On Computers

All right, we’re hooked. It’s called “Peggle,” $20 for Windows, from PopCap.com. At first we thought it was boring. Then after a while we thought it might have some interest. Now we’re thinking of checking ourselves into gamer rehab. Boy, is this thing addictive.

The game is a series of short shooting puzzles, kind of a cross between the classic “Little Brick Out” and pinball. Each level takes five minutes or less. This suits the game tolerance of  most people. We’ve noticed the popularity of adventure games and shoot-em-ups tends to attract people who like long play time. The short timers like Solitaire. This is in between.
