Prepare for a New Addiction: Puzzle Quest 2

​When the original Puzzle Quest came out I was unprepared for how thoroughly it would grip me. We're not talking about a gentle grab followed by a half-hearted lift and a loving embrace -- we're talking about an aggressive seize immediately proceeded by a powerful hoist and a violent kiss on the mouth. That game opened my eyes to the latent potential of "gem-matching" as a core game mechanic in a relatively hardcore RPG title; something I would've once believed never possible.

A few sources have sited different release dates, but all of them agree that this Spring will provide you access to the virtual heroin. Check out the trailer after the break to see the interesting new changes in non-combat based gameplay, as well as the more subtly altered combat gameplay.




On a side note I would love to see PQ2 on the iPhone -- then I could get my fix anywhere...on second thought that's actually a really bad idea.

@Kari: it really would, I'm just afraid that my productivity level would plummet :-/. I need to whip my self-control back into shape.
