When you think it can’t get any better, they come out with Luxor 3 a match 3 or more orbs to destroy action Mac game for arcade trained gamers or anyone who wants to have fun. If you know the first two Luxors (Luxor and Luxor 2) or if you don’t, you’re going to be equally convinced that Luxor 3 is an awesome shooter game.

The play is to slide the winged shooter at the bottom of the screen from side to side shooting spheres up to the snaking rows of orbs inching its way towards the pyramid and to your demise. Every third match you’ll earn a power-up from the god of the same color. Osiris is white, Anubis black, teal Thoth, orange is Sekhmet, green Geb, Ra is red, yellow is Isis, Nut is the blue power and Horus is purple. Now we are all up on our ancient Egyptian gods. Most of the power-ups are the same as the previous games, but a purple one called Scorpion is especially impressive. It emerges from the Pyramid to destroy the nearest orb.

There are reflectors you can bounce the orbs off of to get around blocks or corners. Throughout the game you’ll see scarabs and jars you need to shoot at and catch ankh coins or when you get 4 canopic jars in a round, you get to play the bonus level. In addition to all the action you need to be quick and catch all the goodies falling down the screen. This will get you mega points and that’s what we are after.

I like Luxor 3 a lot and would recommend this fast-paced arcade play with astonishingly beautiful graphics and powerful sounds to everyone. You have to be nimble and quick with the shooter especially when playing the more difficult levels, but practice will make anyone good at this game plus you can play the easy level at first until you build up your skill. So if you are a hardcore arcade gamer, match player or beginner, try the variety of plays in this fantastic Mac game.  Who would believe #3 is this good?  I gave it a 4.5 because I know there's room for improvement and perhaps #4?  Have a blast playing Luxor 3 for now and wait for the next generation.
