Bookworm DS Review
Popcap is the master of addictive games. The casual game publisher’s simply satisfying Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies still enter my regular gaming rotation whenever I have a moment to kill or need a break between more “serious” electronic entertainment. So I was enthused to check out their latest outing in Bookworm for Nintendo DS. I enjoy word games, and the touchscreen stylus controls seemed as though they’d lend themselves perfectly to this particular task, which as it turns out, they do.
The concept is, as always with PopCap games, simple to understand. With the DS screen held sideways like a book, you link Scrabble-like letter tiles to form words. Lex, the game’s green mascot munches on the words you form, and new tiles move in to replace the ones he eats. The longer the word, the more points Lex awards you. Also, certain word-lengths generate special bonus tiles on the letter grid, which grant additional points when used in a word. To make things tougher, like flaming red tiles that eventually burn their way through other letter tiles until they reach the bottom of the grid, ending your session (but not your overall game progress).
