Merscom to bring sudoku puzzles to XBLA

The game, a conversion of Merscom's PC title of the same name, will boast such enhancements as "a very fast entry method" using the Xbox 360's thumb sticks, as well as support for multiplayer over Xbox Live. Buku Sudoku will also sport HD resolution, which to be honest seems wasted on a game about filling out numbers on a grid. That said, if Xbox Live Arcade can manage to make hardcore gamers fall in love with UNO, don't be surprised if your Halo buddies have to cut out early in order to throw down with some serious number counting when Buku Sudoku is eventually released.

Sweet. Hopefully that background is like a theme for a level. Would be annoying playing hundreds of Sudoku puzzles looking at that.

Those commuters are not 'crunching numbers.' Sudoku involves NO math.

The only "difficult" part is finding the first few numbers, then it's all coasting. I never saw the fun in Sudoku. Crossword puzzles for the win.

I'll stick to playing it on the DS. It just wouldn't feel right to play it somewhere other than the bathroom.
