Ellen Spertus writes "Astraware is offering a special Valentine's Day version of Bejeweled (one of the most popular PDA games) with an embedded marriage proposal you can enable." Elsewhere, Warcry has a Valentine's Day gaming article, including gamer gift picks and "Gaming as a Couple: A How To Article", including advice such as "Be willing to negotiate play schedules and set time limits up front", and, most importantly, "Never choose games over your partner." Update: 02/14 18:07 GMT by S : Blizzard also has Valentine's Day fun on its official site, including a special Warcraft III map for Valentine's Day.

bejewled, eh? by MrBallistic · 2004-02-14 06:33 · Score: 3, Interesting

you know, that's probably one of the best dorky games ideas yet. i know when my wife was introduced to bejewled, i couldn't pry her away from it for quite some time.... that and mahjong.

game developers should really think about this at some point. she really likes games that scale up the difficulty slowly, reward often, and don't require reflexes (ie, the turns aren't timed). if they could rewrap a war game like axis and allies into something that wasn't a quest for world domination, she'd be all over it.
