Mygamer writes: "Bookworm is exactly what it says that it is, a game where a worm goes around beating up creatures using only the power of his words. If that sounds like a good time, and have fun with the daily word jumble, Bookworm Adventures is probably the right game for you. It is too bad that the game seems to fall back so heavily on this one trick, as so many of the other Pop Cap games always seem able to stay fresh until the very end".
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.
