Puzzle Quest is....good(?)

[matrixsucks]

Ya, I know. This is for all of you puzzle fans out there. I actually was suprised to read that this game is not only good...but addicting. I've been waiting for a good puzzle game since Lumines. From crave:

Puzzle Quest is one of the scariest games I've seen in years. I'm no stranger to game addictions. I've been on and off World of Warcraft three times now (permanently off now; I'm not getting the expansion and don't like raiding), and have been hooked on everything from Oblivion to Zelda. Puzzle Quest offers the kind of nightmarish addictive powers I haven't seen since Tetris DS and Lumines. I have no idea why, but there's just something compelling about shuffling around blocks to get points.

and from Gamespot:

For as often as developers attempt to marry distinct game genres hoping for a peanut-butter-and-chocolate-like result, they usually come out more peanut-butter-and-onion. Infinite Interactive's Puzzle Quest is one of the rare exceptions, and the way in which it integrates familiar puzzle gameplay into a traditional Japanese RPG format makes for an experience that is far greater than the sum of its parts. The way these disparate elements play off each other helps make it an incredibly difficult game to put down, and it finds a smart balance between accessibility, challenge, and variety that makes it an easy game to recommend to just about anyone.

What do you guys think?

I saw this game on G4TechTV a few days ago. It does look pretty good. A fresh take combining the genres. "Addicting" is always a great quality when it comes to puzzle games.

I bought it and I like it. I got a little bored with it, a little repetitive, but I'll be back to it as soon as Wipeout Pure runs its course.
