Following on from Peggle and completing our PopCap double-header, this week I have been mostly playing Bejeweled 2. Like Peggle, the Bejeweled series are epically popular and if you own almost any form of computing hardware or spend any time online then it's likely that you've played it.

However, for the benefit of the boy in the bubble... Bejeweled 2 is a simple puzzle game which involves an 8x8 grid of different coloured jewels.
