Popcap games have become a driving force in the casual games industry, and after launching their site in 2000 they have expanded by providing demos on their site, to selling incredibly well to the general PC gaming market through the innovative digital distributor Steam.

Peggle for Xbox Live Arcade

A lot of people will immediately dismiss casual games, saying that they don’t have the immersion and longevity of a more deeply developed game. Despite this, it is clear from the first time playing Peggle that it is actually very, very addictive. The basic premise is simple, you use a pinball-like system in order to clear the screen of coloured “pegs”, using different skills provided to you throughout the game to achieve the highest score.

All the games on World Winner are skill based, that means there are no “luck-of-the-draw” elements like you would find at a casino. When you play against another contestant, the game’s difficulty is the same on both sides.
