SPY-Q has been announced for the Nintendo DS, based on the Fighting Fantasy gamebook. It combines spy missions with classic puzzle solving. It seems interesting enough; as soon as I read the article I thought of real-time puzzle solving that involves large amounts of volatile resources (ie people would be almost like pieces of a chess game in real life). But not enough info has to be given to live up to such expectations, but you can always stay tuned.

Eidos has announced SPY-Q, a brand new puzzle title from Fighting Fantasy gamebook author Ian Livingstone.

SPY-Q is a collaboration between Fighting Fantasy gamebook author Ian Livingstone and award-winning puzzle and game designer Dr. Reiner Knizia. Reiner is an expert in algorithmically generated puzzles and some of his new creations will be found in SPY-Q.

The game will take the player on a series of puzzle-solving spy missions found in 16 international cities, in a race against time to uncover evidence and unlock secrets to track down the evil Dr. Know.

SPY-Q is currently without a release date.
