When I first saw an update for a new PSP game called Cube, I got scared. Was it a game adaptation of the film "Cube," one of the worst films I have ever seen? Thankfully, no. It's a new puzzle game from D3 Publisher. While the PSP is certainly not lacking in the puzzle genre, Cube deserves a bit of attention due to it being of the few games to take advantage of PSP's unique capabilities. Firstly, the game includes a level editor, allowing you to upload and download new content from other Cube owners. More excitingly, the game also features Game Sharing multiplayer, allowing gamers with just one copy of the game to go head to head. The lack of complexity in the graphics and presentation probably makes it possible for Game Sharing to work, and to be honest, I'm excited that it does. It's hard enough to find a PSP owner to play against; Game Sharing will make it infinitely easier to go head-to-head with a person next to you. Expect more updates as the game's February release gets closer.

Cube, one of the worst films you've seen? Are you mad? Arguably the sequel wasn't that good, and the prequel wasn't much better, but the original, for concept alone...
Anywho, the game does look interesting.

The final version of Cube will feature nine different zones of more than a dozen levels apiece, giving players a tally of 135 challenges to clomp on through.

Stop hating on the Cube! Yes the acting was bad and the ending was a little sketchy but the concept!? I think it was great.
And I don't really think that the PSP needs more puzzle games. It needs more games like Portable Ops and such.

The cube movie was terrible. It's up there with Judge Dred. But the Cube game looks intriguing. I'm always down to kill some time.

Whoa whoa! Cube the movie was que-horrible! It's up there (down there) with Judge Dred!!
Cube game on the other hand looks legit. Finally a puzzle game without the distractions of lame background stories.
