Cubed

So, you think you're pretty smart, huh? do ya, punk?  Well I'm about to prove you wrong.  Ready for it?

Cubed.

This game is pretty easy to explain: It's Tetris on steroids.  The premise is simple:  place Tetris bricks anywhere on a Cartesian grid to try and form 3x3 blocks.  Once you form a 3x3 (or larger) block, it will disappear.  The goal is to form those blocks using pre-placed "bug" blocks.  Once you get rid of all the bugs, you win.

As the brief intro alluded to, this game is tough with a capital "WTF."  I've never been the best at puzzle games, but I can usually hold my own against anything less challenging than a rubik's cube.  Cubed, however, put me right in my place.  And that's just in the 2D game.  This game also comes with a 3D mode, which I won't even begin to describe.  Try and survive that one.  I dare you.

Surprisingly enough, that's all I have to say about this game.  The only outstanding feature is the challenge, but you know what?  That's enough for me.  All a game really has to do to earn my seal of approval is accomplish what it appears to set out to do.  This game seems to have been made for the purpose of delivering a quick, fun challenge.  It certainly does that, so this game gets my seal of approval

Until next time, stay crafty
