Quantum Conundrum is now out on the PlayStation Network and if you’re a true fan of puzzle games, you’ve probably reached the dramatic ending at this point. If that’s the case and you still want more first-person, puzzling madness, we have some great news for you directly from the mouth of Mr. Square Enix.
The PSNFancast is back in your life, and Chris Hague, Angelo Valdivia and Josiah Renaudin have plenty of catching up to do. The crew opens with both what’s coming out this week on PSN and what they missed last week. The wonders of football, why there shouldn’t be any new Frogger games, the awful release of Bellator and the wonderfully violent The Walking Dead are all discussed, as well as all the serious gaming everyone has been doing over the past two weeks. Angelo puts on his news hat and covers the few recent, PSN-related happenings, which leads to a lengthy discussion on why Sony’s purchase of Gaikai could be a really great thing for the next generation of consoles. Lastly, the group attempts to find a solution for episodic gaming on consoles, which as you’d guess, leads to even more conversation on The Walking Dead.

The puzzle that was Quantum Conundrum’s release date has officially been solved, as it’s no longer just a game with a projected launch of sometime in “2012″. Kim Swift, former lead designer on Valve’s Portal, and Airtight Games’ first-person puzzler will see life on PSN, XBLA and Steam this summer. Sure, Square Enix may not have supplied an exact date, but a three-month window is better than nothing.
