The puzzle genre has been in some desperate need of fresh ideas: Tetris spawned a stream of 'hurry before the screen fills up' clones and Bejeweled ushered in the 'take your time, switch stuff around' era. You can see both camps' influence on Puzzlegeddon, but it acknowledges its lineage without being derivative.
If you can find a group of friends willing to engage in puzzling to the death (and, occasionally, beyond) then you can probably get a good deal of fun out of the game. If not, Puzzlegeddon may go down as yet another game handicapped by a lack of a solid fanbase, which would be unfortunate, as it's a fun if occasionally unpolished experience.

According to Microsoft’s Major Nelson latest tweet, the latest round of backwards compatible games are here. If you own any of the following titles (or purchase them), you will be able to download them now:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution — Director’s Cut
Final Fight: Double Impact
Faery: Legends of Avalon
Frogger 2
Puzzlegeddon
Backwards compatibility is starting to blow up. I bet publishers are seeing increased sales from older titles.
lame..no Black Ops 1
Deus Ex HR was always on there this is just the Directors Cut.
Anyone underwhelmed about BC titles lately have to understand that MS is probably waiting for BC blowout during their E3 press conference. Black Ops, Bioshock and other big titles have already been confirmed for BC at some point. Read Dead and other long rumored. I'll be very surprised if we don't see many of the most requested BC games announced at E3.
