Under DS
As exciting as the prospect of Puzzle Quest in Space might have been, the excitement offered by Galactrix was completely derailed by the game’s outrageously lengthy load times. However, in a recent interview with Kotaku, D3 Publisher’s Michael Cerven claimed that the recently announced Puzzle Quest 2 won’t be plagued by the frequent intermissions, as developer Infinite Interactive “rebuilt the DS engine from the ground up to be fast and perform smoothly with very quick load times as opposed to retrofitting the lead SKU code for the DS.”
If Cerven’s claims are true, we suppose this is good news for the impatient puzzle-solvers out there. However, we got so much stuff done during Galactrix’s near-constant loading screens. We even learned to speak Esperanto! Ĉi tiu estas rakonto pri videoludoj!

Under Wii / Nintendo
Though we’re confident Infinite Interactive’s Puzzle Quest 2 will eventually be a mega-multiplatform release like its predecessor, D3Publisher announced that the game’s roll-out will start on DS and Xbox Live Arcade. It’ll be out in spring 2010, along with every other game you’ve ever heard of, which means that you’ll now have the choice to play all those games or Puzzle Quest. They’ll occupy about the same amount of time.
Puzzle Quest 2 will let players match gems as one of four new character classes: War Mage, Inquisitor, Barbarian, or Assassin, using “all-new weapons, spells, and shields.” Sorry if you just got over a Puzzle Quest addiction.

Under Xbox 360
It appears that GamePro will reveal the first details of Puzzle Quest 2 in its next issue. Beyond a single image, the mag doesn’t drop any details on its website. After Infinite Interactive went a tad off course with Galactrix — meanwhile, developing Puzzle Kingdoms, Puzzle Chronicles and Neopets Puzzle Adventure — it’s good to see the team going back to its roots.
From the image, it seems that Puzzle Quest 2 is being developed for Xbox 360, but if it’s anything like its predecessor, the game will eventually release on every console, handheld and electronic device known to man. One can also deduce that purple is now a rune for spells instead of XP. But what purpose do the gloves serve? We’re sure to learn more very soon.

Under Xbox 360
The excellent and addictive Puzzle Quest gets half off this week for Xbox Live Gold Members. Major Nelson sends word by necromantic carrier pigeon that the jewel-dropping epic will cost a mere 400
($5).
Even if you aren’t interested in the game at the moment, may we suggest picking it up as a “boredom insurance policy?” Seriously, the first time you get bored, just boot up Puzzle Quest and you’ll come out of the trance sometime the following week. Hey, listen … we said it was an insurance policy against boredom — nothing about you being able to keep your job, spouse or grades after starting.
