Puzzle Games

Puzzle games are one of the most popular genres of video games. The usually straightforward game design is typically easy to understand, but often tough to master! You can enjoy replaying puzzle games again and again as you attempt to better your scores or times. Available on a wide variety of platforms, from handheld devices including mobile phones to online gaming sites to mainstream consoles, puzzle games appeal to seasoned gamers and newer gamers alike with their simple yet challenging play.

Puzzle Game Block Busters

One of the most popular of all puzzle games is Tetris in which players arrange colored blocks to keep them from filling the play area. Electronic Arts offers a version of this beloved classic updated for the iPod and iPod Touch that lets you take on 15 levels using unique touch screen exclusive controls.

Another critically acclaimed puzzle game from EA and developed with Steven Spielberg is BOOM BLOX. In this Blox-busting extravaganza, players use the innovative controls of the Nintendo Wii to grab, throw, and blast Blox while wreaking havoc in more than 300 levels. BOOM BLOX fans can look forward to BOOM BLOX BASH PARTY in Spring of 2009!

A Different Kind of Puzzle Game

The upcoming title Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is a one-of-a-kind game that combines the action of an adventure game with the strategy of a puzzle game. Played on the Nintendo DS, this quirky and funny game from Electronic Arts features distinct types of gameplay on each screen. Players battle enemies and explore the action-adventure realm on the top screen of the Nintendo DS while also defeating foes and unleashing power-ups in the puzzle realm on the Touch Screen. If the puzzle realm is neglected for too long, the puzzle pieces build up until they reach the action-adventure realm. When this happens, any puzzle enemies are released into the action-adventure realm and must be conquered.

Puzzle Games: A Variety of Flavors

Players looking for an engaging way to test their minds can find an entertaining challenge in the world of puzzle games. Whether you prefer word games like SCRABBLE and crossword puzzles, block-oriented games like Tetris or BOOM BLOX, or the diversity of Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure, EA offers a wide variety of puzzle games to suit every taste.
