Peggle on your iPod
It would seem that I am on a mission to completely derail any chance I have to properly prepare for Macworld. First I decide to perform a brain transplant on my MacBook Pro, and now I find myself playing Peggle like a mad man.We first covered Peggle last month, when a Mac native version was released by PopCap. Not content to merely suck all your time at your Mac away, the fine folks at PopCap have released Peggle as an iPod game as well. It costs $5.99 on the iTunes Store, but it will cost you much, much more in the way of lost productivity. Even the Wall Street Journal likes this game, though I am not sure when the WSJ started reviewing iPod games.
The full Mac version will cost you $19.99, but that includes lots of rainbows and a talking unicorn so really it is a steal at any price.

Peggle is definitely very addictive. Honestly, I've been very impressed with the quality of games that PopCap have produced and I can highly recommend Zuma as well. Unless, of course, you actually want to get some work done...

Peggle is indeed $4.99, but it's worth a whole lot more. Once you get through the 75-stage normal mode, you get to tackle the challenge mode. Scoring 300,000 on some of those levels is really difficult. This game retains all of the desktop versions features, and its gameplay is perfectly suited to the iPod control wheel. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Fun fact: In Korea Peggle for Mac is only 10000 Won ($10.75USD). I knew living here would come in handy someday! Oh, and Peggle is great. I have to physically stop myself from playing it at night before bed, otherwise I'd be up until dawn.

A decent review of Peggle (and very funny too):
