Between World of Warcraft: Cataclysm‘s launch on December 7th and now the just-announced launch of Bejeweled 3 on the same date, the gaming gods seem to have conspired that hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike won’t be getting anything done this holiday season.
Coming six years after Bejeweled 2‘s initial release, Bejeweled 3 will cost $20 on PopCap.com, and will boast new features that are apparently exciting to Bejeweled players:
