XBLA Peggle gets multiplayer, 'online modes and features'
In an interview done by the folks at Microsoft's Gamerscore Blog – powered by questions from Evil Avatar – PopCap's Greg Canessa confirms that the XBLA release will include "online modes and features" including multiplayer, but didn't offer any specifics short of that (co-op? versus?). You can check out the video after the break to hear it for yourself (scrub ahead to 2:40 to catch Greg's comments). Consider us pleased ... just send that royalty check over to our offices at 1337 Joystiq Way, alright PopCap?

Don't this the Peggle man....
Also if you bought the The Orange Box for the 360, do you get Peggle Extreme for free?!

I swear the unicorn is a serial killer.

This game requires more violence: Hardcore blood spilling type :P
...Hey, don't blame me, violence sells, lol

How can one have cooperative pachinko?
boxmyth @ Feb 8th 2008 8:55PM
Geezus. I just tried this game for the first time. I may just buy the Arcade version. I really like bouncing things.
Damn you, fun casual games!

America is to crack as Japan is to pachinko.
Anticrawl @ Feb 8th 2008 9:01PM
Oh and pachinko is peggle.

Isn't it ridiculous? Such a simple concept, yet so fun to play. It's the fever, man! The fever!

One of the best casual games ever!
Peggle Extreme was included in the PC version of The Orange Box.

I honestly believe that Peggle cannot be explained: it has to be experienced.
Try to see if you could get hold on a PC demo.

So will we hear you guys crowing about it on the next episode of the Joystiq Poyadcast (hint, hint)?

It would be awesome if they put the Peggle Extreme maps with the XBLA game or atleast up for DLC. I would buy 'em on the spot.

My Mom plays Peggle every night. I introduced it to her last year. She likes pop cap games. Mostly the matching colors or jewel type games, but I wasn't sure how she'd take to Peggle. Needless to say, she's addicted to the max!

Peggle Extreme isn't that good. It's only about 6 stages long. You can finish it in 30 minutes or less. It's got new level designs draped in Orange Box themes. The ones featuring GLaDOS's voice are my fav.

Peggle already has multiplayer. It's called Duel Mode. What's the news here?
Yipwoop @ Feb 9th 2008 10:28AM
Ah, the fact that it will be online multiplayer instead of local. Nm.
