I'd estimate that, had the demo run the full 60 minutes, the odds of my purchasing the full game were running around 90%. This is not a lot to spend in order to bash in the Big Bad Wolf's brains with my taint hammer. All I know is that I've tried to launch it again, and it tells me I've got to pay to play.īookworm Adventures 2 is only $19.95. I can't imagine why it would give me contradictory information, for one thing, or why it would flat-out lie about the length of time I'd spent with the demo.

Somehow, right beneath that, it also says "Game trial expired!" That's just not true. It's right there in the screen capture atop this post: "Trial Version - 28 minutes Left." Even according to the game's own count, I was correct. By my estimation, looking at my computer's clock, it was more like 32 minutes. I'd been enjoying myself, but I didn't think I'd gone the full hour yet. Suddenly, and without warning, I was kicked out to the desktop. Even better, the killing blow sometimes came in the form of hilariously inappropriate words, like "taint." Truly, this was a game for me. With each lovingly crafted word, my little worm transformed into hammers, wrecking balls, and other instruments of death, as he lay waste to one folkloric foe after another. I started playing, and Bookworm Adventures seemed to be delivering. PopCap promised 60 minutes of gameplay, which, coincidentally, is exactly the same model that hooked me on Fairway Solitaire about a year and a half ago. That's what my dreams are like every night. You spell words in order to attack monsters.
If laid-back wordplay is more your style, go with Classic.Above: The scene of the crime, in grisly detail.īookworm Adventures 2 sounded right up my alley. If you need a quick word break, link letters fast in Action mode. But watch out for burning letters - they could spell disaster for you and Lex! The bigger the word, the better the bonus. Have an appetite for words? Then join Lex the Bookworm in the hit word-puzzle game created by PopCap, makers of the best casual games this side of Jupiter! Link letter tiles left, right, up and down to build words to keep Lex sated and smiling. Possibly due to an oversight, the DSiWare version of the original Bookworm remains available in North America as of September 2021. Some online gaming portals like SolitaireParadise claim to offer Bookworm but several others that we checked wouldn’t actually load the game.

No further explanation has been given on why the games were removed although their delisting from EA’s own Origin and POGO services implies that an expired license of some sort is the cause.
