Popcap spinning out Bejeweled Twist in October

As to what the new "twist" on the genre will be, PopCap isn't saying. The game has reportedly been in development for three years, so we're curious what the team has done with that time aside from swimming in a pool of casual gamer money. Our best guess is that Popcap has taken the Bejeweled board and rotated it 45 degrees. What a twist!

I bet you rotate a quartet of pieces instead of swapping two gems.

So like Hexic but with one more block?

20? for that?
does it come with a less sucky game attached to it?

Isn't that a picture of the Bejeweled version that molested those kids in Cambodia?

Why bring up Michael Jackson at a time like this?

Instead of jewels, there will be fruits?

Why?
Popcap is becoming min-EA, or somesuch.

Hater!

On the contrary, I love Bejeweled - but it's a game that does not need sequels...period!

Why can't this be a add-on for Bejeweled 2 instead of a new game?

The same reason GH:Aerosmith wasn't an add on for GH3.
KeenCommander @ Sep 29th 2008 11:50PM
Because it would be technically impractical? Yes, I'd say that is the reason in both cases.

I never really "got" this game... seems kind of shallow even for a casual game. I won't hold my breath that this'll change my opinion.

I think $20 is a bit too much for a timewaster which I can play in flash for free on the internet...

The Twist is for twisting your wallet so all your money squeezes out.

What did Bejeweled 2 introduce as its mechanic? I don't even remember.
KeenCommander @ Sep 30th 2008 2:45PM
Exploding jewels, and a new mode...I think.
