Review: Illust Logic + Colourful Logic DS

by on Jan.16, 2008, under The Rest

Gots me a review on EG this afternoon.

It’s the completely splendid, spend my entire time playing, has replaced sleep, Illust Logic + Colourful Logic.

Hudson Soft does it again. Picross, done perfectly. Trying to fathom the logic of UK games publishers, and that none of them have picked up the Hudson Soft Puzzle Series, will only hurt your brain. A collection of the most sublime puzzlers, fearfully and wonderfully made, so very perfect for the DS. It only gets more bemusing when you realise that most of these games – Sudoku, Akari, Kakuro, Picross, and of course Slitherlink – appear in national newspapers, magazines and probably the backs of shampoo bottles. Do they not like making money or something?

    It doesn’t seem that puzzle games generally sell very well, sadly.

    The Brain Training and Big Brain Academy series’ are basically puzzle games and they appear to be selling very well, as far as I am aware.

    OK, a very few puzzle games do well, but the bottom end of the sales charts have dozens of them.

    I don’t need to turn on computers for puzzles …my entire life is just one on-going riddle ….I’ve given up sleep since you set Titan Quest loose on me.
    However, the ultimate logic puzzle on a computer is: writing a program and getting it to work..
    I saw the review of Warlock … for which, thanks to this blog-owner, I now have the T-shirt … and I found myself feeling quite keen to have a go at it. … The whole thing was written on an Alphacom 32 thermal printer role (4 inches wide) and the copies faded to blank paper years ago

    I recommend a form of editing called, “Read what you’ve written before you press send.”
