The iPhone port of Plants vs. Zombies isn’t quite as feature rich as its counterparts, but it’s also a tenth of the price. The smart tower defense gameplay and adorable aesthetic remain intact, and the touch interface is actually superior to other ports. It’s only a pity that the reduced content will cut down on the time you’ll spend with such an excellent game.

Peggle has been getting the Tetris treatment, and not just insofar as unscrupulous companies want to steal the intellectual property. Peggle is being ported to every platform known to man, and the casual megahit has some fun for just about every type of gamer. However, the similarities end there because Peggle’s greater complexity means that PopCap has to re-optimize the game every time they switch platforms, so you never really know what you’re getting when you pick up a new version. The iPhone port has its own perks and quirks, but still feels like Peggle on the whole.

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.
