Honest Gamers writes: "In the end, Bookworm Adventures Volume 2 represents a solid 15 or 20 hours of addictive play, which isn't bad at all considering the price. Gamers have certainly been content in the past to pay more for less. The real downer here is that PopCap often tilts the "fun versus cost to play" ratio even more aggressively in its favor. This latest effort is certainly worth a go if you've already played everything else or you just want to engage in a battle of words, but otherwise there are several titles within PopCap's library that serve as a superior starting point".
Sim City is an obvious choice, but what other games can be used to teach youngsters - and oldsters - useful skills and interesting facts?

To once again battle it out one-on-one with amusing rivals backed by the mantra; The pen is mightier than the sword. But our charming hero Lex goes through this whole expedition with a secret motive of saving someone from the claws of death."
Bookworm Adventures: Volume 2 is great for kids but fun enough to cross the age gap. Its simple game play is immediately learnable and infinitely enjoyable. As someone who is terrible at Boggle and outright hates Scrabble, it's something of a miracle that I enjoy the game so, and also a testament that Popcap's creation is one that all but the most self-conscious gamers will love.
