Take a simple matching game, throw a big budget, some 3-D graphics and a thematic twist and you end up with today's featured game.
This game is made to promote LEGOs Knights Kingdom line of products and is called The Scorpion Puzzler. The puzzler part is a concentration style matching game, the scorpion part is that poisonous scorpions are all over the gameboard making timing a factor in making your matches. Getting started is fairly easy, but as you progress you have more and more tiles to match and the scorpions keep getting faster and more numerous. Getting stung by a scorpion will cost you lots of points making advancing in this game a task worthy of a noble knight.
Did we mention that the 3-D graphics and animation in this game are world class? all of the elements in this game add up to make the game much more challenging and fun that other matching puzzlers.
We like this game because it takes a simple game and turns it into an adventure. The real puzzle in this game is why you can't crush the scorpions with your mailed fist without being stung.
