Well I e-mailed them last night so hopefully I'll get a reply soon

I don't mind if it's not coming, but I'd rather know so that I can get another copy ordered! No money's been taken, so I'm expecting that to be the case.

You could always just order it from somewhere else, then when the other one comes return it.

Well, I sent one this morning, hoping I'd get a quick-ish reply, but seeing as they haven't replied to the one you sent last night yet, I might have to wait a bit longer!

And it would be easier to cancel than to return it if it eventually arrives, because they won't refund your postage. But if I can get it at £10 without going down the eBay root, I will hang on to see what's going on.

I read reviews on this and both GameSpot & IGN rated it very highly for fun, addictive gameplay. I might just pick this up eventually

Well they've taken my £10, but no dispatch email yet. Also, the My Account feature isn't working so I can't check the details.

I like the sound of that deal - buy Picross and get a free 360......

I shall content myself with the brief download via the Wii until payday.



God appeared to have reacted badly to Bede's prayer for electricity to charge his DS

Well I've just had a pretty decent go at it so I thought I'd post up some first impressions!

Basically if you liked the Demo, then you can't go wrong It's a brilliant little puzzler that is very addictive and can be quite tough also! There's several modes that you can try out.
There's the standard picross mode that has tons of puzzles in separated into 3 different difficulties. There's also a Daily Picross mode where you can just pick up the DS and go straight into a random puzzle, trying to get the fastest time possible.

There's also a very extensive online mode which is separated into 2 parts. Online Battles and Community. In the Battle mode, you are paired together against another player and the person who solves the puzzle quickest wins! All your stats are kept included games played, games won, and current streak. I played 3 games online and was soundly beaten every time! So a bit more practice is needed here! You also have to option to play friends, with the standard friend codes being the source.

The Community side of the online is what will keep this game in your DS for a long time to come! One of the modes offline allows you to create your own puzzles and it's in the community section that you can share these with the rest of the Picross Players! And obviously you can download new ones for yourself to play as well This means that there's a pretty much infinite amount of puzzles to this game to keep you entertained.

I can tell already that it's going to be easily worth the £10 I paid for it and I'd encourage everyone to try the demo on the Nintendo channel and if you like that, pick it up

Btw I've added my code to the DS Repository and added Boosey's code!
