Ó

As previously reported, D3Publisher of America passes first exam and releases the puzzler PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient for PSP.

Studies have recently shown that games can help increase your reaction time, help teach logic and extend spatial abilities. However all of these great wondrous educational experiences are usually disguised as shooting Nazi's in Return to Castle Wolfenstein or saving Princess Peach in Super Mario 64. However game like Practical Intelligence Quotient, tell a different story, boasting "100 3D puzzles that test gamers' logic, by challenging them to move blocks, pull switches, and avoid obstacles. There are 13 different puzzle types to tease brains, and users can post their "PQs" online and see how they stack against the rest of the world." PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient by Japanese game developer Nowproduction is now on the market and retails for $29.99.

Hmmmm...I do not like the graphics or lack thereof in these screen shots but the description does make this game sound interesting and I definitely would not mind purchasing this game for only $30.

it requires a 2.50 FW upgrade. :(

Those screen shots make the game look rather cheap but I've played the Japanese version and the animation is actually rather fluid and pretty. Definitely a fun puzzle game and worth playing.
