Posted December 30, 2007 Have many people purchased Puzzle Quest? I'm gonna pick it up when I get some points on my birthday. Seriously understated gem. I would have if I hadn't already beaten it on DS. Takes a while to get it, but it is addictive if you feel it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 30, 2007 Have many people purchased Puzzle Quest? I'm gonna pick it up when I get some points on my birthday. Seriously understated gem. I discovered Puzzle Quest a few days before christmas. When I first played it I wasn't too bothered, just took it as a bejeweled clone. But once you get into it, it's seriously addictive. Loving it right now, though I think the DS version is supposed to be the best one. Touch controls speed it up alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 30, 2007 I heard the PSP was the best one because the DS screen was too small for great touch screen on the balls. I got the PSP version myself, but all versions are great no matter what anyway. Gamerankings Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords DS 81.5% Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords PSP 85.4% Both the PlayStation Portable and DS versions of Puzzle Quest have their quirks. On the PSP, loading issues can cause the game to hang for a second. These disruptive pauses can strike at almost any time, whether you're scrolling across the overworld map or casting a spell during combat. They don't really ruin anything, but they're annoying nonetheless. On the DS, the problems with the presentation are much more severe and end up impacting the gameplay. The graphics aren't as crisp and clear as they are on the PSP, and there are barely any flashy special effects. Most significantly, the puzzle playfield appears cramped on the lower screen of the DS, and it's difficult to discern certain pieces. Because of the size of the pieces, it's also easier to make mistakes with the game's mandatory stylus controls. The content is still good, but these problems make the DS version harder to recommend.

Posted December 30, 2007 I've never had any problems with the touch controls. I guess I never noticed the lack of effects because I don't know any better. Works just fine as is to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 31, 2007 Metal Slug 3 is out next week. I'm thinking of picking this up. Not sure if I want to spend 800 points on it though. I haven't played it before. Anyone recommend it? Metal Slug is a great arcade shooter which you will find addictive and co-op is superb but yeah it should be only 400 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2007 Metal Slug is fantastic. I'd pay 800 for it because I love it so much but it is should not be a 800 point game, especially when all 7 Metal Slugs are only a tenner on Wii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2008 Metal Slug is fantastic. I'd pay 800 for it because I love it so much but it is should not be a 800 point game, especially when all 7 Metal Slugs are only a tenner on Wii. ohhh but you don't get achivements on your wii.. ill probably pick this up for 800.. had it for my ps2 that is stored away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2008 ohhh but you don't get achivements on your wii.. ill probably pick this up for 800.. had it for my ps2 that is stored away In this case anyway £10 for 7 games without achievements > 1 game for £7 with acheivements. However, considering I use VGA for Wii, I can't play Metal Slug for Wii anyway. So this may be the best I can get. Whatever way you play it, Metal Slug is awesome.

Posted January 15, 2008 I bought a 360 recently but didn't really play it yet to study. WITNESS MY DEDICATION! I just tried out the arcade games that came with it and I found boom boom rocket enjoyable, but I don't know how much it costs, so don't know if it's worth it. I really loved Pac-Man CE though. I'm not getting GW, because it's coming to Wii with much more stuff :P Not sure if I'll buy Ikaruga I mean, I have the original I can just pop it in my Wii. Unless this has an online mode.
