Since its introduction in February 2007, the Peggle series -- inspired by the classic gameplay of pinball, pool and pachinko -- has been downloaded more than 60 million times for PC/Web and has garnered more than a dozen awards from leading industry critics. After launching on PlayStation®Network (US) earlier this year, Peggle again received top accolades, becoming an instant bestseller with the addition of its wildly popular, multiplayer Peg Party mode.

“Peggle has become a cult gaming phenomenon, blowing away our original expectations for the game,” said Ed Allard, vice president of strategic development at PopCap. “We are delighted to bring Peggle to PlayStation®Network in Europe. With these latest game instalments, we’re delivering even more features that appeal to Peggle enthusiasts, namely competitive multiplayer experiences and community elements that the PlayStation®Network community really enjoy.”

The PlayStation®Network adaptation of Peggle brings all the engaging gameplay action of the original PC version, including 55 levels of ball-bouncing madness, 10 unlockable Peggle Masters, Quick Play mode, Duel mode, and 75 Challenge mode levels. For non-stop competitive action, players can choose from two multiplayer options: two-player Duel mode, or Peg Party mode, where up to four players can compete against one another simultaneously.

Peggle Nights, the award-winning follow up to Peggle, transports players into the ‘dream worlds’ of each of the Peggle Masters. With five beautifully rendered and themed levels for each character’s secret dreams and aspirations, Peggle Nights also introduces Marina, an eleventh Peggle Master. The Peggle Nights add-on* for PlayStation®Network allows players to enjoy all the levels and challenges in the original PC version of the game and more: 60 levels of Peggle Nights content in the exclusive multiplayer modes; Peggle Nights Adventure mode, including the Nights story; 60 Peggle Nights Challenges; the trophy room; adventure statistics and three new PlayStation®Network trophies.
