PopCap launching free Bejeweled 2 update for iPhone and iPod touch
PopCap Games has announced a free update for Bejeweled 2 for the iPhone and iPod touch. Bejeweled 2 has sold well on the iPhone (I have it on mine), and they are adding a new mode featuring a Facebook Connect integration of the “Bejeweled Blitz” game previously only found on Facebook.com.
The new iPhone Blitz game move allows gamers to post scores and achievements on their Facebook profiles. The update is free for users that have already downloaded the game. Bejeweled 2 is listed at $2.99 at the App Store for gamers that haven’t purchased it yet.
“Ultimately, social gaming is about being able to play games with and against your friends, and the new Blitz update for Bejeweled 2 on iPhone lets you play against your friends anywhere,” explained John Vechey, co-founder and director of PopCap’s social gaming initiative. “This is a natural next stage in our multi-platform and social strategies. Blending the Facebook and iPhone Bejeweled communities should prove very compelling for players.”
Scores and medals can now be earned as well as posting to the leaderboards or Facebook page. Gems can also be swapped while they are falling into place. Just another way to extend your Bejeweled experience.

Blitz on the iPhone is AWESOME! Initially, because I find it difficult to play on the laptop – without a mouse – I was a little skeptical, but the ability to hold the game right in your hands and use both thumbs (especially now that the game itself has changed to make multiple moves possible at a time) should yield some pretty high scores and amp up the competitive side.
