Popcap Games asks you to Show Your Bejeweled Love

Anyone who knows me well has at one time or another endured chatter that detailed how Bejeweled Blitz is one of the most perfect and addicting games ever made. It’s “desert island game” good.

After delivering strategic zombie-bopping mayhem to the iPhone and iPod touch, Popcap Games’ much-lauded Plants vs. Zombies makes its Apple iPad debut.

Review: Bejeweled Twist (DS)

Plants vs. Zombies At The NYC Halloween Parade; Goth Gaming Geeks Rejoice

When one thinks of the city that I call home, typically the Yankees, Broadway, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Coney Island, and a dozen other landmarks and locales comes to mind, but the Big Apple also throws one heck of a Halloween party; absolutely killer if I were to draw from the well of [...]

Popcap Releases Its First Hidden Object Game For Mac: Escape Rosecliff Island

Hidden object games is  a genre that, frankly, sounds boring and perhaps a hair tedious until you give one a go.
