Peggle!!

edit: Hmm, Crystal Defenders is a Tower Defense game, interesting. I'm surprised I never heard of it. The graphics are pretty low res looking though, it looks like they ripped the sprites directly from FF Tactics A2. And why the hell is the game window-boxed like that?

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Is the xbox peggle exactly the same as the pc version or is it completely different levels?

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

In for Peggle!

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

If you want to wait another 2 weeks, want FF2 and Heavy Weapon, and don't mind disc-based XBLA titles, you can get all 3 for $20 on Popcap Arcade Vol 2. If there was a 4th title on here, I would consider it, but tax will pretty much negate the package savings here.

It is FF based. It was recently released for ipod. Haven't played it though. After PixlJunk Monsters, other tower defense games don't do much for me.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

I'm all over Peggle this week!

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Peggle for me! Haven't gotten an XBLA game in awhile, so that's exciting.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Apparently it's the same 55 levels. Two online multiplayer modes, including a wacky 4-at-once mode. More content available by DLC (likely including Peggle Nights).

I'm still getting it, but they really should have come up with some new levels for Peggle addicts who have played the original to death already. Still MP should be fun.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Maybe they just assumed that those that already played would still buy it no matter what.


:lol: ;)

I've got a friend who has it on 2 formats and will be making this his 3rd. :)

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

I know its based on FF Tactics A2, that is why I mentioned it. You would think they could of cleaned up the sprites a bit better than they look. That along with being window boxed 4:3 make it look pretty damn bad.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Thanks for the heads up - my hard drive is down to like 1 gig free, so this is a better option for me :)

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Too bad those discs don't include download codes. I haven't played Uno or Pac-Man CE in ages because I'm too lazy to swap out discs. Also it's noisy as hell reading off the disc since the hd install doesn't seem to work with the xbox arcade disc.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

That will be me as well. You know what's ironic about that? I will have bought Peggle for the ipod, PC and 360, will be able to play Peggle on my home, work, laptop computer, on my ipod and my 360 and still will have paid less in total than if I had purhcased Watchmen last week. And I'm sure going to get more than 3 hours of play time out of Peggle.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Hater.

:lol:

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

I admit, I have never looked for nor played Peggle before all this talk. You guys seem pretty excited, so I pulled the demo from PopCap and I think I might be sold too.

Not sure how it'll control on the 360, but it should look beautiful on the system. So it might be a DS purchase if the 360 controls are sketchy. My daughters should like it too.

Looking forward to Wednesday now.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Same although I haven't even played the demo, might just blind buy it. That's what sucks when they price games $10 or lower, you always are thinking "It's just $10". For every Puzzle Quest I've bought and played dozens (possibly over 100?) hours into is a Castlevania: SOTN which I have only put about 10 minutes into.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

:lol: I may have 5 more minutes of experience in SOTN than you. But it can't be more than that. I think I only played the Galaga remix game once as well. I still have no idea how to play Super Puzzle Fighter HD and can't comprehend why I went and sprung for the full game when I clearly had no idea how to play the demo. Some impulse buys remain just that.

One thing I will say : I've never made a foolish impulse buy on XBLA at 1200 or 1600 points. That much is certain. ;)

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Can someone explain wha Peggle is?

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

It's kind of like a pachinco machine. You fire a ball at the top after aiming it and it bounces and falls down hitting pegs and you try to clear the colored one. It sounds boring and lame, but really it's addictive fun.

Try this demo and see. Or buy it for the PC. It's only $2.50 with code blitz1.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Fixed that for ya.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

I just noticed this on the marketplace: 2008 Xbox LIVE Arcade Awards (37MB).

I guess this is how we are supposed to vote in the XBLA awards. Just FYI...

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Too bad they don't allow write in votes.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

I will have to check out the Crystal Defenders demo.

I don't think i will bite on yet another version of Peggle. Don't get me wrong, i really enjoy Peggle but i played it to death on the PC and have considered getting the DS version since it is supposed to have some new stages.
