Digital Crack

My co-worker was introduced to the Wii-citement that I exuded in the later half of last November, and begged for one for Christmas. I think I have Nintendo-Luck (and only Nintendo-Luck), for everyone who has wished for a Wii upon hearing my glee has obtained one. Also, I rock at tipiing people off as to where to get.find these babies.

The Wii is backwards compatible, and she has now received/playing Animal Crossing (the original). All at once, the original excitement of the game came back to me: the surprises of 15,000 Bell fish, not knowing what a goldon shovel was, Sports Week! She told me about her boyfriend's desire to destroy her game because of how little she's seen daylight in playing AC.

It brought me back to... yesterday. I'll admit Yorkelet an Yorke have not had a whole lot of visitations from me (Yorke will get some action when I lend it out to the co-worker) for at least a month, but Puzzle Quest... Oh, Puzzle Quest.

I really don't know what to say that hasn't been said: if you like RPGs and you're hooked on PopCap, this game is digital crack. Puzzle Quest follows Trioncube in puzzle games that make my eyes go crossed for hours on end, but Puzzle Quest has at least three or four different styles of play (one is an solvable puzzle, one is combative puzzle, another is strategy, etc.) with the same pieces! Trioncube, while fun, had minimal things to unlock (50 sound effect, 10 backgrounds). Puzzle Quest is pure unlocking.

So, what's your addiction?
