#8. Bejeweled Blitz Live

#7. Gyromancer
- Release Data: PopCap/Square Enix, 2009
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
While the campaign could use a little tweaking and the game could certainly be a little easier on the eyes, the jewel puzzle core of the game works just about perfectly.

#6. Zuma Deluxe
- Release Data: Oberon Media, 2005
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
This is a good, solid matching puzzle game for the Xbox 360, all things considered.

So if you’re up for something a little more hands-on than the typical game of this sort, Zuma Deluxe will serve you well.
#5. Lumines Live!

- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
When Lumines veterans play this game, they will will blast through all of the game’s skins almost immediately.

- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is a whole new spin on the casual puzzle genre, mixing a space opera with the intricate workings of a complex game of match three.

#3. Bejeweled 3
- Release Data: PopCap, 2011
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
Looking sharp and controlling well, the Xbox Live Arcade version of Bejeweled 3 is easily on par with its PC version.

- Release Data: Backbone Entertainment/Capcom, 2007
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
The Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix does more than just gratify your sense of nostalgia.
