As an avid gamer for over ten years, Intelligent Qube takes me back to the explosion of videogames seen in the early 90's. Widely popularized due to it being on one of the Playstation's demo discs, Intelligent Qube (IQ) surprised many with its addictive gameplay yet simple controls and premise. The basic idea of the game is that you are a person atop a long grid of squares. a group of cube blocks begin toppling their way towards you from the opposite long end of the grid-plane. You move around and can mark the grid tile you are stepping on. Once marked, the goal is to de-activate the mark when a cube is right on top of it, capturing the cube. Obviously, there are different types of cubes; normal, forbidden, and advantage cubes. Normal are the light-colored cubes that you want to capture. Forbidden cubes are black and should not be captured. Advantage cubes are green and give you a bonus stationary 3x3 grid to blow up at any time in addition to your one marked spot. A simple enough premise that adds up to fun gameplay. A 2-player mode lets a friend join in. Original mode (unlocked after completion of game) allows you to create you own levels (now a popular feature in new games). This game holds up as one of the classics in Puzzle Games. Everyone may not know or remember it, but it is well-regarded in deeper circles and commands a high-price on the web due to limited availability and rarity.Read full review

Been looking for this one in shops and on line cause of its rarity. $40 wasnt bad for a Solid game. Any more would be too expensive. It's a fun puzzler that my sister has been wanting to challenge me on, so I am just glad it works on my ps3.

Complex, fun puzzle games are kind of hard to find. I mean sure you can find mini puzzle games in things like the Resident Evil series or the Castlevania games, but true puzzle games that are complex yet fun are scarce. Intelligent Qube is one of a very rare ilk(No pun intended). It starts off very simple(as all puzzle games should), but from there becomes very complex. The premise is that you have all these blocks coming at you. You mark a tile with X then hit the X button again to absorb the cube on top of that tile. What makes it fun though is the green blocks. You mark and absorb those and there's a green mark on the tile left, and if you hit the triangle button all 9 tiles in a square surrounding the marked tile absorb the cubes in range, and this chain reaction can potentially go on, depending on how many more green blocks are in range. (Just be careful never to absorb the black blocks.) It's a kind of game play that takes some getting used to, and it's a very strange premise, but Intelligent Qube is surprisingly addictive! Not just that, but the musical score is just... epic. The atmosphere is surreal, very dark(literally). The only downside to Intelligent Qube is its rarity. Because of this factor, this game costs an arm and a leg. If you are a puzzle fanatic though or a playstation game collector, you must have Intelligent Qube. Another problem is that due to problems I don't entirely understand, the original developer of this game had a quarrel with Sony and won't let them re-release it on any other platform! So if you're expecting it to come out on the Playstation network or PS3... sorry! (This may or may not be a rumor, those out there in the know let me know if it's really true.)Read full review
