Puzzle games are the best genre.

i just started playing the professor layton games

gotta say, they are pretty fun

I am all about puzzle games!

Completed both puzzle quest games.

Used to play meteos all the time.

Currently working my way through the second Mario vs. Donkey Kong game; it's really the only Mario game I've ever liked. I think I am alone in this universe in liking them so much, though!

Played all the Professor Laytons, although they don't usually last me very long; a day or two at most. But I have a bad memory, so I get to replay them often.

Puzzle Agent is pretty fun, but soooo short! It has a fifth of the puzzles of the Layton games.

Actually, one game I am not so fond of is Tetris, as I'm not the most dexterous person. Layton, Puzzle Agent, Mario vs. Donkey Kong et al don't require super quick reflexes.

I want a DS almost exclusively to play the Professor Layton games.

The DS has so many amazing games. I hardly even play many games, and yet I have 40+ for the DS.

Could we count all of the Ace Attorney games as puzzle games? Because I them so much. And Mori managed to track me down a copy of Ghost Trick, which has a lot of puzzle elements and is also a super cute game.

Seriously guys, play Ghost Trick.

I entered the Tetris DS tournament at PAX East

used to think my tetrisin' was pretty decent

and then I played the guy that held the guiness world record

Speed Racer

to be fair he didn't completely crush me

like he was clearly better but I held on for a pretty decent length of time

And no mention of Catherine? Probably the best puzzle game in years. (Also that tournament hype.)

I like Professor Layton because it's on the DS but I am disapointed and quite annoyed there is only one way to solve the puzzles

Yessssssss! Tetris Attack is the best!! Yoshi is my least favorite dude to play as in it though. He's just TOO happy.

I almost did the Tetris DS tournament at PAX Prime, but backed out shortly before it started because I didn't want to wait around just to get crushed.

Love that it's on xbox now

Grabbing that on the xbox was perhaps one of the greatest drunken decisions I have ever made.

I clicked into this thread to post this exact same sentence.

Speaking of Professor Layton: Layton 4 is coming out in October! And it includes a 100-hour Layton RPG from the developers of Dragon Quest IX! And because of mandatory localization or some shit, the RPG isn't going to be in the European release of the game! Hope you EU PAers don't mind importing your DS games.

See how this poor bastard struggles to get 100 points in 8 minutes?
I may have kinda slightly gotten 107000 points in an hour-long trial of speed and luck in this fucking game after playing it non-stop for a month.
And broken my GBA in the process.

Javen

Was just coming in to sing the praise of Puzzle Fighter and its ilk, but I see that's been covered

Staleghoti

Puzzle Fighter is the best puzzle game, I'm sorry but this thread is over

Artreus

There should be a 3D picross 3D for the 3DS

skettios

well, if this is the case for Australia imported copies will probably be in gametraders

VALVEjunkie

I'm so sad that I traded in my copy of meteos, god dammit why did I do that.

megaman ZX, too.

Mustachio Jones

Puzzle Fighter sucks because it isn't colorblind friendly at all. I still somehow manage to be awesome at it after years of Puzzle Pirates, but goddamn if I can't tell the difference between green and yellow.

edit:

I had the same problem on the DS version of Clash of Heroes. I couldn't get past the Haven Inn entry puzzle because of it.

Antimatter

meteos is literally the greatest puzzle game of all time


OF

ALL

TIME

Mr Fuzzbutt

I like puzzle games with actual puzzles.

Pattern recognition games are boring to me.

In terms of Tetris: http://stabyourself.net/nottetris2

I'm sorry.

MrMonroe

My time in Minesweeper is down to one minute, fifty-three seconds

I don't think I can really shave a lot off that unless I start playing without flagging every single mine

that's how the pros roll:

More Catherine livestreaming, just started!

tugga

what happened with that old puzzle game that was sort of in html format (?)

you were presented with a picture and a few clues.. and you had to enter a user name and password to get to the next level

sometimes finding the user name and stuff involved looking into the page source or other wacky things?

Its fairly old i think i found it on linksville here, just forgot the name

Mr Fuzzbutt

notpr0n?

That is a similar one that I was trying to remember the name of but couldn't so I just said notpr0n instead.

Tetrisphere was indeed awesome. Loved those custom levels, like setting it up to have only S and I tetrominoes and seeing who clears it faster.

Also Picross 3D, of course. So glad I found out about that through these forums.

captaink

I can't take Picross 3D out of my DS. I have a zelda game I want to play but I just keep turning it on and playing picross.

Noggin

I suppose we could count Neverhood? I guess it was "Adventure", but it had excellent puzzles.

Light the @Framling signal!

isn't how fast you can beat a game of minesweeper partially dependent on where the bombs got randomly placed

I've been playing 999 because I remember GnT losing their shit over it

this game is japanese as fuck

I liked this game and all, but I think I did it wrong. I played through it 3 times, making completely different choices, and I got a different gruesomely bad ending for each one. ARE THERE good endings in that thing?
