Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords coming to iPhone, iPod Touch

Puzzle QuestJust when you thought a game was everywhere, you learn that it still has one more front to conquer. I’m speaking, of course, of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. Previously, the puzzle/role playing game invaded cell phones, every major video game console (PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360), every handheld system (DS and PSP) and computers (Mac and PC). Now, TransGaming Inc. has announced that it is adapting Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

An actual launch date hasn’t been announced, but TransGaming is working with D3Publisher and hoping to have Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords up in the iTunes App Store before the end of Fall 2008. A price also hasn’t been set, and no rating has been assigned. Previous versions of the game were rated Everyone 10+, so the iPhone/iPod Touch version will probably carry a similar rating.

I tend to agree with Kotaku‘s take on this port - its unnecessary. When I first played Puzzle Quest on my DS, I loved it and wondered if it was even possible to play too much Puzzle Quest. Now I know that it has gone too far - Puzzle Quest is over-exposed. If there is someone out there who doesn’t have access to a cell phone, handheld or console system that is capable of playing Puzzle Quest, then this is great news. The rest of us will let out a resounding, “Meh.”
