Neopets Puzzle Adventure - like Puzzle Quest

Puzzle Quest fans (and who isn't!) heads up, this one's for you. The folks over at Infinite Interactive are working on another puzzle title for Capcom - Neopets. If you've heard the term before, Neopets is a popular franchise from Nickelodeon.

Neopets Puzzle Adventure will work in similar fashion to Puzzle Quest in that the gameplay is strategy based mixed with a RPG style. Set to launch on the three systems this holiday season, Neopets Puzzle Adventure takes puzzle solving skills to new levels with a unique Neopets spin. Based on the classic board game, “Reversi”, Neopets Puzzle Adventure, is a robust and fully integrated Neopets experience as it includes 150 different quests across vast Neopian lands, a variety of the most popular customizable Neopets to choose from, and several fun mini-games to add depth and fun to the gameplay. As a bonus to Neopets fans, players will be able to earn codes throughout the game that connect back to the Neopets site by achieving certain goals throughout the DS, Wii or PC game. These unique codes will allow players to unlock exclusive items back in their virtual world on neopets.com.

Puzzle Quest XBLA Price

We've all longed for Puzzle Quest to come to XBLA. It was just so much fun on the PSP and DS, which many of us already own. So it appears yesterday at around 80MB, a small file, other than the price! Puzzle Quest for XBLA has the rather whopping price tag of 1200points! That's around $20AUD, €16EUR and $17USD for a file of 80meg. Now we know it isn't all about the file size, this is a great game, but we were expecting it to be 800 or 900.

Here's hoping game prices on XBLA don't start to sneak up in price. The fun of XBLA was that you could replay old favorites and not have to pay through the nose for them, especially as some people already had / have the games on retro formats. Who wants to pay a fortune for what is for some, a second copy of the game they paid $70 for in the high street. All up we've now paid $90 for Puzzle Quest. Yeah I know, we didn't HAVE to buy it again, but we wanted to, so really yeah, you can argue the fault isn't with MS dropping a 1200 point 80 meg file on XBLA, but with the likability of this game over willpower to stop yourself lol.
