It’s a Facebook classic that boasts more than 5 million likes. Match up gems to get a high score in 60 seconds. Then compete with your Facebook friends for the top score. Simple, sure, but it’s a great way to ignore the person who’s Facebook chatting you nonstop. For those of you who don’t do well under pressure, Bejeweled 3 (which does not have a Facebook app) offers some calmer game modes, including Zen, which has no time limit. But until PopCap Games makes an app for Bejeweled 3, the sudden-death format of Bejeweled Blitz will do quite nicely.
