I am a huge, huge Bookworm fan. I own like 4 copies of it. I can play it for hours on my tablet PC, for which the pen interface is perfect. So I was quite excited to pick up Bookworm Adventures, the sequel, today. It got some good buzz on QT3.
But I was quite saddened when I actually fired it up. I need to give it another chance but they fundamentally changed the core mechanic away from finding letter chains to just playing Boggle. Boggle is not Bookworm. I like all the new stuff they added, and maybe it will redeem itself. But really, I just wanted a super-cooler Bookworm, not a different word game just using Bookworm's name...
