Peggle is fun. It’s a bright, happy arcade-style game. No, I don’t care if you can’t feel hardcore with bright colors, this is a game your kids could play, too. It’s like the Wii: my mom could play the Wii. The game gets bonus points for really wanting you to win. When you beat a level, it goes into slow motion for the final hit, and then you move into Beethoven’s Ninth and kick off the fireworks. Celebrate! Also, you get to start with a unicorn.
I did not enjoy Maple Story.
Desktop Tower Defense has a new edition out with a new enemy type, a new tower, a new challenge, fun mode, and some rebalancing. It is supposed to be harder with the new spawn enemies and point deductions for juggling, but I got my best score yet under the new rules. There was a tweak a day or two ago that I am looking forward to trying out. I am told that the 100-wave Challenge is currently impossible, but you might be just the guy to… no, those flying enemies are ridiculous.

More and more, I’m surprised by just how entertaining these “casual games” can be. Peggle is pretty fun, and Puzzle Quest is like electric crack. I think it’s funny that I used to dismiss them as lacking in substance.
I would call Puzzle Quest the new Tetris if it didn’t take enough thinking to detract from the zen state.
I’m a little leery of the amount of information Maple Story wants on me. It’s like an identity theft voucher. I’m gonna give it a go anyway, because it can’t be as bad as it looks, but let it be known.
Also, can we get a proper link to DTD?
Gah, thanks for the note on Desktop TD. I thought I hit Ctrl-V… fixed.
I actually bought Peggle, it’s worth it.
I can quit PQ any time I want!
Just let me do one more quest…
I like the diversity in it. Rune-mobs are a bit nuts, but capture puzzles and timed mount-training fights add a lot to the game.
Sidenote, I went and tried Maple Story…. Wow… Yeah… Can you say failed MOP (Multiplayer Online Platformer)? I do like the graphic style, but it just makes me want to play Dofus or an RO clone, just not Maple Story.
