![]() ![]() Luxor added to this by giving the player powerups like spears and time stoppers, almost like the powerups in games like Arkanoid. Luxor changed it up a bit where instead of shooting randomly colored balls like Zuma or Magnetica, you’d pull a ball over and shoot it back onto a stack to make combos, clearing groups of balls being pushed by special monsters (Beetles in StoneLoops!). A color matching ball shooter game created by Mitchell Corporation, duplicated by many others, notably PopCap’s Zuma and MumboJumbo’s Luxor.įor those who haven’t played these kind of games, the goal is to shoot balls of a color into a matching color to stack combos for points. Look familiar? Yeah, it’s similar to the Magnetica series of games (or Ballistic/ Puzz Loop, if you prefer). In my excitement and fervor for something free, I didn’t realize what the free game really was. I get home and go through the less-than-interesting set of events, including having to register for GameStop’s Impulse service, and then installed StoneLoops! of Jurassica. (Note from me in 2019: I played Arkham Asylum and thought it was great, but I still haven’t played Die Hard: Vendetta to this day.) ![]() ![]() So I buy a few games at a store just to use up another coupon I had: Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition for PS3, since I had heard it was a pretty cool game and Die Hard: Vendetta for the Gamecube, since they were gonna stop selling Gamecube games soon. This was back before they branched out to “geek culture” alongside games. Normally I don’t frequent GameStop because of their nasty business practices of pushing pre-orders, plus I often find games on sale elsewhere, so often times my GameStop visits are usually that: visits. I’m a complete sucker for free games, so I couldn’t resist the temptation to snag a free game, despite it being somewhat of a clunky way to do this. ![]()
