Awesome Radical Gaming

Normally, I’m not really into puzzle games, they just aren’t my thing. Ever since Tetris and Dr. Mario I just haven’t been able to get into them. So, when I picked up Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I knew it had RPG elements, I just wasn’t sure how it would all come together. Well, it all came together awesomely. In fact, so many people liked it that a sequel is now headed our way. Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is set in the future. Instead of round pieces like in the previous game, Galactrix uses hexagonally shaped pieces which play differently then in the original. Also, gravity plays a large role in this game, affecting how pieces move.

Portal is my favorite game of 2007. So many things combined together to make the game great. I really liked how it’s a FPS where you aren’t running around killing everything in sight but instead solving puzzles. That and the amount of character they put into GLaDOS.

Well, turns out Portal 2 is on the way.
