Square Enix have tried to add various elements to the game to keep it interesting, such as an endless mode or various treats that provide bonuses when selected. The problem is it just lacks replay factor. Granted, the first time might have you playing for hours, but once you've become too frustrated with it, you'll most likely never bother with it again. This casual game is cheap and cheerful, plus there's a free demo, but Yosumin! might not be worth it in the long run.
Steam’s deal of the day for September 19th is Yosumin!. Also the sale will end in 24 hours, hence the “deal of the day”, so you have until 1pm EST or 10am PST tomorrow to grab this deal. Below is a description on the game as well as some important information.
This week's "What They've Been Playing" features discussion on Tiger Words PGA Tour 10, Ski-Doo Snowmobile Challenge, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Overlord II, Yosumin!, Kodu Game Lab, and more! They follow that up with some gaming news including Universal winning the rights for an Asteroids film, Sony patenting PS2 emulation for the PS3, and Marvelous Entertainment possibly bringing their games to the X360 and PS3.
Square Enix's puzzle game will grab fans of the genre. This version adds a nice single-player story mode, but ditches the fun multiplayer game on XBLA. If we could mash these two versions together you would have a great puzzle game, but as is Yosumin is just decent.
