Magnetica


Whether you recognize it as the arcade game Puzz Loop's handheld version or the second coming of Zuma, Magnetica promises to be the perfect companion in the coming long summer trips.

This Nintendo DS game will see players using the touch screen to flick marbles one-by-one at an ever-growing spiral chain of marbles. Connecting three marbles of the same color will make the marbles vanish, which sometimes set-off a massive chain of reactions.

Single player modes in this game offer players bonus items that can slow or stop time or even reverse the course of marbles. There are 99 levels on four difficulty settings in the game's challenge mode. There are marble-stymieing obstacles like wind, water, switches, and multiple launchers to deal with as well. To win against your opponents in the two-player Versus mode, use weapons such as Ion Clouds (create smoke screens), Recoils (block an opponent's marbles), Black Holes (devour marbles), and Gravitons (alter the path of launched marbles).

Magnetica is rated E for Everybody and launches next week, June 5.
