Did you know that you can download handheld games now? That’s amazingly convenient! The only inconvenient part of it is finding the right games to buy — and that’s where we come in, with our Portabliss column. In each installment, we’ll tell you about a downloadable game on the iPhone, iPad, Android device, DSi, 3DS, PSP, etc. Today: Pushmo.

I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to address Pushmo. I feel bad thinking that there’s some hypothetical person out there who may not be playing Pushmo yet, simply because Joystiq hasn’t put its seal of approval on it. I’m not being conceited, just worrying that such a thing is possible.

Intelligent Systems’ Pushmo is definitely one of the best games on the 3DS, and one of the best puzzle games released this year. It’s this year’s Picross 3D. And it’s seven dollars.
