Gasp! Just as I and my staff stagger off our dizzying three-week Peggle XBLA bender, ANOTHER Peggle Xbox opportunity appears!
Peggle enthusiasts are well aware of Peggle’s earthquaking advent on the Xbox Live Arcade download system just this March 11, a date and a moment the echoes of which continue to ring around your planet. But did you know that Peggle can also be bought for the Xbox in STORES? On a little plastic disc that comes in a little plastic case? An actual physical object thingy?
If you didn’t, don’t feel bad. I myself only just heard about it! Now, admittedly, we’ve had the PopCap Arcade Vol. 2 product page up here at Pegglefever.com for quite some time. But until today, that little “Available March 31, 2009” phrase at the top of the page spoke about a future date. No longer! My friends, March 31, 2009 is today! It’s the present!
From there, it’s only a short logical jump to get to the point, which is that you can now go into a store, buy the game, take it home with you and play it at this very moment! Let anticipation give way to satisfaction! Let the Peggle ring!
But wait! There’s more! Not only does PopCap Arcade Vol. 2 feature Peggle, reason enough for spontaneous planetwide celebration. Somehow, incredibly, in complete violation of the First Principle of Stinginess, this game comes with two other games! Yes! I’m not even lying! Check for yourself and you’ll see that PopCap Arcade Vol. 2 includes the bomblastic Heavy Weapon (one of my all-time favorite games) and the fishlicious Feeding Frenzy (an ocean of fun!) in addition to Peggle Deluxe!
How can PopCap cram so much fun and entertainment value onto a single compact disc without causing a complete spacetime funbrane collapse? I wish I knew! I’d patent that thing so fast!
