"These are 4 solid games in PopCap Hits, all of which are incredibly enjoyable for almost anyone. Even the hardcore of gamers can’t deny playing Peggle at least once. If you’ve often seen someone on your friends list playing Peggle and had a snigger, then I strongly advise you to at least download the trial, as Peggle alone makes this worth having."
Whilst it is undeniable that Peggle and Bejeweled 2 are essential if you are a fan of the puzzle genre, it is equally apparent that the other two titles that share disc space with those bad-boys are completely inferior by comparison. And that is why, even at a budget price, the first volume of PopCap Hits presents a false economy.
Those without access to Xbox LIVE and other avenues aside, the four titles on display are also available elsewhere, on other platforms, for a comparitively cheaper price. There will be more volumes in this series on offer in the coming months, including some other minor classics that can be bracketed in with the superior duo of corkers enthused about here. Even with that in mind, caution should be taken and if you are a child of the internet age, perhaps try selecting the cream of the crop as standalone purchases rather than picking up this or any future releases.
Gaming Union has just released it's first Episode of "The Good, The Bad, and The Fugly", a weekly video series that gives quick summaries of all the game reviews in the past week.
Agreed, though everything I really want isn't coming along till the end of the year...
What’s better than getting a new game? How about getting four games on the one disc? Here we have some of the most addictive games all bundled together for the first time. Astropop, Feeding Frenzy, Bejeweled 2 and Peggle are all present on the disc, but also available to download individually from XBLA. It would be fair to say that Bejeweled 2 and Peggle are the better known games in this package, so I’ll leave them to last; but what of Feeding Frenzy and Astropop? Well I diligently played through them and these are my thoughts on them.
