2248

After a good chunk of time dedicated to 2248, I must say it's a wicked brain teaser for those who think they've got the math-y calling down in their heads. The idea is simple but addictive, merge the tiles to reach the goal number of 2248. It’s a little like baking a complicated dessert, requiring the correct components (numbers) in the proper sequence. And, like in baking, patience and strategy are crucial.

The game promises to be an awesome puzzle game that forces players to use logic and maths-solving skills and it really does not disappoint. Mixed in with victories and head-scratchers along the way to 2248. From the site comments, though, the game seems to be hit or miss on loading, but once it gets rolling, it really takes off. What really stood out for me was the ability to save scores on just-play123, bringing a degree of competition to the table. It’s like saying to friends, “Top that!” without actually saying it. And really, who doesn’t love a little friendly competition?

Pros: A mental workout in a fun, digital package. And the score-saving feature adds competitiveness. Strong>Cons: Some players may consider the tile-combining somewhat repetitive with time, and there’ve been occasional hiccups in loading the game. Still, these are minor blips in an otherwise pleasurable experience. Oh, and here's something to chew on -- if 2248 was a time, would you be late, early or just real, real confused? Because I’d be the latter, attempting to work it, not looking at my watch!
