There's a ton of good lookin' games coming out this fall, though few offerings seem as though they'll help beef up our vocabulary while indulging our base desire for molasses-slow turn-based combat. Yes, we realize that's a rather specific niche -- but it's one that will be filled quite nicely by PopCap's Bookworm Adventures 2, which will be released on July 30 for $19.99 on the casual game developer's official site.
If you never experienced the Boggle meets Final Fantasy action of the original Bookworm Adventures, PopCap has a free trial available. Just don't blame us when your friends start complaining about your new proclivity for dropping six-dollar words.

As far as that game goes, I liked what I played of the first one, but I just can't justify $19.99 for it... I know I wouldn't play it that much.

my wife and I played through the first one together about six months ago. There was an enemy called Mr Blob. My wife jokingly sang the Mr. Plow song from the simpsons when she saw the name, but changed it to "that name again is mr. blob" and then immediately after she said it, it said it in the game itself. that was neat.
can't wait for this one. BWA is my favorite PopCap game, by far.

One day Popcap, one day I will TAKE back all the time you have taken from me!
I could have cured cancer, or been an astronaut, instead I played Bejewled, Peggle, and Bookworm Adventures....
