On the surface, Kurulin Fusion is similar to a plethora of other puzzlers already on the market. Two kinds of multicolored pieces cascade down a playfield: square-shaped power blocks and circular energy orbs. Much like Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, two similarly colored squares which are adjacent to one another will fuse together and form a larger object. Once a like-tinted orb comes in contact with any size power block, the two formations disappear from the screen, netting the player points. As with most Puyo Puyo/Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine inspired-titles, the gameplay seems convoluted when explained, but becomes clear when experienced.
GDN writes: "Kurulin Fusion combines some strategy skills with your standard match-three and places it all in a cool atmosphere with great visuals and tunes. The music was done by reknowned Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu and is based on classical music (but in a totally techno sort of way)."
GoFanboy writes: "At first glance, Kurulin Fusion could easily pass for Super Puzzle Fighter II. And that's never a bad thing for a puzzle game looking to stand apart from the competition. Two variants of colorful pieces drop down the playfield. These include both square power blocks and circular energy orbs. Just like in the popular SPF II, you build up the blocks by connecting the square-like pieces. Once an orb of a similar color hits any size grouping of power blocks, the result is a cleared space giving you a nice bundle of points. The gameplay may seem a little confusing or odd when you read my description, but that's typically the case with most matching games on the market. But it's not that complicated."

"Amazon has a handful of Playstation Network games discounted 50%!
Here is the list:
Critter Crunch (PS3) - $3.49 (Normally $6.99)
Burn Zombie Burn (PS3) - $4.99 (Normally $9.99)
Kurulin Fusion (PSP) - $2.49 (Normally $4.99)
We highly recommend these games at that price...
Check out the rest:"
Critter Crunch and Burn Zombie Burn are worth the full price so they are definitely must-buys at those prices.
Sony is offering these same games on sale too during their 10 for 10 Sale. What I'm interested to see if whether or not Amazon will start to offer sales even when Sony isn't. That's the clincher right there. Especially if other retailers start to pick up PSN games.
Think I might try Critter Crunch. Wish I would have waited till now for Braid.
