Puzzle Agent was a bit of a hit with us last year even though it was a little too short. Fans need not fear though as the next instalment, cunningly titled Puzzle Agent 2, is set to be released on June 30.
Puzzle Agent 2 sets out to build upon its older brother’s success by offering more rewarding puzzles based on the feedback from fans. The game will pick up after FBI Agent Nelson Tethers ‘solved’ the Scoggins Eraser Factory case — things get much murkier. Tethers has to go rogue and ventures back to the town of Scoggins, Minnesota in order to solve the biggest case of his career so far. Hopefully this will also mean a longer experience!
To celebrate the impending release of Puzzle Agent 2, the original title is on sale with the iPad version priced at $2.99 and the iPhone version priced at $0.99 until June 14.
Hopefully that’ll keep many puzzle fans busy until June 30 when Puzzle Agent 2 hits the App Store.
Check out the video and screenshot gallery below to whet the appetite ready for the game.

Weather Pro is one of many, many apps iOS users can depend on to plan their activities throughout the day/week/month. Assuming those activities can be impeded by rain, snow, wind, humidity or temperature that is. As one of many cogs in the great machine that is Meteorology, it has to do a few very specific things right in order to succeed. Well it does those things and more, but unless users fall into a fairly specific demographic it’ll probably seem like “too much for too little.”
There’s no obligation to create a Premium account and no ad-removal (because there are none to begin with), but for a nominal subscription fee users can unlock even more features. These include hourly updates as opposed to the regular three hour intervals, fourteen day forecasts instead of seven, more extensive radar options and special weather info meant specifically for skiing. All nice things to have, but as someone who doesn’t ski and can live without watching colored blobs move across a map I’m more than content with the standard version. Thankfully, as I’ve said, there’s no obligation to upgrade. It exists purely as an option for those who would get some serious mileage out of it.
As great as it is to know the weather and temperature, especially what the temperature feels like since summer seems determined to destroy the human race, Weather Pro doesn’t offer anything iOS users can’t get elsewhere for less. With the exception of an entire series of weather reports based around skiing, lots of other apps do the same thing. Some of them are even free. I suppose there might be more of a draw for European users, but seeing as I don’t live in that region I don’t have a basis for comparison. All I can compare it to is the US App Store, and in the US App Store I can use a free app to give me all of this plus “right-now” weather reports and extreme weather advisories.
Imagine that, a game that has a name that resembles “Brothers In Arms”, would end up being a military shooter. Pulling on the same same comradery heartstrings, Gameloft’s recently announced first person shooter March of Heroes is a very much cast from a similar mold. What sets this shooter apart from the many others on the iOS platform is the use of the Unreal Engine. That’s right folks, the same guts that power Gears of War will breathe life into this title.
Throughout the action, players will be prompted to temporarily part ways with the traditional artillery action, in favor of brief quicktime sequences. Though they amount to nothing more than glorified finger slides, these are very helpful in breaking up the monotony of perpetually blowing cannon fodder to smithereens.
For example, IntelliShop’s most distinguishing feature is it’s native ability to facilitate 
IntelliShop expects to have multiple prices at multiple locations entered for a single item. This represents the core of the price comparison functionality that distinguishes this app from its competitors. Just like in the 3-ring binder version of the system, item prices can be gathered from weekly store fliers, shopping receipts or directly from the shelves. Unfortunately, in order to make the price comparison approach work, it’s essential to also note the date that a given price is recorded, in order to spot patterns and seasonal trends. IntelliShop doesn’t offer this option, unless the free text Note field is used as a workaround. The “add price and retailer” workflow suffers from the same awkwardness as the “add item” function described above. I ended up entering the prices for all my items from my receipt after the shopping trip.
When using the app in the store, items are checked off as they are placed in the cart. The list view panel has a handy view remaining option, which hides checked items. Once a list is completed, and after the prices for all the items are entered, a list can be “processed” and archived, which populates the “statistics” screen. IntelliShop provides data on its users’ shopping habits, including most and least expensive items, average item prices, and total amount spent. The developer claims that users can see how much could have been saved if items were purchased at their lowest price, but since this doesn’t reflect most people’s reality I doubt this data is very practical. Lists that have been processed are effectively deleted from the program and can not be retrieved, so they can’t be referred back to or copied as a basis for another list.
Has the eighteenth century been mutilated and mined by developers until the cows come home? The simple answer to this question is an emphatic, “Heck no!” So it really makes perfect sense for teams to dig into this rich mine of exploitable historical content. Imagine a parallel universe where the worlds of Assassin’s Creed and the Revolutionary War bled together. Though the concept may sound utterly absurd to those that are not used to GameLoft’s extensive work on the iOS front, this odd combination, though completely ridiculous, actually manages to work fairly well. So lace up your boots and start loading your musket, because things might get a little crazy.
Taking place in a series of fully rendered cities, again harkening back to it’s console inspiration, as well as a couple more scenic locals, players will have the option to run, jump and climb their way across the skyline, while making small steps towards reclaiming what was once yours. When you couple this with GameLoft’s extensive track record of producing quality voiceovers and visually polished content, you may be looking at a match made in the eighteenth century heaven. Keep it locked here for more exclusive details as they become available closer to the game’s official release.
