The offspring of PopCap and Square Enix -- y'know, the one that sounds an awful lot like something you'd stick in your mouth -- is nearly upon us.

When we last checked in, there was a discussion going around about how the concept of Gyromancer was spawned as somewhat of a joke. Today, we have a meatier talking point: the game's release date.

Wednesday, November 18 is when the magic happens on both Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC. Along with this news, we received a trailer that does a mighty fine job of showing just what the heck the game plays like.

I love me some Bejeweled Twist, and I have little reason to believe I won't feel the same way about Gyromancer. Who's with me?

I could never get my wife into Puzzle Quest, I'm hoping her Bejeweled 2 addiction and love for all things PopCap will soften her up for this one.

I just could not really get my head around Bejeweled Twist. The patterns are so different, and my mind is trained for regular Bejeweled too intensely.

I can't tell: Does anyone know if it's going to be turn based or speed based? I tried to like Puzzle Quest, but I hated that you alternated turns with the enemy. This trailer doesn't show two turns in a row, but in the Japanese version, there's one snippet of a guy going twice in a row without enemy intervention I think.

Also, Cait Sith looks like he got zombified and will probably infest my dreams tonight.
