GT reports:
''Last year's Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords was the little game that could, a genre-bending sleeper that wowed gamers with its addictive gameplay, charming characters and deep-as-you-want-to-go RPG elements. So it's not surprising that Australian developer Infinite Interactive is hard at work on a sequel but don't expect the same medieval setting and continuation of the original story.
Instead, Infinite Interactive is looking into the future – way into the future. Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is set 20,000 years from now where humans have explored the galaxy and encountered many alien races, some friendlier than others. One particularly nasty group of uglies wants to wipe out humanity, so naturally it's up to you to save the human race by kicking their butts in jewel swapping puzzles. Ha, let's see Master Chief do that!''
Hardcore Gamer: The Puzzle Quest games have been big hits in the digital era and have breathed new life into puzzle games by applying some RPG gameplay mechanics to the genre. Now, instead of spending $10 for the Galactrix and Challenge of the Warlords entries, you can get them both for only $1 each.
In this second of four parts, we discuss how games based purely on luck are little more than immoral cash cows for the people who produce them - and represent some of the worst design choices out there.
In this episode the guys talk about Quantum Conundrum, DayZ, Rainbow Moon, Heroes of Ruin, SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance, Sushi Castle, About To Blow Up Part 1, Wushi, Grand Slam Tennis 2, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, some news and plenty more.
