Since I seem to be the last to know about this I'll make it short. IGN is reporting that Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is coming this Wednesday to XBLA. They are citing a mysterious press release (will someone please track this thing down for me) from publisher D3 which states that Puzzle Quest will arrive if "all goes well".
And here I was about to write a story about the recent appearance of a theme and picture pack for Puzzle Quest making me think the game was near. Silly me.
And in case, mysterious press releases aren't good enough for you, how about a very unsubtle visual hint seen this week OnTheSpot (at about 35:00-direct video player link).
Who's ready to shell out 1200MSP for some matchin' and questin' in and around good ol' Bartonia?

I've to admit I'm kind of lost when it comes to this title. To me it looks very boring and definitively not worth 1200 points. But then again, I have not a single clue about the game whatsoever, so I'm probably wrong.
However I'm kinda looking forward to this, I don't know if it's because everyone besides me are excited or if it's because I like the Quest suffix in the title. Sounds somehow very epic :)

I really hope this week is Puzzle Quest (maybe even a double header with Warworld), but when it comes to release dates lately I'll believe it when it happens.

A wise attitude. (^_^)

After several run throughs of the PC demo waiting for this version, I can't wait to finally earn some cheevoes and have a nice distraction from Halo 3 (for brief periods of time.)
Please MS, don't pull this one out from under us!
EDIT: What's to debate about price? 1200 MS points for a game that (allegedly) will take 50 hours to finish? That sounds like a deal to me.

The only people who have generally commented on the price are just reactionists. A just copy for PSP is ~$17.99, ~$20 for DS and will retail at $20-$40 for the PC and Wii.
The majority of Major Nelson commentors complain about everything. Which is too bad since when valid comments on overpricing (such as GH2 DLC) are voiced they just get brushed off.
