Puzzle Quest Is Just Another Name for Crack

Puzzle Quest....

Where do I begin...

I went to a local Target this weekend. Usually I go to check up on what movies are there, and to see if there are any worthwhile games on sale. Yeah I'm a cheapo, but whatever...

I get to the checkout at the front of the store, getting in line behind an impossibly large woman, and woman with four or five kids around her, all screaming at the top of their little lungs. I just wait there counting to 100, just hoping for the kids to shut up.

Well my prayers are answered and now I find myself at the counter ready for checkout, courtesy of a pretty girl. Things are looking up, and I see that at the counter, in one of those big cardboard stands, there are a bunch of discount Nintendo DS games. Among Hannah Montana, which I almost bought, I saw a little package with the title Puzzle Quest. I had read about this game and remembered that nothing but good things had been said about it, besides I really, really, really love Bejeweled(no I'm not gay).

I get home, pop open my DS, which I haven't played in months and insert the cartridge.

Well, Holy Shit...

This game is crack in video game form. Whether it's going after a rat to capture it and make it your mount, or learning new spells, this game is absorbing... It's either the uniqueness of the game, or I just haven't played something good for the DS in a while...

Any of you guys played this game? Thoughts and comments are appreciated.

I picked up the $15 Puzzle Quest myself today... but I'm not allowed to play it until Christmas. I mentioned to my mom that was one of the things I wanted, and she gave me the cash for it. Thanks for nothing Jesus.

Oh, and I'm totally getting Guitar Hero III for Xmas as well from my friends, although I'm not supposed to know that. Obvious gift size is obvious.

Just wait until you reach the first "boss," Dugog.... you will hate yourself for a long time. But, when you beat him, it's pure bliss!

I'm too fucking poor to buy this! Isohunt, you are my best friend.

@ velcroman: Is the full game for PC for free or is it "just" a demo?

I was another addict of that droug game that is Puzzle Quest. And yeah, I can assure you you will hate the name of "Dugog" (F*CKING CHEATER!!!)

cheating AI is the worst, especially when they get fucking four
"4 in a row" moves, that sucked bad.

Yeah, enjoy the game until Dugog. I'm pretty sure he was added because the developer was too lazy to add anything in after him.

Son of a bitch actually whupped me without me ever even getting a turn once.

I played that game ALOT for awhile. It's definitely video game crack. If you play it alot, you can look forward to seeing patterns of skulls and gems when you close your eyes and dreaming of four-in-a-rows when you do fall asleep.

about me
WARNING:The following description makes liberal use of the little ( ) symbols, so deal with it. Sup dudes, I have an Xbox 360 (request me, I need friends... sadness...). I love old school games(Pac-Man, Galaga, Super Mario World, Streets of Rage, you get the idea.) I also harbor a love for the more modern(Resident Evil 4(die zombie bitches!!!!), HALO(YES I AM A NERD), Beyond Good and Evil(a true masterpiece), Mass Effect, Bioshock, Call of Duty 2 & 4. I have an Xbox 360, although I suck at achievements. I have a Gamecube, which pretty much left me in the dark of modern gaming a couple of years back, a Playstation with a large collection of RPG's, which I have come to despise, a Nintendo 64 which I never really played, damn Playstation taking up most of my playtime, and a still(somehow) fully functioning Super Nintendo & boy do I love that thing... I attend high school in LA, shout out to my peeps!(not really) I love indie music, makes me feel sort of crass and snotty though...Although I've recently acquired a taste for classic punk music and underground hip-hop(weird I know). Oh, and I like stamp collecting and taking long strolls down the beach...
