Come this Wednesday, Zuma will no longer be the only Mayan-themed puzzle game on Xbox Live Arcade. TiQal (800 Microsoft Points), like so many before it, will have you matching colored blocks in 120 different levels.
While TiQal isn't the most innovative title we've seen on Live Arcade, I'll try to reserve my judgment until I get to take it for a spin later this week. Just because the gameplay looks familiar, that doesn't mean it can't be fun.
Also arriving this Wednesday is a free patch for Switchball that will bring "smoother gameplay" and enhanced leaderboards.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who bought Switchball. Everytime I go to play the multiplayer. No ones playing it. So I've yet to even play the multiplayer portion of the game.
If this plays like Tetris attack I will check it out.
And these ten dollar puzzle games are starting to bug me. Even though I'm probably not buying this, I'd probably consider it more if it was $5, unless it's worth it
