Bejeweled+Mana
Puzzle Quest is a game that takes the basic mechanics of Bejeweled with elements of an RPG. For example, if you were to match three red gems you get three "Fire" into your mana pool where you cast spells. Aside from the "mana" gems there are skulls. If you match three of these you do damage to your mythical foe.
While the game play is relatively simple you can add alot of depth by using certain spells and power ups in order to make battles exciting. Aside from battling mythical creatures you can do many other things. You can capture mounts, build a castle, research spells, and go on quests to gain items and experience. All of the typical RPG add ons are here so there is more than just puzzle battling.
The only problem with this game is that the computer cheats. While the developer says different I beg to disagree. At certain times the computer will get these random moments of "luck". All of the sudden it will get 4 of a Kinds and 5 of a Kinds, which extend your turn, and then you somehow lose all of your HP and lose.
Aside from that problem, Puzzle Quest is an enjoyable experience that blew my expectations out of the water. There is a surprising amount of depth and addicting game play to boot. Whichever way you can get this game, you should buy it.
