Metaboli's Chill-Out Pack brings casual games, parental controls

The Chill-Out Pack also offers new parental controls, including the ability to create sub-accounts for children, which allow parents to set parameters for their little ones, such as limiting playtime and deciding which games the kids can play.
Honestly, we thought it sounded like a great idea, until we discovered that the pack offers Peggle. As a warning to unsuspecting parents: Know that Peggle has the ability to tear your family apart. Seriously, you might want to hide it from the kids.

Don't be so superstitious, Joystiq!!
You guys are acting as if a simple little game like Peggle would bring about the genocides of many innocent family member as they turn on eachother like mindless animals.
...Not that I ACTUALLY PLAYED Peggle, of course...
Don't be silly.

A few weeks ago I wouldn't have recognized that unicorn. Now I'm searching for my Ipod for another goddamn fix.

The only thing worse is playing Peggle on WOW while being on Meth.

On topic, I've played Peggle and beat it (completed about half of the challenges). It was fun, but... it didn't hook me. I got the iPhone version.

Unless it has a different connotation in the UK, I call poor marketing on that "Chill-Out" pack. When I hear someone tell me to "chill out," it sounds insulting and early 90s. If they were going for the casual look, they should have used something like "Just Chillin'." I've never heard anyone say, "Oh, I'm just chilling out." Or, "I'm just chilling out with this Chill-Out pack."
Sorry for being a hater.

All I can think about when I read the game name is Arnold as Mr. Frieze.
