Casual hit Peggle storms retail

The title combines elements of pinball, Japanese arcade cult pachinko and traditional gaming progression design, and has proved a big hit on Apple’s iPod – thanks partly to its controls which suit the device’s scroll wheel.

Focus MD Craig Johnson said of the release: "We're very excited about launching Peggle because it's so unique, charming and loveable. PopCap's titles really are a breath of fresh air in the PC games space.

PopCap’s European director of business development Mark Cochrane added: “Nobody can really be told what Peggle is like - you just have to play it for yourself. With that in mind, we are delighted to bring it to retail to give even more people the opportunity to experience the power of Peggle.”

The title is already on store shelves with an RRP of £9.99.
