If the plummeting blocks don't get you, the spinning balls almost certainly will. Forsaking the former and embracing shiny spherical substitutes,
Luxor 2 has you saving Egypt by destroying the magical balls that threaten the pyramids at the end of their paths... it says here. Clearly, the epic plot isn't the part that's meant to occupy your mind -- that would be the job of the 88 levels, four modes of play, multiple modes of difficulty and masses of ill-mannered marbles that constitute this casual Xbox Live Arcade release. For 800 points ($10), the amount of content available is unlikely to leave you feeling E-gypped.
Luxor 2, which can be enjoyed by young gamers and old Gizas alike, is set to arrive at 9AM GMT (2AM PST) on Wednesday, 4 April. The ankh-ticipation is killing us.

I got this for the PC years ago. Nice Zuma clone with more power-ups.

I LOL'd at those puns. Especially "Old Gizas". hahaha. Very nice Ludwig.

Little disappointed that they went with this instead of Zuma.
Speaking of which, where are all these casual PopCap games for my DS??

"Nice Zuma clone with more power-ups."
Zuma is, in turn, a clone of Mitchell Corp's PuzzLoop (rebranded as Magnetica for DS in NA, and ActionLoop in EU).

Anybody who ever says "Zuma clone" should be shot.

Don't try and trick people into thinking that this is some form of punishment. That's how you get to sleep every night, Ludwig.

My wife will be pleased. She loves these types of games. She played the PSP Luxor game non-stop for quite a while.
