At the end of last week's episode of Kombo Breaker I asked PopCap Games's Garth Chouteau to please, please, please get to work on a new installment of Bookworm or Bookworm Adventures. Today the company has announced the upcoming Bookworm Adventures 2. You're welcome, Internet. Joystiq has the news.
There's a ton of good lookin' games coming out this fall, though few offerings seem as though they'll help beef up our vocabulary while indulging our base desire for molasses-slow turn-based combat. Yes, we realize that's a rather specific niche -- but it's one that will be filled quite nicely by PopCap's Bookworm Adventures 2, which will be released on July 30 for $19.99 on the casual game developer's official site.
I had no idea that I had this much sway over the gaming industry. I promise not to abuse this power for my own evil purposes. But seriously, Bookworm Adventures is a solid word tile RPG mashup that you've most likely overlooked in favor of flashier things. Do not continue to make this mistake. Take the free web version of the game for a spin and work those vocabulary muscles.
