The 60 levels of PopCap's peg-busting, ball-bouncing sequel Peggle Nights (PC) are coming to the Xbox 360 iteration of Peggle in the form of downloadable content.

The expansion pack is due out this fall, developer PopCap announced today, noting that it "includes all the levels and challenges from the PC and Mac versions of Peggle Nights" and has been "tuned specifically for the [Xbox Live Arcade] player." No price was given.

"Peggle Nights essentially doubles the size of the Peggle XBLA universe," boasted Peggle co-creator Sukhbir Sidhu. A breakdown of the pack follows... Read more

The second free level pack for Peggle Nights is now available from FileShack.

The "Spring Fever Level Pack" adds five new colorful stages to PopCap's beloved ball-bouncing PC game, including one inspired by its upcoming Plants vs. Zombies.

The download is compatible with all versions of Peggle Nights, including the Steam release. And if you missed it before, don't forget to grab the free holiday level pack.

Causal game publisher PopCap today kicked off Peggle Fever, a three-month long "pronounced period of peg-popping pervasiveness."

The promotion is meant to celebrate the different kinds of "pure Peggle pleasure" that players can experience on a variety of platforms.

The Nintendo DS version of the physics-based ball bouncing game officially arrives at reatilers today, in the form of Peggle: Dual Shot, with PopCap confirming that the long-awaited Xbox Live Arcade and iPhone iterations will arrive within March. Furthermore, Peggle will be available for mobile phones running Android come May.

Today will also see the debut of the second free level pack for Peggle Nights (PC), and the launch of PopCap's Peggle Art Contest, which concludes on June 3. Over $10,000 in prizes are up for grabs, including trips to PopCap's Seattle headquarters, limited edition Peggle merchandise, and iPhones and Xbox 360s packed with Peggle.

"To date, Peggle and Peggle Nights combined have been downloaded more than 45 million times--yet the games remain modest commercial successes by PopCap standards," the company said today.

The first free level pack for PopCap's addictive ball-bouncing casual sensation Peggle Nights (PC) arrived today, and is now available for download at FileShack.

At a mere 1.08MB, the download adds five holiday-themed stages and ten challenges to the unicorn-starring game. The new levels can be played in either Quick Play or Duel.

The download is compatible with all versions of Peggle Nights, including the Steam release. The pack even works with the demo, though not all stages are accessible.

"We can't get enough of Peggle ourselves, so there's a selfish motive behind introducing additional levels for Peggle Nights on a frequent basis," said Peggle co-creator and PopCap studio director Sukhbir Sidhu.

More level packs will hit next year, though they may not be as cheap--PopCap noted that the holiday level pack is a $3.95 value, but is "free for the holiday season."

Steam has been a very good boy today: first he starts accepting money for Valve's super-highly-anticipated Left 4 Dead, and now he brings you, as promised, PopCap's Peggle Nights--at a deep discount, even.

The pachinko-esque ball-bouncing sequel released last month to rave reviews from Shacknews editor Chris Faylor. He didn't so much play the game as giggle at Bjorn the unicorn and eat PopCap cookies, but it was a resoundingly positive review. Now that it's on Steam, Peggle Nights' price was slashed by half, retailing on Valve's digital distribution service for $9.99. It's available now.

Seeking to further its grasp on the hearts and minds of millions, casual game developer PopCap Games today released a sequel to its unicorn-centric and rainbow-tastic PC bouncing ball effort Peggle.

Dubbed Peggle Nights, the sequel features "a dreamtime adventure of alter egos and peg-tastic action," and once again requires players to eliminate colored pegs within a certain number of shots. According to PopCap, Nights is more focused on skill than the original, with more levels set to be released as downloadable content.

A free demo is currently available on the game's official site, with the full version priced at $19.95. "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," exclaimed beloved Shacknews community member dognose.

Much like the original Peggle, Nights will soon appear on Valve's digital distribution platform Steam, with its Steam debut slated for the nebulous "next month." A list of the sequel's key improvements, as highlighted by PopCap, follow below... Read more
