Game Nostalgia

So Popcap did it again, created a stupidly addictive game that you just can't get out of your head.
This special version of Bejeweled features a 1 minute game time in which you will want to score as much points as possible through various combinations.



The good thing is that you don't have to calculate your gems because you will never be able to run out of a certain type and you will never get what was most annoying in the original Bejeweled "You are out of combinations - Game Over".

I have always disliked time-limited games, but in this case it actually does work, it makes the perfect distraction when waiting for an especially slow or large download, or when you are just waiting for your mates to get ready for that party you are going to. Unfortunately it is also the perfect distraction when you are trying to do something important, like uni-work.





Bejeweled blitz has also connected to me on a more personal level, you know how people tell you to count sheep when you are having trouble sleeping?
I go over Bejeweled combinations, it is perfectly distracting and allows you to rather swiftly fall into that nice little pre-REM state of sleep where you are still concious but you just know that any minute now you are going to fall into a dreamless state of sleep that will allow you to wake up all rested.



Isn't that just great ? although extremely weird I admit.
