Who doesn't like a good casual game? Don't answer that, we don't want any negative energy around here, so if you're not interested in this free Luxor 3 trial (60 minutes), by all means, check out other headlines that might interest you more (such as the free demo of Hellgate: London we've also made available this morning). But you still might want to look into Luxor 3 anyway - it has received Softpedia's Pick Award.

LUXOR 3 takes you on an ethereal journey as you battle the power-hungry god of Chaos... A new episode of the Luxor saga is here... LUXOR 3 takes you on an ethereal journey as you battle the power-hungry god of Chaos to free the essences of other Egyptian gods before they reach the pyramid at the end of their path, says the official description.

First of all, when starting your first game, you need to remember to make efficient use of the reflectors. Make three matches in a row and release supernatural power-ups, collect Ankh coins to use for purchasing important upgrades and collect canopic jars to unlock bonus levels and hit elusive Golden Scarabs (to discover hidden treasures).

And this is just scratching the surface of Luxor 3. What even better is the new puzzle mode (which you can access by going on an Adventure). Here, you're given a limited amount of balls which you need to use to pop everything on screen. Targets are stationary but don't be fooled because you're going to have to think in perspective if you want to succeed in beating this mode.

Key Features:

■ Seven challenging gameplay modes including five never before seen ■ Over 140 nail-biting levels with new features including branching paths and reflectors ■ Upgradeable power-ups, plus exciting ball sets and shooters to unlock
