Jun 17, 2014 - Peggle's the third game free in Origin's 'On the House' promotion, which. Unless installing applications on a Mac is extremely annoying. Internet connection, installation of pogo game manager client, acceptance of the end user license agreement for the pogo game manager and applicable iwin or pogo product you have purchased or for trial, acceptance of the iwin privacy policy, and pogo.com / origin account required to play.
I play a lot of Peggle. I play a lot of Peggle 2, too. They are my “I don’t know what to play” games, and I recommend either of them to anyone who is yet to try them.
Which is handy, because the first one is available on Origin for free right now, so you can go give it a go without any financial investment on your part. Yes, it’s as old as the hills by now, but some games are timeless in their simplicity. Peggle and it’s sequel fall into that category. Hitting pegs with a ball is a terribly basic game design concept, but Peggle is so expertly put together it will consume your thoughts.
The balance, the bounce, the perfectly weighted hangtime, it’s like watching Michael Jordan killing it for the Chicago Bulls. But with brightly coloured backgrounds and classical music. The sequel significantly improves on what the original brought to the table, but the premise remains largely the same.
If you’ve somehow missed out on this simple, yet sublime franchise, head over right now and get to it. You’ll be so glad you did.
What do these have in common? They’re each among the.
And Peggle, the youngest entry on that list of must-play masterpieces, is from EA Origin. EA Origin’s On the House program has Peggle up for grabs for a limited time, with both Mac and Windows PC versions available to download. This isn’t a trial version; once you’ve downloaded the game, it’s yours to keep. Sure, Peggle normally costs $5. But just as water can be obtained for free, so too should something as essential as Peggle. (Once in a while, at least.) You’ll have to be an Origin member, but signing up for EA’s online storefront comes at no cost to you. Electronic Arts’ and PopCap Games’ puzzle game is simple, as all the best puzzle games are.
Players choose from a roster of fantastical Peggle masters, each one with their own special skill. From there, they launch a number of marbles at a board full of different-colored pegs.
Think pachinko, but you’re competing for points and power-ups instead of cash. It’s engrossing in the best kind of way — the kind that creeps up on you, latches on and doesn’t let you go until you have trounced every possible level and attained the top spot on the high score leaderboards. The only potential downside is you will get “Ode to Joy” stuck in your head, possibly forever. But there are worse things.
