It’s as addictive as it ever was and can still steal away hours of your life if given half a chance. Have PopCap Games done enough to genuinely reinvigorate their winning formula or is this just a case of more of the same? Well, while it is, rather unsurprisingly, more of the same, Bejeweled 3 certainly offers up enough innovation and exciting new game modes to make this the definitive Bejeweled experience, and one well worth a visit for both newcomers and long standing fans alike.ĭespite the additions to the core gameplay and new game modes, at its core, Bejeweled 3 is still all about matching up three or more like-coloured jewels while attempting to build up as large a multiplier as is possible in the process. So, with Bejeweled 3 now available on Xbox Live Arcade, the real question isn’t whether it is any good (it’s fantastic by the way), but whether it’s worth getting if you have already played Bejewelled 1 or 2 (or Blitz or Twist for that matter). Whichever Bejeweled title you choose to play, you’re undoubtedly in safe hands with PopCap Games’s brilliant jewel smashing gameplay.

It’s one of the slickest, most absurdly addictive puzzlers released in recent years and genuinely feels like the first true competitor to Tetris’ long held crown since Sega released Columns back in 1989. There is no doubting the quality of Bejeweled.
