Puzzle Pirates Puzzles Previewed
Puzzle Pirates (the boxed version) launches next week across the country, and in preparation Warcry has a rundown on the different games you'll find on the high seas. From the article: "Swordfighting: Swordfighting is the noble art of Pirate combat. Clear blades of the same type to strike blows upon your enemy. Swordfights can range from individual challenges to the great battles between Pirate crews that occur at sea during boarding.

I tried the free trial of the online game last year and loved it. PP is a starge concept for a MMRPG but in practice it works really well. I ended up ditching it when my free trial ran out since it really just sucked away my time, but having a standalone boxed version for casual play is a great idea. An added bonus is that the online game is refreshingly free of 133+ powergamers.
They deserve their success.

Hearts
A card game for four players, similar to the game that comes with Windows. You get points for every hearts card and for the queen of spades. Try to get as few points as possible.
Alchemy
Arrange pipes to rout mixtures of different colors to the correct bottles.
navigating
Arrange falling stars into constelations by rotating three different rings. Kind of hard to explain.
Shipbuilding Build beautiful ships by moving pieces of wood, iron, cloth and ropes into various patterns.
And as many have already stated, this game is by far the greatest MMO(arrrr)PG ever. Mostly because what matters is your skill at the puzzles (which are all of high quality) but also because the great community. Everybody is helpful to new players and there are almost noone who speek l33t.
