While we find it no joke, apparently Infinite Interactive's CEO Steve Fawkner thought that his company's receiving death threats was worth a slight chuckle. Heck, if the company received death threats before they revealed this, then they're sure to receive many, many more after today.
That sound you hearing? It's probably Eric, crying his eyes out as we hear about Infinite Interactive's new project, Neopets Puzzle Adventure. He's probably the biggest fan of their first title, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, we have on staff, so afford him some time to mourn.
If you still find yourself interested in the title despite it's Neopets branding, know that Joystiq managed to get some play time in with the title and actually enjoyed it. Hopefully that'll be enough to pull Eric out of his dark place.

I'm even to overlook the cutesy Neopet stuff for a good "Puzzle Questification", but from the screenshots it looks like it's based on some sort of Othello gameplay (blech!).

This may actually work for those who want to introduce kids to Puzzle Quest...

I was super excited for puzzle quest. Then it actually came out on Wii. Seriously, I didn't play the other versions, but the one on Wii had glaring issues. Namely, the fact that in order to read any of the games' text (and there seemed to be a lot of it in the short time I tried to play the game), I had to be about 1 foot away from my tv screen. And even then, I still couldn't read most of it. First time that's ever happened to me in my 20+ years of gaming. It wasn't just me, either. There is no excuse for such a terrible, game ruining mistake. They can stick with Neopets for all I care, I'll never buy another game from them again.

This was on a 32" SDTV that has always had a decent picture, in case anyone was wondering.
