Zuma - 400 MSP 200 MSPVibrantly colored stones spiral relentlessly toward the gaping jaws of a cursed gold skull. Fire stones from the frog idol’s mouth to create a chain of three or more like-colored stones and make the string disappear. Clear the temple of all the stones before they are devoured. Some balls send the stones rolling backwards, others slow the pace, and still others help guide your aim. Coins, combos, gap shots and Ace Times can earn you bonus points. Advance through the 13 increasingly difficult levels in Adventure mode. Success there unlocks additional levels in Gauntlet mode, where the stones never stop coming, and you must stay alive as long as you can.

I'm quite busy on the XBLA front with Trials HD, Doritos thing, Splosion Man and then Warriors of Rock and RDR on the retail front.

Miss on all of these for me.

Been wanting Bejeweled for a while now. Maybe its time i bought it, if i did it would leave me short of points for X-Men Arcade when its released though :( What a dilemma!!

dr octagon 3000 said:is that tetris awesome? perhaps i should try it, I dont think i heard of that b4 somehow ... all about pinball FX2 rite now... so fun!It's Tetris with an underwater theme. Like the more modern Tetris games, it includes stuff like the T-Spin which you wouldn't have found in the original. I love Tetris, so I picked this up and don't regret it, but it doesn't really bring anything new to the table.

Though if you get it and want to knock out some of those online achievements, feel free to let me know. :)

Might pick up Bejeweled. Is Feeding Frenzy worth it? I hear it's a fairly easy complete, but is it any fun?

Tetris splash still has a very active online community for anyone that is interested. If anyone is in need of a beatdown in splash, let me know. I will pummel you.

Well, I need online achievements, but I don't get pummeled at Tetris... ever.

I kid. :) I downloaded the game back when I was REALLY wary about playing online. Just might have to dive in and see if I can get some the online stuff done.

(Oh, look, I inadvertently used "Dive in" for a game with a water theme. I'm either unintentionally punny or seriously lacking caffeine this morning!)

Ahhhhhh Zuma... I wish that I'd never played it - and still had it to play! Anyone who hasn't bought it yet should definitely pick it up now since it was a steal at 400!
