Game: Magic Ball 4

Fans of "brick breaking" arcade games popularized in the '80s - such as Arkanoid and Breakout - might get a nostalgic kick out of Alawar's new downloadable digital diversion. Magic Ball 4 is the latest in the publisher's two million unit-selling series - and while it's not too different than its predecessors, it proves to be a fun take on the classic formula.First, the story. Oh yes, there is, um, a story with this ball-breaking game. As luck would have it, aliens have entered our dimension and kidnapped thousands of humans. Your job is to return them all to our world by touching them with the Magic Ball of Relativity. If your aim is good, you can advance through the various levels and bring everyone (and everything) back home.
