Even though you ultimately don't have all that much control over how games of Peggle play out, PopCap still managed to create an engaging experience by infusing the addictive qualities of slot and pachinko machines into its title through a masterful implementation of sound effects and color. So while you can never predict exactly where the ball will bounce, you'll want to keep playing just to see if you can get it right the next time. With Peggle Nights, PopCap offers a bunch of new boards and a few new features, though the gameplay is more or less unchanged. Still, Peggle fans should absolutely dive in, and if you've never tried Peggle, you really should. Just make sure you've got some time to spare before you load it up.
