As my Xbox 360 gamer card over on Sync2play.com reflects, I've been playing some Zuma recently. There's something about arcade games in HD that just look amazing and I'm addicted to trying to increase my gamer score relative to other people I know. Pirate Poppers is PC only, so it isn't available in HD but it's still a ton of fun. The game plays like Zuma, requiring you to combine three or more balls of the same color as they roll toward a pit (or in the case of Pirate Poppers a powder keg). You get bonus coins and treasures as you play Pirate Poppers and the game increases in difficulty with each successive level. One of the big differences between Pirate Poppers and Zuma is the treasures concept because you actually need to catch the treasures to acquire them, which gets hectic when you are trying to shoot marbles into the correct color grouping simultaneously.
