The game takes the classic formula of Bejeweled and combines it with role-playing elements, letting you power up spells, level up characters and face a barrage of unspeakable evils (including a wicked smart catapult). The game was a tremendous success for both the DS and the PSP, and now D3 is back with a DS-exclusive sequel that pulls out all the stops. Rather than follow the formula of the original, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix launches you into the deep reaches of space, where no one can hear you chain together combos."

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