Peggle in Undercity

So we put a game inside yo game so you can play while you play…

In what can surely be considered a bizarre form of meta gaming, Popcap has announced that you can now play Bejeweled and Peggle within World of Warcraft.

I can only imagine a raid leader’s frustration as he angrily asks his healer: “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” only to discover that FuzzyNuttz the shaman was busy trying to get the green dots in Peggle.

The Bejeweled and Peggle add-ons function like any other WoW addon: you extract them to the addons directory and launch them from within wow with a /bejeweled or /peggle command.

The add-ons are being offered for free.

I wonder if they’ll allow this on role playing servers—”Be gone, young Druid, for I am too consumed with Peggle to worry about what is happening in Moonglade this morn…”

   27 Apr 2009 ~ 4:42pm Ryan Meray | ctechsinc.com Are you kidding me? They took one of the most addictive games on the planet (Peggle, of course!), and put it inside one of the most addictive games on the planet? Do they have any idea what they've done? The laws of physics they're violating?
   
   Sock sales are going to skyrocket.

    28 Apr 2009 ~ 5:02pm DrLiam World of Warcraft is making me cry because if your getting bored within a game then it can't be that exciting of a game. Which means you got to ask yourself, why are you playing something in which you have ti kill time while you kill time? Or maybe I just miss the point of MMORPGs all together.

    28 Apr 2009 ~ 5:31pm primesuspect I could see this coming in handy when you're on a 7.5 minute flight or something. But that's usually when you pee/eat/drink

    I had no idea I would find this game as engaging as I do. I really wish I had started 2 years ago, seriously.
