Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of PopCap's Bejeweled 3. The latest version of the popular franchise features eight game modes, 65 achievement badges to collect, a variety of new powerups to discover, and improved graphics.

Here's an excerpt from the review:

Zen is one of the more unusual aspects of Bejeweled 3. This an “unlimited no rush, no stress game", which could essentially go on forever. The randomness of the jewels falling is a bit more controlled in your favor so there are more possibilities for matches. Coupled with this are some ambient audio effects you can choose to turn on. Breath modulation uses graphic and audio signals to slow and modulate your breathing. Turning on Mantras plays relaxing mantra sounds in the background. Binaural sounds attempt to balance your brain. You can choose a variety of relaxing ambient background sounds (ocean, birds, running water, etc.) to accompany your game play. It is interesting, but the relaxed ambient effect is a bit lost when you match one or more of the rather EXPLOSIVE jewels.
