I downloaded and played the Puzzle Quest demo a couple of days ago (and subsequently got Mikey addicted to the game). Unfortunately a full version of the PC game doesn't exist yet (I want online multiplayer bad), so the DS version will have to sate me. Double unfortunately is that a copy of the DS game doesn't exist in the greater Boston area, so I just had to order it online and await it's arrival (3 business days!!!).
The game can be HARD, but it is good and somehow crazy addictive. It is in essence a Bejeweled clone, which could explain its addictive tendencies, but it is different in its competitive play aspects, where you take turns swapping pieces to gain mana, exp, money or do damage to your enemy. You really have to be ware of setting up beneficial moves for your opponent, and at times actively try to lock them out of the mana (colored gems) they need to cast spells on you. It's a very tactical game. The computer kind of cheats, but that's okay. There isn't any penalty for losing a battle, you get experience and money all the same and are able to go at it again (maybe with a bit more luck and better equipment/spells).
