Gamasutra. I think you know the site. They've compiled their top ten of the best games for the year, and making the list is none other than Infinite Interactive's little gem, Puzzle Quest. There are some pretty big making that list, so it's great to see a locally developed game acknowledged along the likes of Super Mario Galaxy, Rock Band, and The Legend of Zelda...
One of the quietest hits of the year, Puzzle Quest's industry importance was felt in a number of ways, from truly establishing the Western presence of its publisher, D3, to receiving one of the most successful word of mouth campaigns in 2007, and managing a staggering number of multiplatform releases for such a small developer, through smart external partnerships.
