I'm looking for a puzzle sort of game for the Xbox and would particularly love something Live enabled. My wife loved things like Puzzle Fighter, the Popcap games, etc. and i want to find something she could play online to kind of ease her into the idea of playing on Live. I know there is talk of Bust A Move coming out in the future and that would be rad - but is there anything right now?

I did see Tetris Worlds but reviews weren't that great on it. Is it anything like Puzzle Fighter?

The Infinium Phantom promises to come with a version of Bookworm and some other rip-offs of pop-cap games.

Tetris worlds is online and you can get the disc bundled with SW:clone wars for like 10 bucks on ebay. I got a game called Syberia which is a puzzle type game like myst. Maybe give that a try.

Yeah but i heard the Phantom will not allow you to invert your y axis on their games and that just kills the whole system for me


Is Tetris Worlds any different than classic tetris or is it just like the old school link 2 GBAs and play tetris against each other until someone fills up their screen?

Man i wish they would do Puzzle Fighter or something similar.

Tetris World sucks badly. It's nothing like Puzzle Fighter. Sega did release Puyo Pop Fever for Xbox in Japan. This is the game that Puzzle Fighter borrowed its gameplay from, however according to IGN, Sega is only releasing Puyo Pop Fever for Gamecube in the U.S.

I believe there was a game called Super Bubble Pop which I heard was similar to Puzzle Bobble/Bust A Move/Placer Racer.

Other than that I can't seem to think of any other puzzle games. You could try Midway Arcades Treasures which has Klax in it.

Yeah i have Midway Arcade Treasures as well and we both play it a decent amount. I was just hoping there was something puzzly she could play on Xbox Live to kind of get her into the groove of it as well.

While it is not around yet, Xbox Live Arcade looks like it will have some of Pop Cap's games this Fall. The info so far mentions Bejeweled, but I would assume others will be included.

Wasn't there a egg puzzle game a while back???

edit: found it!
IT's called Egg Mania.

The funny thing is when I played with the Phantom, I was playing Unreal 2004 and they had it inverted, so I only played for 5 seconds before throwing the keyboard mouse thing on the couch and walking away.

See the whole world is against you. Maybe this is a sign you should reconsider any plans you had for picking up a Phantom at launch!

Although it's not out yet, "Mortal Kombat: Deception" has a puzzle mini-game.

Mojo! $9.99 too!

What is Mojo? I looked on ebgames.com and didn't see a listing other than GBA Powerpuff Girls games.

while it's not a puzzle game, she might like trivial pursuit. it's on live as well. it's pretty fun
