Game: Puzzle Hero

Combining match-three puzzle solving with a rich fantasy role-playing infrastructure was a stroke of genius that produced one of the most unique and compelling puzzle games in recent memory. I'm talking, of course, about Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords.  Clearly created in Puzzle Quest's image, Puzzle Hero is a much-simplified romp by comparison, whose goal seems to be to dumb down the Puzzle Quest formula for those who may have found the game's Dungeons & Dragons-style game mechanics intimidating.
