Title: Looking for a new game
Post by: ScaryTooth on Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 12:59:32 PM
Thinking about getting puzzle quest. The xbox 360 version. Anyone play it? How is it?

Maybe "No More Heroes"?

I have Puzzle Quest.  Pure heroin, especially for the price.  Get it.

No More Heroes seems like a good choice, especially if you have played Killer 7, most people who enjoyed that game seem to be loving No More Heroes on various message boards.  I personally enjoyed Killer 7 so I think I would enjoy No More Heroes as well, but I do not have a Wii.

I have no clue how good the 360 version of Puzzle Quest is, I want to say Cobra has it, so he could probably post impressions on it, hopefully it isn't as horribly buggy as the PSP version was, which Que could elaborate on.  I really need to get Puzzle Quest myself (perhaps for the PS2), but I've been playing too much Tabula Rasa lately though.

For PC Games, I could easily recommend the following:
--The Witcher
--Portal
--Bioshock

Puzzle Quest on XBLA is probably the best version.  It corrects the earlier bugs, and I think it trumps the PC version (which I tried as well).  It's insanely addicting.

Yeah, I'll vouch for the XBLA version as well.

Yeah.  Just avoid the DS and PSP versions if you can, ESPECIALLY the PSP version which is broken.  Well, in certain circumstances.  I tried playing it again and this time I haven't run into any major bugs, but a lot of people have run into a lot of problems.

Otherwise... I've been playing the living crap out of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance which is pure awesome layered on top of more awesome.  And Final Fantasy XII, but you were the one who turned me onto that in the first place, heh.  I don't have too many suggestions.  But yeah, I'll vouch for Puzzle Quest.  The game itself is really quite something as long as you avoid the buggy versions (PC or XBLA should do you fine).

It's great.  The story is cute, but kind of meh thus far, but the gameplay is there in spades.  It can be pretty tough, but the twists are a lot of fun.  I got the game used, and it shipped to me with a save on it of over 80 hours, and the guy had only done like half the missions.  There's a lot to dig into if you really want to, and the art and music are great.  It's very charming, hard to put down.

Still a tough choice. Thanks for the recommendations guys. Leaning toward Puzzle Quest at the moment. But No More Heroes looks awesome too. Blah, I'll sleep on it one more night, and decide.

Just download a DOS version of X-Com: UFO Defense, DOSBox, and Xcomutil.  Sweet gaming with $0.00 spent.
