Peggle the new Bejeweled, coming to everything ever, XBLA this month photo

We love Peggle. A lot. If PopCap wants to bring it to every platform known to man, far be it from us to complain, and we certainly won't. 

First off, Peggle Dual Shot for the Nintendo DS hits retail today, so you can stop reading this and go buy that. But if you don't want to leave the house, later this month Peggle comes to both Xbox LIVE Arcade and iPhone. Then in April, Peggle Nights for the PC hits retail. And then in May PopCap will be bringing a version of Peggle to Android-based devices, which is good news for me, since I happen to own one of those. I like Peggle so much, I'll happily drain my battery to play it. 

So yeah, PopCap is going Peggle crazy. They call it "Peggle Fever," and to celebrate, tey're holding some sort of a art contest where you can win merchandise, games, and a trip to PopCap's Seattle headquarters. You just need to design new Peggle characters, levels, and power-ups. Simple, right? Get to it.

You know what they say? Mo' Peggle, mo' problems. OK, they don't say that at all, do they?

[Update: I went back in time and wrote this story, which originally stated that Peggle would be coming to XBLA and iPhone next month. It is, in fact, coming this month.]

I never got into the Peggle craze, and seeing all these news about it, thank god I didn't.

If this game can stop my dual addictions to Puzzle Quest and Zuma, I will be impressed.

I will also lose my job.

I've never played a Peggle, but I keep hearing about it. If it's anything like Puzzle Quest, then I'll give it a look.

I never realized there was a peggle game with the Orange Box. It's only a trial type thing but I think I got the jist. It's like pinball meets breakout.

The Peggle that comes with the Steam version of The Orange Box is more like a mini expansion than a trial. All the levels are Orange Box themed, with some pretty disturbing and amusing art updates (such as Bjorn the Unicorn with a head crab attached to his face and the smilely-faced sun replaced with the G-Man). Also, Peggle is virtual crack.

I've been playing the shit out of this game. I've even played it when I've been taking a shit. In my opinion, if a game is good enough to take to the bathroom it's good enough for me!

That game is annoying as hell, but it's frustratingly addictive.
