Various potions and treasures give Lex added power, defense, health, and dozens of other persistent or one-time abilities. Making longer and more complex words gives Lex greater fighting prowess, while special “gem” letter tiles offer a range of power-up effects of their own. In the Bookworm Adventures series, players take on the role of Lex the Bookworm, leading him through a series of books involving fictional characters which Lex must overcome by forming words from an ever-changing set of letter tiles. “Bookworm Adventures Volume 2 is the long-awaited sequel to one of the world’s most popular word games,” said Ben Rotholtz, VP of Marketing at PopCap, “and in this new collection we’re delivering dozens of hours of entertainment to delight even the most seasoned vocabulary aficionados.” The three books, “Fractured Fairytales,” “The Monkey King” and “Astounding Planet,” each offer a complete story and 10-chapter adventure in which players once again take on the role of Lex the intrepid Bookworm to right wrongs and defeat evil-doers through superlative spelling and use of the game’s many new and existing role-playing game elements.

Beginning on August 19, individual books of the game will become available on. Initially available on, STEAM and iWin, BWA 2 will carry a list price of US$19.95 for the full, three-book deluxe edition. The sequel to the 2007 original takes players into three new literary landscapes with a bevy of new features and lexical challenges. SEATTLE, Washington – JPopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual games, today announced the immediate availability of Bookworm™ Adventures Volume 2 (BWA 2) for the PC. Sequel to 2007 Hit Word Game Unearths All-New Books in the Continuing Adventures of Lex the Bookworm PopCap Launches Bookworm™ Adventures Volume 2 The game launches for the PC only today, but I heard a rumor that Bookworm Adventures titles may be coming to other platforms soon. Of course, you can always still play the free trial and spend nothing at all. Pricing has not been announced yet, but for those of you that prefer a taste rather than the whole sandwich (or those of you trying to save a few dollars), this may offer a worthwhile alternative to buying the game straight out. Starting August 19th, you can purchase the three individual chapters of Bookworm Adventures 2 as episodic content: “Fractured Fairytales”, “The Monkey King” and “Astounding Planet”.

Interesting to note, however, if that the release of this game also marks a new way of buying the game in little chunks if you prefer to spend a bit less. PopCap officially launches the next chapter in the Bookworm series Bookworm Adventures 2 today, and it follows most of the usual signature goodness we expect from PopCap: reasonable pricing ($19.95), clever humor, and possessing the capability to inspire a level of addiction that usually only alcohol can command.
