Poker requires the player to match gems in order to create poker hands for points. While all of these retain the essential connect-three base, they’re a bit more interesting than the other four game types (and require more explaining). The four unlockable game types are Poker, Diamond Mine, Butterflies, and Ice Storm. Each level contains eight challenges, such as “Free a certain number of butterflies” or “Get so many points” but while some of the game types are ones found on the main screen, there are also eight game types that are exclusive to quest. The primary four are Classic (this should be self-explanatory) Zen, which is similar to classic except that the music is more relaxing and the game is endless Lightning, the complete opposite of Zen in that you have to move quickly and match as many gems as possible in the time given and Quest, which consists of five levels. In all, there are eight game types, four of which, when played, will unlock the other four. Surprisingly, PopCap has managed to retain the fundamental elements that made Bejeweled so popular in the first place, while adding more and keeping the title entertaining. Zombies and the original Bejeweled being so entertaining, there’s a bit of expectation that this game has to live up to.īejeweled 3 ( PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, Nintendo DS )īejeweled 3 is, at its core, still Bejeweled, a connect-three game that has, out of necessity, added more elements in order to stay fresh.

In this version of the connect-three game, PopCap has mixed things up, adding new game modes and more features. PopCap is well known for fun, entertaining games however, and Bejeweled is just another of its wildly popular casual gaming experiences. Keeping things fresh, however, is not always easy. Bejeweled has been around for years and has spawned quite a few variations.
