Aim, fire, then watch as the ball caroms between pegs. In each level, you get a certain number of balls with which to try to clear various pegs scattered around the board. That's not such a hardship, is it? (Somehow I get the feeling I'll hear from some folks who think it is.)įor those unfamiliar with it, Peggle plays like a combination of pinball and the Japanese arcade game Pachinko. And, yeah, it'll probably get used for the occasional promotional message, even if you opt out during registration. The only thing you have to part with is your e-mail address, required so you can receive your download link and order number (which is your activation code). There's a bullet dodged.īut wait, oh, no! As part of an Easter promotion, PopCap is offering Peggle for PC and Mac absolutely free. It's lucky, then, that it sells for $19.95 - kind of a lot for a so-called casual game (even one as great as this). And I'd say it ranks just as high as those classics on the time-suck scale. How much do you value your productivity? If you're smack in the middle of an important work or school project, or you've got important life events to deal with - eating, drinking, and so on - you might want to steer clear of this deal.īecause I warn you: once you start playing Peggle, you won't want to stop.ĭon't believe me? Peggle comes from PopCap Games, makers of such addictive pastimes as Bejeweled, Bookworm, and Plants vs. Peggle is loads of fun for gamers (and non-gamers) of all ages.
