This past year has produced some of the best games in a long time. I just wish that some other more casual games, namely Peggle and Puzzle Quest, received more attention.

This is why I was so excited when I heard that Puzzle Quest is getting a sequel.

Revealed in a press release from D3, the exact quote is: “The company will also be releasing video games based on Aardman’s popular Shaun the Sheep character in 2008, alongside the eagerly-awaited follow-ups to the best-selling Ben 10 and Puzzle Quest.”

This news makes me hopeful that Puzzle Quest 2 will get the wide spread success and critical acclaim that its predecessor deserved.

(In other news, Summa just creamed his pants).
