Puzzle Quest: Galactrix video; release Q109
If you haven't tried the original yet Puzzle Quest yet, now would be a great time what with that price drop. As for the sequel (which we still can't believe is actually being made), Puzzle Quest Galactrix had its first bit of gameplay released which shows off some of the changed game mechanics.
Changing over from a grid based system to a hex-based system would mean of course that gems wouldn't fall when those beneath them were removed, so the play field has been moved into zero gravity. Now, the gems will "fall" in the direction that they were swapped. Move a gem diagonally up and to the right and the gems from diagonally down and to the left will move to fill the space.
If that sounds confusing check the gameplay video after the break. And the current release window is the first quarter of 2009.

Have they released any word on the PQ: CotW expansion yet? They've been pretty quiet on that lately.

Why is there no PSP version, and where is the online for the DS? Portability was the making of this series. Sitting in-front of a television isn't really the same as just going into your briefcase and pulling out a handheld.

That actually looks pretty cool. I'm interested in how the space ships and space travel will work in the game play. I guess the puzzle aspect looks fine, but I think I might be more interested in the RPG elements this time.

While I am looking forward to this game, their is a much better chance that I'll be picking up the DS version.
