As of late, match-3 games seem to be as popular as any other major video game genre. Just recently, Chessa reviewed Jewel Master Egypt, a match-3 game with a twist. Gyromancer also puts a twist on the basic puzzle concept and firmly merges it with the main staples of an RPG.
The puzzle-RPG is coming to XBLA and PC soon.
