Gaming to Go: Prism: Light the Way

CALAMITY! The light is gone!

In the dark? You aren't the only one. The cute little story sequence at the beginning of Prism: Light the Way speaks of Bulboids, Glowbos, and an even stranger assortment of words, describing some horrific process wherein a star monster is totally crashing an intergallactic party or something. The thread-bare plot in Prism isn't the greatest thing you'll read this week, but the solid puzzle mechanics beneath it sure make the whole thing much easier to bear, especially if you're interested in trying a puzzle game that doesn't involve matching up three or more blocks of the same color.

One look at Prism's interface and accompany soundtrack might make you change your mind, admittedly, but persevere and you'll find a fairly satisfying adventure awaiting. With over 100 different puzzles to conquer and a few additional modes to mix things up a bit, Prism: Light the Way is definitely worth a more in-depth look, so why not come along with this week's edition of Gaming to Go and see if this unknown puzzler will tempt you to lighten your wallet a bit?

Yeah, this is one of the better puzzle games out there. And I actually liked the music. Slightly repetitive, but not never annoying - perfect to groove to for hours. There are still some puzzles I have yet to solve, but I keep it with me for when I know I'll be bored and could use a challenge. I highly recommend this game.

Circuit City has this one on shelves for $12.99. You won't find it online, you may need to look on the end caps or in the discount bin, but most CC locations have a pretty deep stock of this title.

It's great for kids, as the regular puzzle mode has no time limit, so no pressure, and there is a great hint system that works up through level 49 or so.
