Hold it! Stop! Drop everything! You, with the pie! Drop it! I need your attention in order to tell you that Peggle XBLA is ALIVE!
Folks, this partnership we’ve got going with PopCap Games just keeps paying off. Not only has PopCap delivered Peggle fun directly to your pocket in the form of Peggle DS, but now adherents of the Xbox Live Arcade gaming system can enjoy Peggle in all its widescreen glory!
I’ve gotta hoof it to ‘em; each time the folks at PopCap stick Peggle on another system, they find some way of adding to its already legendary appeal. And for the XBLA version, they really went overboard. For the first time ever you’ll be able to sample the almost terrifying wonder of Live Leaderboards. You’ll have access to new level packs and challenges through the Xbox LIVE marketplace. And best of all, you’ll be able to compete online in Duel Mode as well as in the utterly new four-player Peg Party mode, a mode so fantastic it violates physical and federal law!
But while you’re busy taking my word for it, consider also the words of others, like these:
“If you’ve never played some form of Peggle, you aren’t a gamer.”
- Team XBox.com
or these:
”...this is a once-in-a-generation puzzler…”
- Official Xbox Magazine online (oxmonline.com)
or these:
“Peggle is pure happiness distilled into a low-cost digital download.”
- IGN.com
What apt descriptions! Bravo!
We’ll have more on Peggle XBLA in the next few days, including some exclusive interviewing with PopCap developers, but for now, when you’re done checking out our XBLA page, head over to XBLA itself and download the free trial! It’s free!
