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 is a decent puzzler that will undoubtedly take up many hours of your time if you give it a chance. As a standalone game it’s a bit of a struggle to recommend Bejeweled Twist to most gamers, but if you’re a fan of the Bejeweled mechanic then this is surely a must have for your collection. If you love Bejeweled then add another 2 to the rating score, for everyone else, Bejeweled Twist would be a good game to take on a train or plane journey to pass the time.

I'm not going to deny Bejeweled success, but Tetris will forever be king. This is coming from someone who prefers Lumines.
Sells a copy every 4.3 seconds? that's insane. Never really played it myself.
