WoW widows should get ready to become real widows, because Bejeweled is coming to the World of Warcraft and your raid-obsessed sweetheart will never have a reason to stand up from the computer again.

The breakout casual game from PopCap will be arriving in the form of a mod–user-installable code that adds layers to the Warcraft core. Bejewelled will be a more professional version of the Besharded mod, a clone created by Michael Fromwiller. In a pleasant deviation from cease-and-desist as usual, PopCap actually hired Fromwiller to further polish his mod and add PopCap branding after noticing that it existed.

With Namco jealously guarding the patent on minigames during load screens, it’s nice to see that developers are making headway where they can to fight sandwich gaming.
