Rubik’s World Still A Mystery

9:40AM Michael McWhertor | We got our first glimpse of Rubik’s World earlier this month, pitched as an “otherworldly game [that] will look and play like no other game on the market”, a “collection of extremely addictive, easy-to-play puzzle games will increase in difficulty as the player delves deeper into this 3D world.” Great! So… how does it play? Not a clue. Perhaps figuring out exactly what Rubik’s World is is the first challenge that will “change your intellect.” Yes, change your intellect.

Step Inside The World Of Rubik’s Cube

12:40AM Mike Fahey | It’s been 25 long years since the Rubik’s cube graced a game console, and 1983’s Rubik’s Cube for the Atari 2600 hardly did the little puzzle justice. Now the Game Factory and developer Two Tribes is getting a chance at solving the Rubik’s video game puzzle with Rubik’s World for the Nintendo DS and Wii. The game will invite players to step inside the cube to experience a collection of puzzle games based around Cube concepts, with both versions containing their own unique lineup of mini-games, from assembling 3D objects to navigating mazes. The Wii version will support four players at once and features an online message board, while the DS version will utilise the wireless connection to connect to a community for the game. I’d assume that somewhere in there they’ll include an actual Rubik’s cube for you to solve, hopefully allowing for my two favourite solving methods – sticker swapping and violent disassembly. We’ll find out this Spring!
