Title: PopCap/Square Enix team up: Gyromancer
Post by: idolminds on Thursday, September 24, 2009, 10:23:51 AM: Neato! (http://www.gamerbytes.com/2009/09/tgs_09_popcap_and_square_enix.php)

Its like Puzzle Quest, but with some insane level of polish and art. It'll be on XBLA and PC.

This looks like it's built around the gameplay of Bejeweled Twist, where you rotate instead of swap. It takes a bit of getting used to but it's fun.

The art and style look amazing!

Post by: idolminds on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 01:05:33 PM: Well, its out. Sadly it looks like the PC version requires Steam since I haven't seen it anywhere else, and no mentions of it going anywhere else.

Bummer.
