Galactrix has finally come out of the shadows with some limited details of the game being shown at the Game Developer's Conference 2008. The game, which now boasts the Puzzle Quest moniker to become Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, is going to be similar to surprise hit Puzzle Quest, but the game will now be played on a hexagonal board in a sci-fi setting. Also, the state of gravity in the game (blocks falling to the bottom of the board) has been revamped to expand on the sci-fi theme and gravity will come in different directions, meaning that the blocks may not necessarily fall downwards like in the original Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. No confirmed release date has been given but the game has been announced for the DS, PC and XBox360.

This weekend
Friday (about time too) means the weekend is just around the corner.
It's a tricky situation this time though. I have some stuff to get on with and Saturday's are pretty busy. However, I should have some time for gaming. I have 2 to pick from though. There's Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth to continue, or there's Final Fantasy 12.
I hate these kinds of decisions. VP:L is a refreshing change from normal RPG's while Final Fantasy 12 is epic, huge and not one to be missed by FF fans (like me :-) ).
Or I could restart Puzzle Quest and help to make a new FAQ...

A great comeback
Played Puzzle Quest yesterday and I made one hell of a comeback. Here are the details.
I started a battle against a Liche (which I'm starting to hate more and more as I go on). Battle started normal enough. I have 245 HP and it had 155. So I started to knock down it's HP and got to 120 ish.
Then, he managed to aquire all the mana required for his mega spell and duly cast it, reducing my HP by half AND producing skulls on the board. I had so much HP that for all but about 10 spaces, the board was full of skulls. He ended his turn and I was left with... 2 HP. He took out 243 HP in a single turn!
Obviously I was fuming so I carefully went through the board and started to chip away and get some mana. I eventually ground him down to 7 HP using a few stuns and extra skulls. I then got the final shot in and beat him - taking no damage along the way. Needless to say I was ecstatic :-)
