Bejeweled Blitz (Nintendo 3DS)

Recently I started work on a year long preview podcast called Wii U Life, covering 2012's release of the Wii U... and one of the things I learned was that the Wii U is at last the next gen entry by Nintendo, looking to win by core gaming fans who left Nintendo for HD pastures.

At first I was worried this would mean Nintendo would be throwing casual gaming fans under the bus, but that shouldn't be a fear I think... though at least casual gamers will always have the 3DS. And games like Bejeweled Blitz.

Blitz is a simple addictive match three game. You can raack up matches, make challenge matches to speed up the match meter which turns a board piece into a mega fruit which clears the entire board of that color as well as add time to all on screen bombs. Match four for a fire piece that explodes when matched. Match five for a lightning piece that clears a giant cross section of pieces. Finally the ultra rare supernova piece, matching 7 and up pieces.

Game ends whwn you fail to disarm bomb pieces... and that's it. Otherwise the game can last 1 to 2 hours a play, and can become super addictive before you know it. A 5 out of 5 for a game you'll have a hard time putting down... yes, bells and whistles are non exsistant but who cares when the game is this addictive.

Next time - Speaking of addictive come back Thursday for the rare food game on the PlayStation Store... Stand O Food. See you Thursday!
