Maybe it's my inability to work with numbers or my awful math skills, but I've never been able to finish a basic puzzle. However, I decided to give Sudoku Ball Detective for the Nintendo DS the benefit of the doubt. So, is this the start of a new love affair with Sudoku, or will I be sticking with the crossword puzzle next time I grab the newspaper?"
Waiting for the ultimate 3D Sudoku experience? Well keep waiting, because it isn’t happening anytime soon.
Poland’s White Bear studios are developing a sequel to Sudoku Ball: Detective for the 3DS.

You can often find a sudoku puzzle alongside - or, in some cases, replacing - the crossword puzzle in any magazine or newspaper. This fact was not lost on video game developers, as at least one form of sudoku has hit all of this generation's available consoles. With the touch-screen being a natural replacement for standard pen and paper, the Nintendo DS is the king when it comes to Sudoku. The portable console has seen countless versions of the numbers game either as stand-alone titles or as companions to the ever-popular brain training titles. The glut of these titles has created a problem, since they seem the same to the average consumer. Playlogic and Whitebear Studios seem to have this issue figured out with their latest title, Sudoku Ball: Detective."
