PopCap is known as the king of casual games, and their latest release shows why. It takes one of their popular icons - a bookish worm - and merges it with an unlikely genre, the turn-based RPG. Bookworm Adventures stars Lex of classic Bookworm fame, but this time out he's on a spelling spree where each word formed becomes an attack on a mythological beast or foe. You'll even collect power-ups and potions to help you on your quest, and there are mini-games to break up the action. You can download a free trial that includes at least an hour of gameplay, but you'll probably buy it before it runs out - even with the hefty (for casual games) $30 pricetag. NOTE: For a limited time, you can buy it from iWin for $15 if you use the coupon code "PeaceOnEarth" by Jan. 7 - but you'll want to get the trial from iWin.com if you plan to go this route...
