#6 Peggle Nights

Not sure if I've ever heard of someone not liking Peggle.

My first time through Adventure Mode was a casual game delight. I liked the art, the presentation, the sounds (like Ode to Joy, and how the peg sound effects keep going up in pitch, during a combo!!). I liked the ways to get free balls, especially balls from the excellent scoring system.

But it's when I tried out the game's more difficult content, that I really fell in love. Finishing the game's 60 "challenge levels", is one of my favorite video game achievements. I shed a tear when it gave me a giant in-game trophy for it. I really needed that trophy.

You can't just look up a solution to solve the game's harder content, since it's all semi-procedurally generated. Even guides are barely helpful. You just have to have the skill at "eyeballin' it", and making the right mildly strategic decisions.

It is a strategic and skill-based game, BUT, without all the learning and knowledge need to play most strategy games. AND, without all the dexterity needed for skill-based action games! It's an "easy to learn, lifetime to master" casual game masterpiece. (With no time pressure!! Yesss.)

CRAP I didn't have time to talk about how cool the owl's Zen Ball ability is!!!

BEST CHALLENGE LEVEL: The final one, The Decathlon, which hands you 10 random levels, and you must beat them all without failing any of them. It's like a shorter, permadeath version of Adventure Mode. Heckin exciting.
