Peggle finds a home on the Xbox Live Arcade bringing with it the super powered pachinko-esque, point and shoot gameplay to Xbox 360s. It's insanely addictive, just like the majority of PopCap's lineup of games.
The concept of Peggle is a simple one: shoot balls from a cannon to destroy colored pegs all the while being guided by talking unicorns and skateboarding beavers, ultimately resulting in a screen clearing orgy of points, rainbows, and a feel-good blast of Beethoven. It's all very rewarding work, and the end result never gets old. Peggle features what you'd expect from the an XBLA game, including online multiplayer, voice chat and Achievements, all while retaining its original core gameplay.
I should note that Peggle was originally a cell phone game that was later ported over to the PC. So the question now is, should you catch the extreme fever of Peggle addiction, or should you skip class at the Peggle Institute?
Everything that made the original Peggle so fun and addictive is here in the XBLA release: the peg hitting fun, the crazy Peggle masters, the challenges that test your skills, the over saturated colorful presentation, its all here.
Peggle is fantastic, casual, and relaxing fun. It's also one of the better deals on the Xbox Live Marketplace. The Adventure mode alone can take up to six hours or more to complete. Throw in unlockable challenges, master duels, and a solid multiplayer support, and you'll see why Peggle pushes itself into the ultra extreme value zone. For casual fun on the Xbox 360 it's nigh impossible to overlook Peggle. Needless to say, it is the most addictive substance since crack.

Flock's release dates have finally been confirmed. The game will be out the same week as its PC and Xbox 360 counterparts. I've been looking forward to this game ever since I first saw footage of it at E3 last year, so I'm very glad to get my hands on it soon.
