Zuma's Revenge!


This is where the limited computer time I've had lately has gone. Zuma pretty much started it all (outside of Japan) many years ago - since then I've battled crippling addictions to a whole slew of variants on this game style - some poor, some stellar. The long-awaited sequel is awesome, but I figure this is a good place to list my top three non-Zuma ball-shooting games for anyone who might've missed them.
Sparkle - Badly in need of a sequel.
Karu - Desperately in need of a sequel.
Luxor - Too many damn sequels.
