The field of gaming is flooded by games that handle puzzles and mathematical complexities. These games are widely suggested by parents for the growth of their children’s mental abilities. There are many highly complex ones too. These are opted for by people who are more inclined towards reasoning and logical thinking. Zendoku is a game with the functionalities of a puzzle, developed by Zoonami. The game is published by Eidos Interactive for the Nintendos and PSPs.
The history of China and Japan popularly speaks about a mathematical game called Sudoku. This game involves solving of a mathematical puzzle and arriving at the right grid of answers. Zendoku is an innovation on the ancient Sudoku, providing a slight combative experience. The players are supposed to use symbols than the usual numbers. The players also get an option to choose their characters and attack or defend against the opponent. Prior to the stages of attacks, the player should pass through mini games by filling numbers.
The most attractive feature of Zendoku is the theme. There can never be an expectation of such a theme for a refined version of Sudoku. Zendoku maintains a ‘light-hearted martial’ arts theme throughout the game and manages to hold the interest of the user. The real attacking experience of the game includes blowing obstacles away, spin vault handles, blocking punches, etc. The character set used in the game is also exciting. The ranges of characters include ninjas, samurais and much more, with their own story line and special abilities. The reputation of the character could be boosted by defeating progressively stronger opponents.
The Attack box contains a series of attacks to be unlocked by the player upon his progress in the game. The wireless mode in the PSP will enable multi player in Zendoku. The puzzle generator of the game will never run out of puzzles and the outcome is infinite. The well spun storyline of the game, progressive learning curve and the innovative idea will ensure a good standing for Zendoku in the gaming industry. It is an excellent advancement of the addictive Sudoku.

A puzzle game usually does not offer excitement, logic and weirdness at the same time, but the PSP game Crush is an exception. This weird puzzle game is entirely different from almost every other puzzle game to date. It does not directly involve you in solving one puzzle after another. Instead it follows a storyline, and makes you understand the reason behind the creation of each puzzle, before you eventually solve them.
Danny, the game’s main character, is a restless person suffering from insomnia. So, in order to get himself cured, he goes to the Freudian psychologist Dr. Reubens whose cure methodology seems to be a little bit weird. To cure Danny, he creates a device called CRUSH, short for Cognitive Regression Utilizing Psychiatric Heuristics. But eventually Danny points out that it should be named CRUPH and starts his wired journey into his own mind to fix up things and cure his sleeping disorder.
This is the point where you get involved in the game and actually begin to control Danny’s movements. In fact, from this point onwards you are Danny and will be left in a 3D plus 2D abstract platform, where you have to unravel secrets, collect a certain number of Danny’s lost marbles and finally explore the exit to the next level. Unlike other puzzle games, where you are restricted to operating in a fixed environment, Crush (PSP) allows you move around and change the platform from 3D to 2D. This feature makes the game more interesting and challenging, as the type of platform which is suitable for you will depend on the position of the Danny, the camera angle, and the objective. Changing from 3D to 2D, or vice versa, changes the game scenario incredibly, as it creates new options that were hidden beforehand. You have to complete the entire puzzle by changing your surroundings in this manner. So if you want to help Danny find his lost marbles, and like puzzle games, then you could give this one a try.
