Super Monkey Ball Gets In On Some Of That Hot Peggle Action
Everybody loves Popcap's Peggle. Everybody loves monkeys. Sega does the math and gets Super Monkey Ball Bounce, or as I'm going to call it — Seggle.

Peggle 2 Marriage Proposal Level Had 'Nope,' Just In Case
Rob and Shireen are bigtime Peggle fans. Big enough that Rob went to PopCap and asked if they'd help him pop the question. Hell yes they would! Game studios love this kind of thing.

Peggle 2: The Kotaku Review
Peggle is a puzzle game that involves clearing colored pegs from a board by shooting balls from the top of the screen, but that's not what the game is about. It's about getting to the explosively colorful celebration at the end of each level, and Peggle 2's celebrations are the most satisfying yet.
Peggle 2 is getting multiplayer via free DLC. A recently published Facebook post by Popcap's Jared Neuss outlines their post-release plans for Peggle 2, which include a free piece of DLC adding the multi-player Duel mode from the first Peggle, along with regular updates to "expand and add to" the game's world.
Peggle 2 is coming Dec. 9 to the Xbox One via Xbox Live. This comes from PopCap, in a preview of the game in VentureBeat yesterday. Peggle 2 will have 120 levels and run $11.99.
Peggle 2 will be out "a few weeks later in December" and not on the day Xbox One launches (Nov. 22), PopCap said. An earlier listing by Microsoft called it a launch-day title. The game is a timed exclusive to Xbox One.

Stop Making Peggle 2 So Damn Sexy, PopCap

Like Peggle? Well Peggle 2 is an Xbox One launch title. And Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare is hitting the console next year. Both are coming to Xbox One first.
Remember that awesome Peggle 2 announcement? Here's the same announcement, only more extreme. We're talking like, unicorns and explosions type of ridiculousness. And it's official!
Bubble Witch Saga Makes Me Appreciate Facebook Games' Manufactured Limitations

What Does The Big EA Buyout Mean for PopCap Games (and for Bejeweled in World of Warcraft)?
