    If you're a fan of competitive puzzlers then ACA NeoGeo: Puzzle Bobble is a fun albeit simplistic old-school entry in the genre. Because it's the first game in the series, don't expect to see many bells and whistles after giving it a download.

The concept is easy enough for a novice to enjoy, but high scores and single credit playthroughs demand precision and skill. Easy enough to play “one more game” for hours. And the music is catchy beyond belief. Expand
