Gaming Everywhere: "EA’s addictive peg-popping puzzle franchise, Peggle, is getting a new installment. Revealed today, Peggle Blast is an amazing new chapter of one of the world’s finest and friendliest puzzlers."
Peggle Blast is Electronic Arts and PopCap's new addition to the Peggle franchise starring everyone's favorite creepy unicorns, Bjorn and Fnord. Unlike the original Peggle entry on the iOS and Android, which is a pay to play game, this is a free to play game, with all of the usual trappings, but if you can get past the F2P elements it's quite fun. In fact, there are plenty of ways to minimize the impact of the F2P.
Destructoid:
"My criteria for enjoying a game with microtransactions is simple -- am I having fun, and can I consistently have fun without feeling like I need to pay out? Unlike some people who hate microtransactions on sheer principle, if I can play through an entire game without having to indulge or otherwise pay attention to them for one moment, they naturally don't detract from my enjoyment of said game.
If a game entices me to want to pay, I'm generally okay with it, as long as I can play the core game unfettered. See Path of Exile for this model. It works."
Peggle is such a simple, goofy game. It’s a casual, pachinko-style game that I’m pretty sure everyone has played at least once in their lives. Peggle Blast is the first Peggle game designed exclusively for mobile devices, and unfortunately, also crawling with in-app purchases.
