Bejeweled Blitz

Apparently I am wicked late getting into this game.  I downloaded this and was really pumped about it and showed my brother-in-law who informed me that it had been out since 2010 or even earlier.  So while I am still going to review this game/app, I understand that many of you may already have it and are way better at it than I am. If you are in that group, bear with me on this one.

Everyone knows the simple Bejeweled game that PopCap introduced a while back.  This is it. Simple as that.  Since its new to me, I’m going to tell you about the game as though you have no clue what I’m talking about.  You have to match up colored jewels in groups of three or more to get them to disappear.  Each group of jewels that you make gives you points that tally up as the game goes on.  To further complicate things, there are some pretty sweet power-ups that are available.  There are multiplier power-ups and specialty options where the games goes bonkers and you get a whole crap-ton of points at the end of your minute long round.  It may sound plain and boring to you right now, but have faith in me that I wouldn’t lead you astray.  What makes me play this game day in and day out is that you are competing against your Facebook friends for the highest score.  I’m not trying to look like an idiot who can’t figure out a puzzle game, right?!

As always, the fact that it’s free and you can try it out without any downside makes it worth your while.  Let me know what you think!
