Bejeweled Twist is a decent puzzler for the DS, despite remaining IGN's least favorite entry in the Bejeweled series. It just doesn't have the immediate pop of previous chapters. They think slowing it down and adding bad luck kills were mistakes. But even then, PopCap's worst efforts are still considerably better than the best attempts of other casual game makers.

Pocket Gamer - Bejeweled is exactly the kind of game PopCap is famous for: simple on the surface but so perfectly tailored to the reward centres of the human brain that it can destroy an afternoon as easily as chloroform.
Bejeweled Twist, the latest game in the Bejeweled Series has launched today in the UK for the Nintendo DS.
