Puzzle Arcade Game Review–The Strangest Game You’ll Ever Love

April 20th, 2009


You’d never think that jigsaw puzzles could make for good console gaming, but the sheer fact that Puzzle Arcade exists on Xbox Live Arcade is all the proof anyone could need.  And you too can experience this proof for eight hundred Microsoft points.

Basically, I’ve already given you the plot–you’ll have a series of jigsaw puzzles to assemble all on your TV screen using your Xbox 360 controller, a concept that I had thought would be boring but turns out to be at least somewhat entertaining.  Between that and the music, it’s one of those excellent kind of “chill games” that you can sit down to with a hot cup of tea after a long day and just unwind with, slapping puzzles together, and without having to keep a whole bunch of cardboard boxes in your hall closet and find some decent smooth jazz.

It’s a very niche title, and definitely not for everybody, but if you can appreciate a game that’ll calm you down just as much as it’ll pick you up, then you’ll definitely enjoy a round of Puzzle Arcade.
