While I was exploring Newgrounds the other day, I discovered a great game hidden amongst all the other puzzlers called "The Rise of Atlantis".
Few tales are as legendary as the fabled sunken city of Atlantis; and the idea of a lost civilization has captured the interest of people for centuries.
The story whether you decide is true or not (not what we are here to discuss however, moving on!) has been featured many, many times in books (there have been more than 20,000 books written about the lost city in fact!) on TV and in movies and now even in a videogame!
"The Rise of Atlantis" is a match 3 tile-swapping puzzler that will have you traveling
around the Mediterranean collecting all of the7 powers of Poseidon and raising the lost city of Atlantis back to the surface from its watery tomb!
Yeah I know, match 3 gameplay isn't a new concept, and frankly one that has been done to death, in fact I was a little skeptical about it at first too.
But then I said to myself "Hang on a minute now, it looks professional, and polished and it is nice to see a mainstream game featured on NG. "
Now, now don't get me wrong or anything I love playing the small indie games just as much as the rest of ya, all I 'm saying is that it is kinda refreshing sometimes to see...ah heck you know what I am saying!

I agree it's really well made an such. I could just only play it for a minute or two before I felt like I was playing a reskinned Bejeweled. These things are approaching Tetris on the 'done to death' radar. Would love to see those graphics in something more fresh, is all.
