What is a PRPG, you ask?  It's a puzzle role playing game.  Square Enix and PopCap Games are having a baby together that is due on November 18.  The baby's name is Gyromancer. Their goal was to bring together the crazy addictive casual games and shake it up with RPG elements. 

Watching the video below makes me think that they may have a winner on their hands.  With beautiful graphics (for this type of game), 12 stages, more than 50 monsters to battle and more, expect Gyromancer to demand a lot of your time. 

Square Enix and PopCap Games are preparing to administer a dose of Puzzle Game + RPG goodness to XBLA and PC fans everywhere with the upcoming release of Gyromancer. To celebrate the coming of said momentous event, we’ve compiled a most fancy trailer highlighting several gameplay elements. And, Gyromancer is officially dated at the end of the trailer!
