Bejeweled Twist Buy Now

Bejeweled is probably one of the most addictive casual games of all time. It definitely sits up there with Tetris, Dr. Mario and Zuma.
The new trend in casual games has seen a whole mountain of bejeweled clones but now Popcap has decided to just put a spin (no pun intended) on their own game.

Bejeweled Twist is fun... but it's no Bejeweled.
The twist idea is a bit like some of the Rubic's cube spin offs in my day, they were fun... but they just weren't a Rubic's cube.
Instead of swapping gems that sit adjacent to each other you twist a set of 4 gems hoping that one of the gems in your group matches up with a gem outside of the group. At first it's a bit of guess work but it becomes second nature quickly. The problem is that it makes it much more difficult to plan out big combos and set up chains. You'll be grinning with pride a lot less during this game and overall it just feels a bit more like a chore after a while.

Like Bejeweled 2, Twist has better graphics, a new creepier voice and some advanced combo gems. It features a few different game modes as well but they still don't seem to help the game out much.
It almost feels like Popcap doesn't quite grasp the concept of what made bejeweled so successful.
A simple concept with a simple mechanic and gradually ramping difficulty curve.

If your a puzzle game fan you'll most likely enjoy this game but don't expect it to replace your favorite, especially if you've been playing Bejeweld Blitz, Twist will be entertaining for awhile but that's most likely all it will be. Definitely not my new addiction.Get more detail about Bejeweled Twist.
