick instead of the touchscreen.
It is uber addictive, great for pick up and play, extended sessions not so much. |

Can someone explain what the multiplayer consists of? Just puzzling or any co-op/storyline action?

Which goddamn genius decided to release this on the same day as the Orange Box? I've been waiting for this for months, and now it's not going to get played (or bought) for a few weeks because I've got too much else to do. And I've no doubt that there'll be something else to tickle my fancy by then, too (Speedball 2, I'm looking at you.)
