Gyromancer Comes, Your Life Leaves: November 18th

D3’s Puzzle Quest was addicting as all hell; slapping a lite-RPG skin over Bejeweled had to be a stroke of genius on the level of the first person to mix chocolate and peanut butter or hookers and blow. How do you top a formula that neared perfection on its first try?

You hand it over to Square Enix and PopCap. And have them add a dash of Pokemon to the mix.

Seriously – that’s pretty much exactly what Gyromancer looks to be. Another RPG-atop-Bejeweled (only with better visuals and higher production values) alongside monster/card collection and levelling.

We give! Uncle! Uncle! Good lord – are you trying to kill us? You had us at “prettier Puzzle Quest clone” – you don’t have to go and make it worse. Do you know how many hours of life we lost due to Puzzle Quest? How many relationships were shattered? Do you know what it’s like to feel your life slide into ruins because you see nothing but giant rats and sliding gems in your sleep?!? DO YOU?!!?

…Sorry about that. Anyway, where were we?

Oh, yes – Gyromancer is coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PC on November 18th. You have a week and a half left to prepare. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
