Bejeweled Twist is a solid puzzler that just lacks the immediate "gotcha" factor of past entries or other PopCap gems. IGN just never got hooked on Bejeweled Twist and this DSi version did nothing to sway their opinion. However, this 500-point edition is a great way to try Bejeweled Twist without spending much money. Just be aware that the trade off for the bargain download is a lack of gameplay modes, some of which were the best parts of the original Bejeweled Twist.

Game Revolution writes: "The following is a simple test you can use to judge how good a casual game is. It may even work for other games as well. In fact, you may want to print this test out, fold it up, and keep it in your wallet next to that fortune you got when you had Chinese on your birthday last year. Think of the pair as your own personal compass and sextant, guiding you through the choppy sea that is life. Or not. Maybe it's just good for casual games."
The Thanklessgrind.com crew marvel over the news that PopCap Games sell a copy of Bejewelled every 4.3 seconds and the franchise is now in the top ten best selling games of all time. What has been the root of the game's success over the last decade and what can the puzzler expect to achieve by 2020?
The latest Nintendo Power review scores have been released, which includes one of the first Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars reviews.
I'm genuinley happy with that score and I'm hoping it does well.
Has anyone seen the game's commercial yet by the way? It's pretty amazing.
Nice commercial indeed and excellent review for TvsC.
Only 7.0 for Glory of Heracles? That's bad, I was expecting to see a 8.5 or something.
Not trying to hate on Nintendo or anything, but who reads that magazine anymore?
I used to back in the heyday and never really liked it.
Dunno why, I think it was because 2/3 of the mag were dedicated to strategy guides for random games. Then letters from eight year old who sneak on their parent's work laptop to write up a message about the fact that they successfully typed and sent a message.
And we can't forgot the majority of the crappy fan art that shows up. I just remember seeing some of them a while back, crumpled white sheets of paper with crayon drawings of Mario looking like a sad defeated old man who's gained three hundred pounds and has 9 fingers on each hand.
Ah...Good times.
good score translates to 8-10 7.5 from the occasional flame bait hate sits/mags that need attention.
im gettin it day 1
i wish we ha a nmh2 review
