Destructoid: "I am going to love to hate Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. Why? Because this game is going to steal away my life.
I never got into the first Puzzle Quest. I never understood the appeal of it and never gave it a proper chance. I probably would have skipped over looking at Galactrix while previewing some of D3's other titles at their preview event had it not been for the appeal of the sci-fi aspect. I have nothing against fantasy, but anything science fiction-related always gets my attention.
In any case, I kind of wish I did skip previewing this game cause I can't stop thinking about it now. I feel like a crack addict who's in desperate need of a hit. Oh God, there are bugs crawling under my skin. Even worse, they look like Galaga bugs!"

Now, instead of spending $10 for the Galactrix and Challenge of the Warlords entries, you can get them both for only $1 each.
