Bejeweled, Warcraft Combine to Form World's Most Addictive Game
Not only have they implemented one of the world's most addictive games inside *another* of the world's most addictive games -- itself a tremendously great hack -- they have actually gone the extra mile to integrate the two for extra-synergistic addiction. The in-WoW Bejeweled can be set to pop up automatically whenever you get on a flight path. It tracks high scores across your guild. It lets you level up your Bejeweled skill as if it was a standard WoW tradeskill. There are even, god help us all, Achievements.
