GameFocus: "Sony’s Minis brand of games often go unnoticed, be it the weak marketing they get or the stigma of being priced higher than they should be. There are those rare occasions where one really stands out, yet suffers from one or both of the afore-mentioned issues. The latest release under the Minis label is Shift Extended, an extremely simple puzzle game that is quick to learn, offers quite a bit of content, but is hampered by one glaring problem that will ultimately be the reason so many people will not experience it."

Shift Extended is simple, cheap, and almost immediately addicting. But can it stand up to the test of time?

While SHIFT extended’s stark monochrome visuals certainly won’t tax your PS3 and the game screen’s curved edges reveal it’s iPhone origins, there’s a very compelling game here.

The curiously addictive puzzle game, Shift, is on sale this week for $1.99 (that’s 50% off the original price).
