Puzzle games with blocks falling from the top of the screen have been a dime-a-dozen since Tetris emerged from behind the Iron Curtain in the late 1980s. Being able to stand out amongst that crowd is a challenging task, but Lumines, the trippy PSP launch title from the mind of Rez creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, has made a name for itself by being both creative and addictive. Since it hit the scene in 2005, the game has been ported to several different platforms, but its latest iteration, Lumines Electronic Symphony, has landed on the PlayStation Vita as a launch title, and is looking to win over the hearts and minds of gamers on the go all over again.

You're Ubisoft and you've got the license to a globally beloved comic getting the big budget 3D mo-cap treatment from Steven Spielberg (with Peter Jackson in tow), so what do you do?

A. Immerse gamers in a globe-trotting adventure with new and innovative gameplay?

B. Graft the property onto an existing, successful gameplay your company has used of late?

C. Make a rudimentary, uninspired platformer with only a tenuous connection to the movie, barely-there presentation, and gameplay that features cut and paste levels and enemy encounters?

Well, I know which one I wouldn't choose.
