LUXOR Pharaoh's Challenge Review

I can't figure out why that other reviewer gave this game three stars.It's a great game.

I was impressed with how well this translated to the "small screen."The images are crisp and clear, the controls are highly responsive (lag time would kill you on this game), and it is generally an entertaining time-waster.If you're thinking of getting it for a child, understand that there is really no educational value, although I think it encourages cognitive planning.My 7-year-old, who loves the Luxor computer games, is crazy for this one.She is able to play it without the frustration she has experienced with many popular children's DS titles (i.e. the ones with teenage TV personalities on the cover).She figured out the controls without my help, and I didn't hear from her for at least 20 minutes, except, "I'm on level 4!."I enjoy it, as well.

True, it is not terribly different from the computer version.I consider that a positive.We were expecting the Luxor we know and love, which is what we got.If you are interested in a "test drive," go to the Gamehouse website and download the 60-minute trial of one of the computer Luxor games.That should give you enough of a taste to decide if you will like this.The Luxor versions for the computer are the same basic idea as this:shooting marbles at a marble "snake" to make the snake disappear before it gets to the end of the track.

Zuma (Jewel Case) Review

This is a highly addictive, relaxing way to pass time or just relax.
But first impressions of this game are deceiving.It seems like a simplistic, straight forward skill shot game.If you play it this way it will take you forever to conquer it.I was lucky enough to have my computer crash.When I started out the second time around - applying the knowledge I had gained - it made a huge difference.So here are the SPOILERS:

1.Try to see how long you can make the game last on the first round of each level.The game records your first score at each level and you get more points - and lives - if you did really poorly the first round.

2.Set yourself up for combos.

3.Get used to swapping the color balls.Look on the back of the frog to see what color is next and swap when necessary.
You'll need the extra lives to make it through the really hard puzzles.
