D3 came by the TeamXbox offices recently to show us the latest on its Puzzle Quest sequel, subtitled Galactrix. The XBLA title builds off the addictive gameplay concepts that were at the heart of last year's Challenge of the Warlords, but puts some fresh spins on it as well, so that the new game is familiar and fresh at the same time.

Hardcore Gamer: The Puzzle Quest games have been big hits in the digital era and have breathed new life into puzzle games by applying some RPG gameplay mechanics to the genre. Now, instead of spending $10 for the Galactrix and Challenge of the Warlords entries, you can get them both for only $1 each.

In this second of four parts, we discuss how games based purely on luck are little more than immoral cash cows for the people who produce them - and represent some of the worst design choices out there.

In this episode the guys talk about Quantum Conundrum, DayZ, Rainbow Moon, Heroes of Ruin, SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance, Sushi Castle, About To Blow Up Part 1, Wushi, Grand Slam Tennis 2, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, some news and plenty more.
