WWG Casual PC Gamer

Between life’s sometimes hectic happenings, and pursuits beyond the computer… there have been a couple of new games released (see below) that I haven’t had the opportunity to try yet. I’ve been busy riding the motorcycle, going to see Hellboy2 (loved it!), and hangin’ out with my girls when I’m not busy working or playing Puzzle Hero. I’ve discovered that Puzzle Hero is a lot easier if you “level up” your character in the arcade before continuing in the Quest mode.

“Leveling up” means that you fight in the arena to gain experience points and gold. Experience points will add levels to your character, which increases the amount of damage you do per hit. The gold will allow you to upgrade your weapons and armor, to better prepare you for the more difficult fights coming along the way in the quest mode.

I’ve come to consider Puzzle Hero as an easier, more user friendly version of Puzzle Quest… more suited for kids, if they’re interested in playing such a game. When I finish this second time through Puzzle Hero, I’m going to go back to Puzzle Quest to see if I can finish it this time… last time I had a character all built up in that one, I had to reformat and lost it all. I’ve got an external drive now though, so there will be no more losing my characters lol!

The games below have been released while I’ve been lost in questing:
