Console Monster writes: "Zuma is a match three or more puzzle game with a bit of a twist. The action takes place on a board viewed from the top-down. A series of spheres moves around a track on the screen, at a fair pace towards a pit. The player must stop the front of the queue from reaching the pit and ending the game, and this is done by firing a ball at the right place, at the right time. All done with a very satisfying clunk as the balls hit home.
Action is controlled via a little frog like avatar that's able to rotate around 360 degrees, something which works really nicely with the PS3 thumb stick.

With today’s Friday Funday blog post of the day, PopCap Games listed some of their more popular games and the titles that they were almost given. It has been said before that Bejeweled was originally named “Diamond Mine”, but there are a few more examples worth mentioning.
In other news, Plants vs Zombies was almost sued to oblivion.

Console and PC games will always be at odds. What about those which are ported from PC to console? Does it work? Read on and find out.
Exactly, I mean all those facebook games and arcade shovelware? Who cares? People want to pay 10 bucks to play games that cost less on mobile devices and are free on facebook and tons of other gaming sites?
You gotta admit, console owners are so jaded and used to paying out the ass for way too much crap that they're willing to shell out 10-15 bucks for something you can get for a dollar, or free elsewhere, it really says something about how console owners are treated, and how they view games as being something worth spending more money than they're actually worth. I don't think any game has been worth 60 bucks for a very long time, it's why I always buy on ebay, kijiji, or borrow used.
Something interesting to think about.
I think its a good thing that games end up on multiple platforms
