Looks like a great game for my kids...I just need to get around to having them so I can justify playing this game myself for 'their educational benefit'.
A 1 month old would get something out of this game, right?

 

[Banter]

Blee
noun. Complexion; color; hue; likeness; form.
For him which is so bright of blee.

Errr, yeah.

Crack cocaine in the form of casual gaming, that's popcap for you.

I can't see myself buying this though, anything to do with scrabble brings back the bad memories of family games.
Oh, the bloodshed...

Sounds like a fun game, but I'm not willing to spend 20 Euros on it.

Tycho from Penny arcade had a few words to say about this game on Monday. Here it is [http://www.penny-arcade.com/2009/7/31/]

Apparently, it IS possible to ragequit from Bookworm.

You can buy each book individually, if you'd rather not spend the full fee.

The dictionary is "sanitised" as well. With the letters E,H,O,R,W it wouldn't let me spell the first word I thought of.

Though that may be far more a reflection on me.

For some reason, I've always been -terrible- at these type of games.

True, it's not going to let you spell anything terribly questionable.

I loved the first one.. didn't know there would be a new one... TO THE SHOP. Wait... cleaned up dictionary? grml...

Here's a tip: if you don't know what to get a loved one for their birthday, or Christmas, or the like, get them a Popcap game. Nothing says "I love you" like the gift of an addiction!

Space Cow was Bad Horse's nemesis in college!

 

[Hulyen]

I love the first Bookworm Adventures so much - I didn't even know there was a second one out!

Fun fact: The word 'Pwned' is in the first game as a legit word.

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

It's the kinda game I'd play if I didn't have things like Mothership Zeta keeping me occupied.

Another, "that's a fairly good amount of awesome you're giving us for $20" game from PopCap.

Despite their choice to spawn casual drivel, I have to admit, games like Plants Vs Zombies and Bookworm Adventures warm me up to the company.

Looks like an exciting silly game for those how get bored really easily...
