There are some games where you already know what you’re going to get before you even start playing. And Luxor is one of them. The Egyptian themed puzzler is back for a fifth time, with Luxor Fifth Passage. The game offers up a brand new game mode, a handful of new power ups, and new bonus stages. But even still, this isn’t all that different from the Luxor games you’ve already played.

I’m still amazed that after all these years I can still be so addicted to match-3 games. I mean, it’s such a simple concept you think it would’ve run its course long long ago. Yet, here I am... spending more than a few hours matching blocks in Season Match: Curse of the Witch Crow, just as addicted to it now as I’ve ever been. If you’re a fellow match-3 fan, read on because I think you’ll like what you hear.

Even though there are no roses in The UnderGarden, this game sure does encourage you to stop and smell them.

The Next BIG Thing, the upcoming animated adventure game from Pendulo Studios and Focus Home Interactive, will be launch on March 25th, 2011. It might sound like a long way off, but according Focus Home you can look forward to a humorous mystery story packed with wacky characters, challenging puzzles, and tons of references to popular movies and TV shows.

The games industry has a dirty secret. We hold press conferences and give keynote speeches, put up billboards in Times Square and displays in 7-Elevens. On stage, online, and in every message that reaches public ears, we declare our steadfast dedication to making “core” games, or announce our bold decision to explore “casual” games. Yet in reality this is a dishonest message because every good game creator knows that there has never been a successful game that was either exclusively “core” or exclusively “casual.”

The third free content pack for Academagia: the Magic of Mages, is now available for download. Behind a thousand veils, Queen Hedi of Tiljat kept her empire, her wealth and her people safe through diplomacy, intrigue and deception. The power of what seemed to be stayed the claws of dragons and tyrants alike. The only trouble with Glamours is that, sometimes, you can lose track of what's real yourself...

There's a lot to be said for bite-size gaming. Huge, epic sagas that last hours on end are all well and good, but now and again it's nice to dive into a game and climb back out again ten minutes later. Strange Adventures in Infinite Space supplies this hotfooted style of gameplay, granting you the opportunity to whiz around space in ten minutes flat.

Playrix announced today that Farmscapes, the game formerly known as Rustic Manor, is scheduled for launch on Nov. 23 exclusively at Playrix.com.

Divo Games (the developers of Be Rich) are back with another building sim called Chieftain Jack, which is set to launch in a few weeks. Chieftain Jack leaves behind the modern buildings of Be Rich for a tropical island setting where Jack - who seems to be a castaway, or maybe a time traveller; it was a bit hard to tell - has to help tribes of primitive people grow their villages and thrive.

If there is such a thing as the psychedelic, trippy genre of gaming, then BrainPipe is easily the trippiest of them all. It's described as a trip through your mind, which just so happens to be a rather long and winding pipe filled with flashing obstacles and golden glyphs.
