Surprisingly good puzzle games

by shinji_rarenai

I love puzzle games. There are ones that are "famous" like Puzzle Quest and Lumines (and obviously Tetris) but I've come across a few gems that I bought just because they were cheap.

Treasure Park

At first, I thought this was a throw-away free game for the PlayStation Vita. Later, I heard an interview with Shuhei Yoshida on the PlayStation Blogcast. He talked about how he posted hints on how to play Treasure Park on the web site. After reading it and wrapping my head around the game, I've found that it's a logic game that actually has some depth to it. I had a 21-in-a-row streak before I blew it. I'm starting over with a streak of one. Yoshida-san has reported had a streak of more than 50 in a row.
