Reaxxion Preview
Alchemy probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think of possible themes to base a wrist-cramping arcade game on.

Haiku Journey Preview
Haiku - a well-aged form of Japanese poetry comprised of short, but sweet three-line stanzas highlighting topics including nature and spiritualism - might not seem like the most intuitive subject to base an engaging videogame on.

LUXOR 2 Review
There are casual games, and then there are juggernauts - titles so popular, awe-inspiring and addictive they literally serve to define entire genres. Case in point: Action-packed puzzler Luxor, which prompted 40 million-plus downloads and sold upwards of 500,000 copies last year on the strength of its addictive ball-blasting, Egyptian-themed play.

How do you improve on one of the hottest casual games of our time?
If you're MumboJumbo - the makers of the incredibly popular Luxor puzzler, which has been downloaded more than 40 million times since its 2005 debut - you create a sequel that's bigger, better and more beautiful.
Luxor 2 is the stellar follow-up to the hit game, due out on October 10 (mark your calendar, kids!).
