But then I saw the video below, and realized I was wrong: Bejeweled Blitz is not an android, it’s just now available for Android devices, right there in the Google Play playground. Then I was happy, as if the video had said “everything will be all right; we are here to help you.” If you want to be happy, I suggest you watch the video – then get Bejeweled Blitz for Android and be even happier!

But don’t take my word for it (well, do, but don’t just take my word for it). Watch the awesome video below and learn more about the champion from Down Under, his amazing mustache, and how Level 2 and Level 3 Kanga Ruby will help you punch up your gem-matching gameplay. Psst: You can also get a free Level 3 Kanga Ruby Rare Gem at the end of the video!

We’ve teamed up with those legendarily happy game-makers Hasbro to bring Bejeweled into the arena of face-to-face, tabletop gaming. Really! Later on this very spring (that’s 2013, for those of you who haven’t flipped the calendar), Hasbro is sending two beautiful games based on Bejeweled into the world. There’s the shimmery Bejeweled physical game, which follows along the gem-matching trail that so many have loved, and Bejeweled Frenzy, which is a fast-paced card game full of even more gem-matching fun. Yee-haw! Also, picking up the former gets you (beside tons of sparkly good times) a free download of the Bejeweled 3 computer game and the latter (the Frenzy) includes a code so that players of 13 or more years of age with a valid Facebook account can redeem four Rare Gems to use in the bubbly Bejeweled Blitz online game.  Again: yee-haw! So, keep an eye out when traipsing the aisles of your local physical stores, and take Bejeweled face-to-face this spring.

All for you, of course. Yes, you!

It’s a new year and we have some great PopCap news to start off 2013. From having some of the best games to put on your newly gifted smartphone or tablet, to being ranked among the top 50 iOS games of the year, we’re starting the year off right!

  • Even though the December holidays have passed, there are plenty more opportunities throughout the year to be bombarded by family members. MacLife created a list of apps to help you survive. Plants vs. Zombies made the list as the only game to keep you sane!
  • Last week, iTunes came out with a “cheat sheet” on how to become a hardcore gamer. Their “Gaming 101” list puts Bejeweled Blitz at #2 on the list of games you need to play! See more on Kotaku.

I’ve been known to grumble about commercialism and obligatory, perfunctory, meaningless gift giving. I think we can all get that way at times. But this year, I’m in love, and I’m all goofy and filled with holiday spirit, presents already wrapped, eager to get them in happy hands for unwrapping… I’m de-Grinchified, and it’s kind of fun. Here are the PopCap gifts I’m giving this year:

Xbox 360 is a prerequisite for these item. But they also make great gifts, so don't let that stop you.

See, I love my time at the arcade, but you don’t always feel like going out to play, especially in the rainy season. At home, you may not have as many multiplayer, cooperative gaming options available. Here are a couple of great choices!

Bejeweled 3 for Xbox 360 is not only a terrific game in its own right, the disk version also includes Bejeweled Blitz Live, which is a really fun way to spend time with someone you care about. I’ve spent hours with good friends, alternately winning and losing rounds, talking smack and laughing like crazy as we make gems explode.

Plants vs. Zombies for Xbox 360 has the first-ever co-op mode in a PopCap game, and it’s a great choice if you want to sneak a love of gaming past the skeptical or snooty misgivings of a friend or partner who’s been reluctant to try it out. Even better, it also includes Peggle, the simplest form of radiant delight the world has ever known. (And if that sounds like hyperbole, you haven’t played Peggle.)

So that’s my holiday shopping list from PopCap!  What about you?
