A Brief Public Service Announcement

If you own an iPod capable of playing games, you must go purchase Peggle from the iTunes iPod game store.  The game is 4.99 and is a great deal.  If you’ve missed out on Pegglemania,  now is the time to try it.  The PC version, Peggle Deluxe, is on sale on Steam for 9.95.

For those who do not know, Peggle is a puzzle  game in which you must shoot and bounce a limited number of balls into orange colored blocks in an attempt to make all the orange blocks disappear.  It may sound dumb or simple, but the addition of special powers to use adds to the strategy of getting the highest scores possible.

I have played through the PC version and enjoyed myself through the entire campaign and still fire it up from time to time.  Today,  the iPod version was released, and I have played the first few levels and it is a capable port.  There are minor bouts of slowdown, and the scroll wheel isn’t as accurate as the mouse.  However, this is the first portable version of Peggle I have seen, so it gets an automatic buy and recommendation from me.
Go buy it. PC or iPod, it is a fantastic game.
