While every console or handheld platform ever released has probably had a few puzzle games released for it, truly classic puzzle titles are few and far between. While the past few years have given us such luminaries as WarioWare, Bejeweled, Puyo Pop, and Katamari Damacy, two of the best puzzle games to ever reach handheld systems have come out in the last few months. Lumines was a sleeper hit for the PSP when it launched, and now, a few months later, Meteos arrives on the Nintendo DS. This game, designed by the same people behind Lumines, features the age-old concept of falling blocks and a race against time to clear the screen. In Meteos, though, you're going to have the benefit of the precision of the DS stylus, giving you some abilities that can seem pretty odd when compared to games like Lumines and Tetris, namely the ability to manipulate blocks after they hit the ground and the ability to move them up and down.

GameSpot's Game Guide to Meteos isn't going to make you a master of the game - that only comes with a good amount of practice. We will, however, be able to explain some of the basic and advanced moves that the game has available to it, though, as well as give you some tips on using the various planets and items to your advantage. Enjoy!
