Peggle is yet another example of a mobile video game that is highly successful. Originally it was a points purchase on Xbox, but due to its popularity they have made many more versions including downloadable ones for mobile phones and other devices, laptops and Ipads. The game is a simple arcade game but i find it addicting and it will be a staple in my college memories as a result of many hours of killing free time. I think it is a good example of social media's potential at its finest. The creators originally made a cheap arcade game for the Xbox, but of course nobody really buys those. So they had the genius idea to create it on a social media platform and distribute it to smart phones and Ipads, which of course has turned out much more profit and notability than they ever could have hoped to achieve if they left it alone as an Xbox Arcade game.
Cool Greg! I've never heard of Peggle, but I might have to check it out.
