Just finished with the PopCap Games luncheon, and had the opportunity to play with both Bookworm Adventures 2 (announced only for Windows now, but they swear it will come out for the Mac in a few weeks or so), and Bejeweled Blitz for the iPhone, with facebook login. Bejeweled Blitz was much further along than BWA2 was, as the latter crashed pretty quickly while I was playing it. But both looked really good. And Bejeweled Twist had the added benefit that when I logged in on facebook, I could see who else was playing Bejeweled Twist on facebook and compare scores already.

I asked about Bejeweled Twist for the Mac, and was told that it would be coming out “soon”. Within “6 to 12 weeks”. Of course, that was similar to what I was told last year when the Windows client came out, and we have yet to see it. To be fair, PopCap Games has been very supportive of the Mac (and now the iPhone) for most all of their games. They even said that they had learned an important lesson in the past year, as they realized that over 25% of their sales came from the Mac.

But time will tell whether they strive to release the Mac version simultaneous, or within a week or two, of the Windows client.
