Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords was a groundbreaking blend of gem-swapping and role-playing, where you played a heroic adventurer who battled baddies via match-3 showdowns. Puzzle Quest 2, retains the fantasy setting but slims the gameplay down quite substantially. Whether or not you think it's an improvement depends on whether you prefer the epic RPG feel of Puzzle Quest or the lighter hack n' slash vibe of its sequel.
Puzzle Quest 2, the sequel to Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, was announced for the Nintendo DS and Xbox Live Arcade platforms back in March, but we've just learned that the game is coming to the PC this summer as well courtesy of Namco Networks.
