PopCap Release Bejeweled Blitz For Desktop

PopCap Games, one of the top casual game makers of all time, is releasing Bejeweled Blitz for the desktop. The interesting element here is that it uses the same Bejeweled game design that is available for Facebook, but the Facebook version is free and the downloadable version is $19.95.

The game takes the standard Bejeweled formula and adds powerups and a 60 second timer. The key is that the power-ups are earnable, but also purchasable as microtransactions.
