Peggle? Really? Oh yes.

Peggle makes a tribute to Valve's Source games (except for Left4Dead, which is understandable when you factor in development time) in a fun to play, thirty minute package of greatness.

Oh and did I mention it's free?

This was a triumph.

I've beat Portal now my third time.

I have a hype rule: when a game gets so hyped that you can't meet a gamer without getting a dose of the game, then it usually is a run of the mill game. We've become so jaded by advertising, that we expect that if everyone knows of the game, it's because of an awesome ad campaign. So when you hear about how AWESOME Portal is, you start to wonder if it's really just ad dollars speaking.

It's not.
