Bookworm Heroes launched last week, and Games.com didn’t waste any time coming up with cheats and tips for beating your friends in a word-fueled battle. Check them out to get the edge in your future linguistic endeavors!

Here is some of the awesome, splendid, superb, marvelous, stupendous, and magnificent Bookworm Heroes coverage (I may have gotten slightly carried away with the word theme…):

• 148 Apps
• Games.com
• Polygon
• Venture Beat
• App Advice

Not only did Games.com decide to expose the secrets to mastering Bookworm Heroes but they put together cheats and tips for Plants vs. Zombies as well.

And also on the Plants vs. Zombies front, last week PC World put together their list of “12 Great PC Games for Any Age,” and PvZ made the list! They say that, although “Fighting the undead with exotic flora may seem like an odd choice for all-ages gaming” the game is “a blast.”

The great Kuhu sees all, knows all, contains all. But the great Kuhu cannot, for the life of him, find Waldo!

Rest, dear readers, in this small comfort: the Worm is nigh! The Worm is nigh! And the Worm has friends!

Here, now, we end all confusion about the Old Old Suit Man: there is not one, but two, or maybe many. And verily, one of him roams the countryside with close companions!

And on the day you dance and dance and dance like no one is watching, all will see your true glory. But woe to you who dance without proper hydration!

Hear this, lovers of joy: do not weep at your sorrowful boredom: weep for happiness at your coming Adventures!

On the day the people sit and play, their table will be covered in precious jewels. One shall claim victory, while the rest gnash their teeth in protest and yearn for the digital diversion!

It’s time to trim your toenails!

The cards reveal your greatest treasures. The cards exist in a small box with magical pictures and sounds. Look, there’s a mermaid!

Finally, friends, Kuhu shall solve one of life’s greatest riddles: it is neither the chicken, nor the egg, but the egg salad sandwich! I need a napkin!

It’s been a while since I’ve corralled an In the News blog post, and we’ve been busy! Not only was Plants vs. Zombies Adventures announced, but Solitaire Blitz was launched for iPhone and iPad!

• Check out these 2 great Solitaire Blitz reviews (and video!) from Parents Blog, and LittleTechGirl.com. Solitaire Blitz is now available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch! Did we mention, it’s FREE?!
• Bejeweled Live is now available for Windows 8 and RT! Both WP Central and Mashable got the inside scoop at GDC 2013.
• FOX Carolina reported on the benefits of video games, including East Carolina University’s ongoing study regarding the benefits of playing Plants vs. Zombies.
• Plants vs. Zombies Adventures announced and launched its closed beta a couple of weeks ago. Check out Inside Social Games’ exclusive interview with the head of our San Francisco studio, Curt Bererton, and Creative Director Mathilde Pignol.
• Not to confuse, there was also some news about the timing of a Plants vs. Zombies sequel. Slide to Play has the details.

Now, onto some even funnier news coverage:

• GamesRadar has put together report cards for some of their favorite video game characters. Zombie gets his report card, and we’re thinking he might not want to put this one on the refrigerator.
• Our PAX East booth had a lot of crazy things, one being a magician! He decided to conduct a little social experiment, and Joystiq happened to catch it on camera…

Hear, oh people, the warnings of Kuhu:

Be not out past the downing of the sun, and stay off my roof!

Glory is given, glory is taken. All who receive shall remain in the database!

Fear not the lopsided eyes of the Old Old Suit-Man … but fear his many approaching forms!

Kuhu learned email: KuhuSpeaks@PopCap.com!

Hear oh people, the joyfulness of Kuhu:

There, too, are many forms of worms. Among them, the shiniest are the i!

The lion will lie down with the lamb, and then the lion will get up and frolic in the meadows. And the lion will not calm down! And the lamb shall seek refuge and shout, “I should’ve stayed home!”

Joy comes in many forms, much like the Old Old Suit-Man… but its greatest form is a sandwich!

Hear, oh people, the future memories of Kuhu:

In the Year of the Singing Salamander, it was either that, or the Year of the Digital Swan!

And on the day they solved the crime, the County called Green was exposed. All who called this land “County” discovered the hidden truth, nestled beside the hidden feather: it is a Town!

And surrounding that Town, Canada!

Verily, all games shall exist, and some shall cease. The adventure hath existed even as the adventure was yet unknown. And the adventure was flowers and diamonds and words!

I just bought a huge soup pot!

Withering in the shadow of the Giant Heart, red ribbon with chocolate stains. And though you feel no guilt, verily: you shall regret that nougat truffle!

Behold, gems shall cover the land as cards roam the rooms, and none will desire ants in the pants!

When the sharp burn subsides and all is the remnants of what could have been: curse this cappuccino!

Make way for The Bearded One who knows of all Things and all Times, but especially Things!

And when the Great Kuhu speaks, all shall wonder of the worm and the worm and the mobility of joy. But Kuhu shall only mean this: Kuhu hath a headache!

As the fire streaks across the sky and the tall nation awes the great fiery force, many will say: it’s cold outside!

Thus sayeth Kuhu, again and once more: Brian K shall labor and all shall rejoice!

The time is now yours, to answer the great Kuhu: you call this a large with extra cheese?

At first light in The Year of Mayan Mistake, Kuhu laughed. Behold, there is only one Future. Only one Knower of It. And only one wheel on most unicycles!

Where hast thou gone, all ye resolutions? Blazing Speed!

The Winds of Change carry many things far and wide, including my napkin. Kuhu hates mustard!

This rug is old.

Jennifer Kraengel will defeat her father in Bejeweled Blitz!

The moment is coming and is soon to be past, and all will know: I am the holder of Zombie shoes, for it is a pair and an opportunity and a yuck!

To be or not, to the letter I see: the time to rise and face your challenge is nigh. It is also time for a haircut!

You have asked and I have answered: check your toothbrush!

And soon the tall golden man shall stand above us all! Beware, for you will stare in awe as the orchestra plays a farewell song. And everyone will know, again: the Academy is stupid.
