Triverse writes, "Hexic Rush is an updated version of the original puzzle game, Hexic, that has been available on most mobile phones and Windows PC’s for years. Originally created by Alexey Pajitnov, of Tetris fame, Hexic Rush hides it addictiveness behind a simple looking multi colored screen that beckons the player on."
GPT: "When it comes to puzzle games, there is one name that should be synonymous with the genre, but oddly enough very few gamers know his name. You can blame it on confusing licensing rights or even the Cold War, but whatever the reason is the name Alexey Pajitnov isn’t as recognizable as his creation Tetris. Alexey has continued to make puzzle games since Tetris, but few of his titles have garnered the same attention."
The latest title to be promoted as the Windows Phone 7 ‘Deal of the Week’ on the Zune Marketplace, Hexic Rush, is now available at a reduced price. Players can now enjoy Hexic Rush, a newly designed speed-based approach to the classic Hexic game, for only £1.99.
WpCentral - Hexic is one of those arcade-style pattern-matching puzzle games that could be considered a Tetris spin-off. This type of game is extremely well suited to a mobile platform like Windows Phone 7, because the game can be easily controlled by using the touch-screen. Hexic Rush is one of the inaugural Xbox Live games on Windows Phone 7 created by Microsoft Game Studios, and therefore it has something of a high standard to meet as one of the games that is intended to introduce Windows Phone as a gaming platform.
