Puzzle Pirates Reviewed

Posted by Zonk on from the days-of-grog-and-booty dept.

Gamespot has up a review of Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates, examining the game now that it has seen commercial launch in stores. From the article: "Massively multiplayer online puzzle game. Those are the only possible terms you can use to properly describe Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates, one of the weirdest and most original puzzle games we've come across in quite a while."

    Zonk is getting good $$$ everytime he mentions the program. I said that in the last post. I'm waiting for him to post a "9.5 out of 10" Slashdot review of the program.

    Is there a way to filter his submissions off the front page?

      Yup. The same way the oldtimers ducked Jon Katz and michael the asshat: go to Preferences, click Homepage, then unclick the editors you don't want.

    Puzzle Pirates itself is not Open Source. The Narya toolkit used to create it is. This is an important distinction. While you could potentially recreate Puzzle Pirates from the OSS tools, it's not the same as downloading and compiling something off, say SourceForge. Of course, lots of people have created other games with the toolkit.
