The first time I was introduced to Peggle was at the Independent Game Awards during the 2007 GDC. The game was featured prominently among a group of independent gems like Fez and Audiosurf, none of which managed to illicit the engaged “oohs” and “awwws” and from the crowd like Peggle. So, naturally, I turned my back on the game because if it’s casual and popular and no one’s head explodes when you win, surely I would be kicked out of my cool kids club for liking it.

Peggle continues to steal the souls of every single gamer it touches, leaving husks of the former person behind. This year seems to have been the “big” year for the franchise, as its appearance on the Xbox Live Arcade has brought forward a massive influx of brand new fans. Any wildly popular game can warrant a sequel. Peggle Nights is the official sequel to the astronomically successful original title, released late last year. Delivering more of the same Peggle action, this is one more gem from PopCap that you’re going to find yourself losing several hours at a time on.
A week full of Peggle Fever at GEN. Prizes and irreversible addiction for everyone!
If anyone has ever fell into the liquid vat of crack which is known as Peggle, you know that what I’m about to say means you won’t be sleeping for the next few days…
