Peggle Extreme now free on Steam

by Griffin McElroy on Dec 13th 2008 3:30PM

If you've been anxious to take a stab at the eighth-best game that came out last year, but you don't want to pay any money for said stab, and you also don't want to play it unless it incorporates elements from various Valve franchises, then you're outrageously picky. Fortunately, Valve has acquiesced to your bizarre list of demands -- Peggle Extreme, the miniature version of PopCap's hit title which includes levels based on Half Life 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2, is now free to download on Steam.

Previously only available in the PC version of The Orange Box (or from a demo offered to NVIDIA customers), this Plinko-tastic title offers ten Valve-themed levels, five "master challenges", a multiplayer "duel mode", and a Unicorn with a headcrab impaled upon its domepiece. If that doesn't sell you, we're not sure what will.

:awesome:

Second'd

i have all three and i must say that extreme is the second best (nights, bleh).

deluxe is MILES above extreme though. highly recommended if you can get it for 10 or less.

Peggle is the closest you'll ever get to digital cocaine.

I first heard that saying on a review for Advance Wars. Just thought I'd say.

So that's why my eyes are so bloodshot right now. I just played it for two hours straight - JESUS CHRIST.

I-I can quit any time I want to guys...really, it's not a problem...just...just one more click...it's all I need...to get Extreme Fever...*shiver*

Has a release date been given for Peggle on XBLA? I'm really trying to save some spacebucks for that one... which isn't too difficult at the moment.

I love Valve

can't argue with free games.. thanks.

Kind of off topic but what is happening with Peggle coming to the xbox live arcade?

Ohshit. I just noticed that face in the sun for the first time. I'm not sleeping anymore.

SMB3 did the same thing to me, man, so many years ago.

How did you not see the face in SMB3?

@ foetoid

I believe that mowdownjoe means that he couldn't sleep because of the creepiness of the face of the sun in smb3.

incidentally, that peggle image made my eyes bleed.

...in a good way...

I refuse to download this simply because of the general disturbingness of the headcrab unicorn.

Thatisall.

Funny, thats exactly why I'm downloading it

I got so excited for a second reading the headline but then remembered I already have Extreme.....I was thinking of deluxe.

and of course I nearly beat the last level on the mobile verison the other day before my enV bricked, and I had to have it replaced and start over. :(

i just downloaded, played it.
I've never played Peggle before, and i have to say, IT WAS PRETTY AWESOME.
but unfortunately, there were only 10 levels, so i uninstalled it.

Hope you enjoy your newfound 500kb free space.

Plinko-tastic?

Don't you mean pachinko?

pikachu

Well, Plinko works, too. Is the game from the Price is Right obviously inspired by the Japanese gambling machines? Yes.

But it still fits.

*Loads up Steam*

So I'm not the only one eerily reminded of Plinko by this game! Awesome!

When you beat the level and the little bonus score chutes pop up. Thats when it reminds me the most of Plinko.

Thanks joystiq.

That was worth it for the portal themed level alone!

I can't believe this little beauty (extreme, not peggle itself) had evaded me up till today.

Anyone that doesn't have Steam, I suggest to download it and make an account; tons of cool games on it like this, World of Goo, AudioSurf, etc.

Already had it (thanks, Orange Box!), but this is pretty cool for anyone who doesn't have it already.

I'm not addicted to it like others are... but it's definitely fun. And the Extreme version is just funny for it's Valve theme. Nothing better than combining headcrabs and unicorns!

I played the demo a lot. Now getting the game for FREE is pure awesome. I love Valve and I hope they never change. (except more dedicated servers on L4D) :D.

I somehow already had it. I think itcame with the Deluxe version of half-life 2 or something

Read the article, it came with The Orange Box.
