PopCap Games offers up a new edition of Bejeweled and a standalone edition of Bejeweled Blitz today for iPhone and iPod touch players. Retiring the previously available Bejeweled 2, Bejeweled Blitz becomes available as a standalone “freemium edition.” Bejeweled Blitz was previously included in Bejeweled 2 and offers a fast-paced, one-minute round of trying to attain the highest score possible. Share your scores on Facebook to challenge friends! The newest edition of Bejeweled offers all-new high resolution retina display support, three game modes and more. Bejeweled is available at a tempting 99 cents. Be prepared to get hooked on these latest shiny editions of the popular match-3 puzzle game.
“With nearly 40 million mobile units sold over the past eight years, Bejeweled is the second best-selling mobile game of all time, behind only Tetris,” noted Giordano Bruno Contestabile, Bejeweled franchise business director at PopCap Games.
