Bejeweled used to be my favorite game in the world. It was the first game I ever bought on a Palm Pilot, and was the first purchase I made from iTunes when I bought my first iPhone.

They added new features, exploding gems, free spins for points...all very exciting. I played on. And then an update came that took a huge step backwards. First was the volume. Really annoying.
