You had me at hypercube, Bejeweled 2

I was thinking about posting a player's guide for Bejeweled 2, chronicling the stratagem I developed for high scorin' antics, but after the lengthy RAZR post, I decided "nah". And instead decided to post pics of the most hypercubes I've ever gotten (7!), and a screen shot from my best game to date (it finally ended at 6,754,330 points and 202 hypercubes later). I think I leapfrogged a few ranks and am now a "Master Gemologist" (personally, I preferred the title of "Master Polisher" because I felt it was a more accurate title).

Do yourself a favor and just start over after about level 50. In my opinion, it just gets tedious after that. It seems as though the game decides to find the best way to deliver the worst combination of gems with every step, so it just becomes more work than fun. But of course before level 50, I still think it's one of the most easily entertaining and addictive games I've played in recent memory :)
