Anyone played Peggle besides Rag?  I was hooked on the demo for a week, then finally forked over the cash for the game.  I'm still hooked.

Not really sure how to describe it, part strategy, part puzzle game.  Think Plinko(sp.) from The Price is Right and you kind of have the gist of the game. You shoot a ball and try to hit all of the orange balls as well as rack up as many points as possible.

It also stars beavers, monkeys and unicorns.  What more could you ask for?

I hear it's also on the iPhone and DS, so check it out.

Is it on XBLA? My wife loves these types of games.

Yeah I have it and it is immensely enjoyable and very addictive. I find that most PopCap games are loads of fun and really hook into you.

I wish I could try a demo, but I'd never plunk down on a puzzle type game like that without playing.

Peggle is the greatest achievement that mankind has ever produced.  Forget the pyramids, fuck off about that whole landing on the moon thing.  We have Peggle.

i just read that the DS version has the complete original + nights expansion set of levels as well as new levels developed by Q entertainment.  sounds like a very attractive package.  the only problem is it seems to have only had a US release but that is not a deal breaker at all.

Steam. Ugh. 

You know what? I really hate registering accounts online. Every damn site makes you sign up to shit. With no 360 add ons this seems like the only way to get these games too.

I'll get the Peggle PSP or DS (I assume it's available in every format).  Except for Zuma I can't really get into puzzle games on anything other than a handheld.

 Not on PSP...yet.

But yeah, good to see more people jump on the Peggle train.

I gave into my addiction a little more and bought the DS version.  That one is mainly for my wife and for when we go on vacation next month.
