Demo of the Day: Peggle Deluxe

The downloadable Xbox Live version of Peggle has a lot going for it, most of which you'll be able to see and enjoy - likely many, many times - from the free demo version.


It's family friendly, easy to learn and play regardless of whether or not you're a gamer, and is as insanely addictive as Tetris.

At its heart, it's basically a suped-up version of pachenko. You drop, or in this case shoot, a ball down into a series of pegs. As the ball drops and pings off of each peg, the pegs disappear. The objective is to clear all of the pegs before you run out of balls. Like I said - very simple. But as the boards go on, the layout gets more inventive, the gameplay more exciting, and the whole thing just becomes impossible to put down. Don't be surprised if you find yourself yelling in delight or frustration.
