EA and PopCap didn’t do a very good job at fully explaining what is going on with Bejeweled 2+ Blitz for iOS.

If you’ve already downloaded Bejeweled 2+ Blitz in the past, you’ll still be able to re-download it by going through your iTunes purchase history.

PopCap has unleashed Bejeweled 3. Around the world, people are at work or school, stealthily downloading a trial. Or maybe they’re hunched over their computer playing, checking every couple minutes to make sure someone in charge won’t catch them as they match colorful gems over and over again. They don’t need to worry, I’m sure the bosses and teachers are in their offices, playing Bejeweled 3 too.

It’s understandable, since it has been six years since a real Bejeweled has been released. So Bejeweled 3‘s launch today (December 7, 2010) could be considered a special occasion…

First, you get one million coins with it, which you can spend on Blitz Boosts that’ll boost your score. If you run out, which may seem unimaginable given how many coins you get with the game, you can earn more by either playing Bejeweled Blitz or spending real money on them. The PC version also allows you to play Bejeweled Blitz any time, online or off, outside of a browser window…

MumboJumbo LLC recently (January 25, 2010) announced that a Dallas jury has awarded it $4.6 million in damages from former business partner Popcap Games.
