Though it pains us to say it, everyone needs some Peggle in their lives. Fortunately, then, PopCap’s priced the iPhone version at $4.99. Amazing.

According to Joystiq, the game features all of the original content and a double-tap zoom view and scroll wheel for precision aiming.

Buy it. And if you haven’t got an iPhone or iPod Touch, buy one of those. Buy everything.

Peggle lands on the App Store May 12 for iPhone and iPod Touch.

PopCap has yet to price the title, but Joystiq got its hand on the game, and believes it will cost between $5-6.

More and more of our favorite casuals are heading to Apple products. Time for us to get on board we reckon.

PopCap announced today a free Peggle add-on for World of Warcraft.

It includes WoW-themed backgrounds, a custom “talent tree” and a new “/peggleloot” option, allowing players to “roll” for loot based on the best Peggle shot.

PopCap previously released a Bejewled add-on for WoW, and you can get both over at FileShack.

The Major’s confirmed that Peggle’s up on Live.

The PopCap puzzler costs a mere 800 MS Points, and will make your mum/wife/children think you’re not obsessed with having sex with virtual prostitutes in Liberty City.

A good thing. Buy it.

PopCap’s announced casual favourite Peggle for DS, as reported by PocketGamer.

The game is being made by Q Entertainment, the company behind hardcore “niche” titles Rez and Meteos.

Peggle will release on the Nintendo platform towards the end of this year. There’s no fixed date.

Acocrding to this, the beta version of the iPhone SDK has been downloaded over 100,000 times since it was launched last week.

In addition, both Namco and PopCap have pledge support for the platform with Bejeweled, Zuma, Peggle, Pac-Man and Galaga all confirmed for release.

Still no idea when you’re actually going to be able to use the App Store on iTunes and actually play any of this. Quite exciting though, isn’t it? Apart from the Peggle bit, obviously.

Last week’s GDC was a strange affair that threw up more questions than answers. While it carried the predicted unveiling of Gears of War 2 and a Microsoft keynote holding traditional big hitters such as Fable 2 and Ninja Gaiden II, the event’s main speech’s message was by no means “the norm”. Yes, the blood, swords and guns were all where they were supposed to be, but at the core of John Sheppard’s keynote was a theme of radical change that permeated the entire conference, and one that left both developers and platform holders alike chewing their nails.

So says this. We hate Peggle, but we can’t ignore it, apparently, because everyone else thinks that watching a ball bounce around for hours on end is a good way to use what little life you own. So, begrudgingly, here’s some news about Peggle. The XBLA version of the PopCap game is supposedly going to have levels you can pay for.

Satisfied now?

We love Peggle. So it comes as great news that the upcoming XBLA version will include online multiplayer options. We think this means two of you will be able to watch something happen that you have virtually no control over simultaneously, but that would just be cynical. There’s a movie through the link explaining everything.

This is the last story we write about Peggle. According to this, a previous confirmation that nonsense, random, depressing casual game Peggle is coming to DS isn’t true.

“We have ambitious plans for many of our titles including Peggle, and are eager to bring its peg-popping pleasures to as many appropriate platforms and devices as possible,” said PopCap’s Greg Canessa in a press release, “but Nintendo has not approved this product, we have not signed a developer to port Peggle to DS, and we have not green lighted this project.”

In a word: “whoops”.
