Peggle coming to Live Arcade, Ultra Bust-A-Move and Bliss Island to follow?

Peggle coming to Live Arcade, Ultra Bust-A-Move and Bliss Island to follow? photo
     Casual Gaming

The following news is brought to you in part by your friends at the Internet Matlockery Foundation. The guys at Xbox 360 Fanboy took it upon themselves to scrounge through the ESRB's Web site and what did they find? 3 likely XBLA candidates, of course!

The 3 games were Peggle, Ultra Bust-A-Move, and Bliss Island. A representative from PopCap Games has already confirmed with Shacknews that Peggle will indeed be making an appearance on Live Arcade in Q2 (tentative). I just got the iPod version of the game, and I'd be lying if I said that I could resist the urge to drop more cash in the name of Peggle. Seriously, forget your masculinity and check out this fantastic game immediately if you haven't done so already.

Ultra Bust-A-Move could very well end up being an Xbox Originals release, because that would only mean more money out of our pockets than if it were a standard 800 Microsoft Point XBLA title.

Finally, there's Bliss Island, a game I had never even heard of until today. The premise has something to do with blue creatures puffing air to make clouds so that they can live on their island in bliss. Don't injure yourself trying to figure out what all that means, as it was probably the result of a brainstorming session a la Atari in the 70s.

I love that picture.

@Heretic:

Everything you post is PhotoBucket fail, I can't see any of it.

What the fuck is with Peggle? All I know is it's got some unicorn in a puzzle game.

That picture makes me think of banana phone...I love that song. It's wrong to love it. Like squeezing puppies in a loving embrace to hear the yelps. EVIL!!

I had NO IDEA what peggle was until 2 nights ago. I saw that some game site said it was one of the best games of 2007 and seeing as to how this has been the best year of games ever, I gave it a shot.

It's really fucking funny and it's really good. It's basically Plinko with somehow more humor. This will be a must-buy.

I've been tempted to buy Peggle since playing the demo, I guess I'll just wait for the 360 version.

Also, glad to know I don't have to hide that I like it.

Yeah, Peggle is excellent/popular. I'm not surprised it's being brought to XBLA.

Grim, that photo pic is hysterical! So, that's what he does when he's not pestering Gordon Freeman, eh?

I've been waiting for Peggle to come to XBLA for a while now. I own the iPod version and the version that came with TF2. I'll gladly purchase it again. Also, I've been waiting for Bust-a-Move as well. So all in all I'm stoked.

I have to Google this Peggle you all speak of, and do want Bust-a-Move, at least for some achievements.
