Het viel me op dat er nog geen topic over was, dus open ik hem maar!
Het gaat natuurlijk over het te verslavende spelletje:
Peggle.
Te verkrijgen op: PC, Xbox360, Nintendo DS, iPod en GSM's.
Korte uitleg voor de mensen die niet weten wat Peggle is;
Each board contains a number of blue "pegs" that are laid out in conjunction with the game's background picture. When the player starts each level, 20 of these pegs are randomly assigned as orange pegs, two as green pegs, and one as a purple pin that changes to any remaining blue peg after each round; a game option includes the ability to add shapes to these pegs for those who are color blind. A ball launcher is located at the top middle of the screen, and a ball catcher moves regularly back and forth along the bottom of the screen. In some levels there may be additional objects that will alter the ball's course but do not score points. Many levels feature pegs and other board features that move in a regular pattern or when struck by a ball.
The goal of each level is to clear all the orange pegs by firing balls at the field before the supply of balls are exhausted. The player starts with ten balls but can gain more by having the ball land in the ball catcher or by scoring a certain quantity of points on a single shot. After a peg has been hit, it will be removed from the field after the shot has been completed, or if the ball is stuck on the peg. The player, by clearing orange pegs, increases a scoring multiplier for the remainder of the shots up to a 10x multiplier. While all pegs score points, the player earns more for striking orange ones and the current purple peg. The player may also be awarded "style points" which are awarded for performing tricks with shots, such as consecutively striking two orange balls far apart or gaining a lucky rebound off the ball catcher; style points do not get the multiplier bonus. When the player hits a green peg, they activate the current "magic power" of the character for that level. Some powers activate immediately; one power causes a second ball to be generated from the green peg when struck. Other powers will have effects that activate on the next shot or for several more shots; one power shows the ball's path including rebounds, while another will extend the length of the ball catcher. Once all the orange pegs have been hit, the bottom of the level is replaced with 5 bins of different values that the ball will eventually fall into. The player is awarded this score in addition to any unused balls remaining to get their final score for the level.
In the regular "Adventure" mode of the game, the player attempts to complete five levels with each of the ten "Peggle Masters", followed by an additional five "Master" levels that allow the player to select any of the characters. The game features a series of challenges that require the player to complete boards under stricter requirements, such as having to clear more orange pegs or to remove all the pegs from the board. A "Duel" mode allows the player to compete against another player or the computer on the same board in attempting to reach the highest score. The Xbox Live version adds a "Peg Party" mode, where up to four players compete on their own boards using a limited number of balls, with players attempting to get the highest score.
In het kort; het is de bedoeling dat je de oranje
pegs (bolletjes) weghaalt door met je bal die oranje pegs te raken. Specials activeer je door een groene peg te raken, en elk karakter heeft een eigen unieke special.
Heb je uiteindelijk de laatst oranje peg geraakt, dan wordt de
Extreme Fever geactiveerd en belandt je bal uiteindelijk onderaan in een 'bak' die verschillende waardes hebben.
Hier een filmpje wat goed illustreert waar het bij Peggle om gaat:
Als je eenmaal de Adventure modus hebt uitgespeeld kun je aan de gang met de Challenges, die heel erg pittig kunnen zijn.
Er zijn verschillende versies van Peggle, maar de belangrijkste zijn Peggle Deluxe en de nieuwere versie Peggle Nights.
Beiden te verkrijgen
via steam, of
via de PopCap website (nu $5 voor Peggle Deluxe!).

Een enkele keer hoor je een zware en grote zucht van opluchting als iemand een moeilijke challenge heeft gehaald.
