Jesus. This is more addictive than Tetris. At first it seems easier, too, and it is, but once things get out of control they get out of control fast.
Now I want to pick this up for the PS2, as well, and it makes me wonder if the Wii has a variation on it.
As most people already know, this is a puzzle game where you have to make a square of the same four colors. Music, which is not my style, plays in the background and interacts with the puzzle (you have to play to understand). You can seriously sit and play this for like a half an hour before it starts to go crazy, but by that point you are so hooked you can't help but continue. In the past three weeks since I've bought this I've played it about a hundred times. I'm convinced it will keep me from getting Alzheimer's or something. I am also getting all the sequels ASAP.
I had been cutting back on video games for a while, instead using the time to work on my manuscript. After trying this out, though, it became a great way to clear my mind between writing sessions. It is not ideal before bed, as is often the case with any video game.
And now, time for yet another session ... until a new one comes along.
