Bejeweled 2 Released

swaptastic writes "In what seems like the year of fantastic sequels, Popcap Games has released the follow up to their flagship game Bejeweled. I am amazed that they continue to create such fun games, without relying on spyware to make money. In conjunction with the launch of Bejeweled 2, Popcap has decided to donate 1 dollar for every game they sell until x-mas to the Child's Play Charity."

Staggering!

That's just amazing...are you guys aware just how many copies of Bejeweled 2 Popcap is likely to sell in that time? That's unbelievably generous.

Also interesting and of note are the fact that it's basically the same game with more highly polished graphics and sound. Oh, and Scott Kim did the new puzzle mode, which won't appeal to fans (addicts?) of the original game but which will likely rope in more 'hardcore' players. Bejeweled is the quintessential casual game, the first breakout success in a sector that went from 0 to multimillion in the last five years or so.
