Puzzle Quest 1.5 gets name, dubbed Revenge of the Plague Lord

by Jason Dobson { Apr 3rd 2008 at 10:00PM }

Refusing to heed our suggestion, D3Publisher has picked the name for it's upcoming version 1.5 update for Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. The download, which will drop over Xbox Live this spring, will carry the rather tortured title of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords - Revenge of the Plague Lord. Let us pause now and catch our breath.

According to D3, the mouthful was picked from a collection of more than 500 suggestions sent in as part of the last month's call for potential monikers, which turned out equally labored names as "Sorceress of Malbec" and "The Scourge of Antharg," the contest's two runner-ups. Still, while we find the chosen name difficult to swallow, we remain excited for the expansion, which promises to tempt us with new hero professions, spells, items, and quests. Goodbye free time, we hardly knew ye.

Every time I look at the title, I see: "Revenge of the Plaque Lord". Sounds like an interesting dentistry sim.

...

I want to play a dentistry sim now. Damn you, because I know it will never be made.

That was exactly what I thought of when I read this title.

Check out Plaque Attack! on the Atari 2600. =D

Lord's Revenge: Quest of the Puzzle Plague

this dubbing is really generic, i'm surprised they couldn't think of better. It is far from a generic game, its very unique and a lot of fun.

I suggested "Scourge of the Plague Lord". SO CLOSE!

Jonah Falcon @ Apr 3rd 2008 10:29PM

Wait -- if one of the runner ups was "Scourge", and the winner was "Revenge", then why wasn't "Source of the Plague Lord" selected? >:(

Jonah Falcon @ Apr 3rd 2008 10:30PM

Oops. Source= Scourge. But still... (sigh)

Considering Puzzle Quest was 1200MSP, how much is this gonna run me? D:

"...which turned out equally labored names as "Sorceress of Malbec" and "The Scourge of Antharg,"..."

Hey, I thought "The Scourge of Antharg" was pretty clever given the little story blurb the submitters had to work with. I don't really see how "Revenge of the Plague Lord" works except to rip off the third Star Wars prequel. The guy's not even getting revenge, he's just the next step in your quest to match colors.

In fact, I kind of preferred the original PQ 1.5. Oh well, I get a free copy now so I don't really care what it's called =P. (Yay for being the first to submit a pretty obvious title!)
