So, let's say you're a company called Infinite Interactive. You're riding on a wave a fanboy love for your brilliant game
Puzzle Quest: Forgettable Fantasy Subtitle, and you need two projects to follow it up. How do you do it? Well, you could go with a
sci-fi re-imagining of the series, but what else? ... What's that, peanut gallery? Did we hear "a game based on Neopets"? ... No? Well, tough noogies, because that's what you're getting during this year's holiday season on DS, Wii and PC.
You know the scariest thing? We played
Neopets Puzzle Adventure at Capcom's Captivate 08 in Las Vegas last week -- and we liked it. Like, a lot. Check back for our hands-on preview later today and understand the full extent of our shame.

You should get two copies, no doubt you'll be addicted, too!

What is the game mechanic? The screenshots look like Othello with special squares to charge up your skill meters.

It's Reversi, with special squares.
5's give you an extra 5 points.
If you "hold" (have one of your tokens on the square), of the coloured squares,then you can use it to activate one of your Petpets (spells).

Ah, I remember camping for fairies and actually beating the bots at buying them. Fun times.
