A downloadable PS3 version of Telltale's Laytonic puzzle adventure game, Puzzle Agent, was announced a couple of months ago. On the PlayStation Blog, the publisher cleared up precisely when you'd be able to use your DualShock 3 to guide Nelson Tethers through the mysterious, puzzley town of Scoggins, Minnesota: April 19, for $10. Sadly, you'll have to use that controller, because this version won't be Envelotech-compatible.
Find a teaser for the PSN version after the break. Although an even better teaser would be all the media released for every other version.
Good game. I got it while the error on their site was going on and you were allowed to download the full game for free. The puzzles get a little repetitive, but the story stuff is really cool and well-done.
I played Puzzle Agent when I got it for free for pre-ordering Telltale's Back to the Future game. It was actually a lot of fun. LIke OneManFreakShow said, some of the puzzles were a bit repetitive, but the story was actually pretty good and kept me in it just so I could find out what really was going on at that old factory.
Saw this video earlier in the week and it's got me interested. I love adventure games and this one looks promising. The other one I'm curious about is Red Johnson's Chronicles. It comes out on PSN this month too and looks pretty good.
I loved this game. Sure, it could have had some better puzzles, but the story more than made up for that.
Puzzle Agent Info
Description
What the heck is going in Scoggins, Minnesota? When White House inquiries to the Scoggins Eraser Co. are answered only with curious puzzles, the U.S. Department of Puzzle Research's Nelson Tethers is sent on the case.
The strange case of Scoggins plunges Tethers into a mystery that will challenge every ounce of his expertise, and possibly his very wits too. He must overcome brainteasers at every turn, including mazes, logic puzzles and riddles, and he soon realizes that these - along with the clinically pre-occupied townspeople, secret societies, and mysterious sounds from the forest - are intimately connected to the core conundrum. And what's with the gnomes?
