Puzzle Arcade Game Review–The Strangest Game You’ll Ever Love
You’d never think that jigsaw puzzles could make for good console gaming, but the sheer fact that Puzzle Arcade exists on Xbox Live Arcade is all the proof anyone could need. And you too can experience this proof for eight hundred Microsoft points.
Basically, I’ve already given you the plot–you’ll have a series of jigsaw puzzles to assemble all on your TV screen using your Xbox 360 controller, a concept that I had thought would be boring but turns out to be at least somewhat entertaining. Between that and the music, it’s one of those excellent kind of “chill games” that you can sit down to with a hot cup of tea after a long day and just unwind with, slapping puzzles together, and without having to keep a whole bunch of cardboard boxes in your hall closet and find some decent smooth jazz.
It’s a very niche title, and definitely not for everybody, but if you can appreciate a game that’ll calm you down just as much as it’ll pick you up, then you’ll definitely enjoy a round of Puzzle Arcade.

First Saw teaser trailer points to Konami Gamer’s Night
We just recently learned that a game based on the Saw series was actually in the works and slated for a Fall release. Shortly after that announcement Zombie Studios released the first teaser trailer featuring the game.
You will recognize Jigsaw in the teaser if you watched any of the Saw movies with his mockingly quiet voice and uncanny knack for playing games that involves potentially killing someone. The teaser does a good job showcasing the game’s graphics and gives a general lowdown on what you can expect in terms of gameplay.
However, Jigsaw finishes off the trailer inviting you to “join him at Konami’s Gamer’s Night” which goes down April 9th.
