Top Puzzle Game?

[Necromancer]

Sini had a similar poll a couple years ago, but it's time for an update.  Plus, we need something to talk about 'round here.

My votes (in order) are for Hatris, Panic Bomber, and Implode.  What's your favorite(s)?

[Arkhan]

Why does Implode count as a falling bricks style one?

Its a match-3 game?

I like Puyo the most.  I play that shit constantly.

I voted for both the Puyos and Panic Bomber. None of the others even rate, IMO. Even Panic Bomber was a bit of a sympathy vote, its not that great.

Puyo Puyo Tsu is tied with Super Puzzle Fighter IIX IMHO for best versus puzzle game ever, Saturn versions, of course. Tetris Attack (SNES) comes second.

There is always Tetris (GB), which has a zen like perfection you just can't beat, but its not so great versus.

Panic Bomber FTW!  Its actually one of my favorite games on the system period.  Love me some Panic Bomber!!

Implode, Panic Bomber, Puyo Puyo, not necessarily in that order.

[Tatsujin]

is implode really that funny? just curious since i never have played it.

my votes go for:

fuzznic
puyopuyo cd
and if you count in teh bazzy as a puzzler as well, that would be the ne plus ultra!!

I voted for Columns, Implode, and Panic Bomber (not in any particular order.) Columns is a definite classic for me; I love the music on it. Implode is just strange and addicting for me, lol. Panic Bomber is really just lots of fun.

Funny? Not really... fun? Yeah.

Implode is simple, like Tetris on the Gameboy. Also, like Tetris on the Gameboy has that "zen like" quality Zeta alluded to.

Here's my two cents on Implode.

LOL, yeah FUN. Have to get me one some day

I consider it one - you just control the pile instead of the blocks as they fall... er, rise up from below.

Bazaru's great, but not a falling brick puzzler.  Have you beaten it?  I'm stuck on the last level of the pyramids.

Definitely had to go with Puyo Puyo, Ryukyu, and Spin Pair.  I might've voted for Puyo Puyo II but I don't have it- so I don't know. 
The other games here that I have are Hatris (I actually enjoy that one), Klax (f*cking terrible), Panic Bomber (3+ multi player modes are such shit- you can hardly make anything out), and Implode (never played it).
Puyo Puyo is by far the most fun-
Ryukyu is by far the most involving for my money-
and Spin Pair I had a good deal of fun with- and I must've liked it enough to beat the damn thing in story mode (last battle vs. the Black Wizard).

EDIT- I really feel Ryukyu is the unsung hero here- I'm the only one who voted for it?

[hoobs88]

I've only played 3 of the puzzle games on your list (Panic Bomber, Implode, and Klax).

Tetris Attack is my all time favorite puzzle game followed by Bust-A-Move. When I am at Dave & Buster's, i enjoy playing Chip Away too.

[Arkhan]

Klax is mental.  I hate the game, and the title screen.

EDIT- I really feel Ryukyu is the unsung hero here- I'm the only one who voted for it?

I don't like poker/card stuff all that much.  Though if you like that crap you might like this game called Jonker my friend made.  Its like mahjong and poker.

I thought this was about brick/dropping games though.  Why are we talking about Implode?  Don't get me wrong here, Implodes good.  But if we're including it we might as well include every puzzle game on PCE

[Sinistron]

Is Implode not a falling brick where the bricks go upward instead of down?  Flip your screen over- it's a falling brick.  Voila.
