Puzzle Quest format tries out Survival Horror photo

My addiction to Puzzle Quest owns me. I play it every day without fail, even if it's only to knock out a few opponents or gain a level. I didn't think it could get any better, until the news hit that the Success Corp is making a Survival Horror version of the Puzzle Quest format for DS called Joshikousei Nigeru! Shinrei Puzzle Gakuen.  This time around the mix is Japanese Ghost stories and of course, the Bejeweled-style puzzles. The player must match pieces before ghosts arrive to mutilate them.

The idea that someone would combine this new puzzle/story hybrid with horror literally made me happy enough to squeak aloud when I read this, successfully terrifying my cat. I swear I will beg, borrow or steal to get this damn game from Japan. I desperately hope this genre catches on, because then I can feed my addiction for life.

Via Siliconera, Thanks Donut!]

I loved Puzzle Quest for a couple months. But it became very boring in a hurry. Once you find that right combination of spells to suit your play style, it becomes *way* too easy.

This has the potential for awesome. The odd grid layout has me intrigued.

This is either going to fail or be awesome. Those were my thoughts on Puzzle Quest, but after getting it I loved it, hope it holds true for this as well.
