PC Game Review Puzzle Pirates

http://www.puzzlepirates.com/

Puzzle Pirates is a free down loadable massively multi player puzzle based video game. The piracy on the high seas concept is played to the hilt and even players are prone to using "piratey' language during game play.

As a player you controll a pirate with a customizable appearance. You will be given a modest home and some rags to wear. As you play the game you may take ship based jobs sailing, bilging, navigating, or more. Each job is a unique puzzle that earns a modest amount of currency called Pieces of Eight (PoE) this currency is combined with another called Dubloons that you can buy with real world cash or a slew of PoE. As the PoE & dubloons start to roll in your options begin to expand, buy some clothing, build a house, by a labor badge that unlocks land lubber puzzles.

Pros. Free! There are a very variety of puzzles to play. You can play solo by sailing with the navy or you can take up challenges with a crew. The rewards for earning currency are quite nice as badges unlock more games, and ships allow you to lead your own pillages

Cons. Puzzles can get interrupted by status reports. Simple but cute graphics may turn off hardcore gamers.

The Bottom Line: Do you like puzzle games? If so you'll be needing this game ya scurvy dog! 4/5
