Microsoft has recently announced that several exciting games would arrive in the Windows Store this weekend, including the very popular PopCap title, Bejeweled.

The game will have a price tag of $4.99 (€3.89) and will be completely optimized for the touch, which means that you should be able to play it not only on the desktop version of Microsoft's latest operating system, but also on the Windows RT tablet flavor.

“Bejeweled LIVE takes special advantage of Windows 8 features such as showing your game status updates on the Start screen with the Bejeweled LIVE live tile, play Bejeweled in Snap mode and check out your friends’ scores on Xbox LIVE. Earn flashy Bejeweled badges and Xbox achievements to prove your multifaceted skills!” Microsoft said in a post.

As mentioned, the download links should be released in just a few hours, so keep an eye on Softpedia to make sure you're one of the first Windows 8 users who give it a shot.
