Default Puzzle galore!

OK, this is just disguised as a useless thread...

Well, it looks I'm in a puzzle frenzy, I bought Puzzle Quest online some weeks ago, but eventually I got too excited while I was waiting for the delivery, so I decided to go in a store and buy Picross.

So, I'm greatly enjoying this two puzzles, one is smooth and sweet (Picross) while the other one is unforgiving and highly strategic (Puzzle Quest). What a nice bunch of emotions!

But I think I'm missing something....yeah, that's fast action and rough addiction.
Fortunately (Planet) Puzzle League is out today in EU, so I'm gonna grab it in a few hours as soon as I leave the office.
I love all the different graphics I saw on gameplay videos, it reminds of Meteos...

I will not be playing so much online (as for Picross: 5 sec of penalty is too short....I saw people with hundreds[EDIT: thousands] of wins, doing continuous mistakes and then beat me....frag off!), but if you want to share friend-codes or discuss it, the board is yours...

Get Polarium. I have always had fun with the Advance one, and the DS is supposed to be much better.

....maybe people already played a 2 year old game.

It was a good game and I don't think the GBA version was inferior, mainly because I found that the Challenge mode didn't fit that well in this type of puzzle.

The other mode (Puzzle) was fantastic, but it was a bit short, I smashed the 100 puzzles in a very short time....Picross is a lot more difficult.

Anyway, I should give Polarium Advance a chance if I find it at a budget price [EDIT: and I'm reading it features something like 400 puzzles, that's a number!].

You are correct sir, there are about 500 I think... I lost it a while back (it was an emu) I really wanted the real one... it was perfect for portable, along with mah Meteos.

Me, I have Dr. Sudoku, best GBA Sudoku made yet... it's made by the company that did Cotton (never played it much)...

I'm still waiting on a good Sudoku game that isn't tied down to a finite number of puzzles. There are such things as puzzle generators, you know, but I've only seen (very few of) those on the PC/Mac side so far.

Dr. Sudoku DOES have a finite number, but there's about 30000 of them...
