In a world where every angry mothers group and crazy TV News station in America is trying to get games banned by quoting “studies” that show they make people angry, violent and down right crazy rapists, it’s a breath of fresh air when a study like this one comes along.
East Carolina University’s Psychophysiology Lab and Biofeedback Clinic has completed a study on the effect of casual games on sufferers of depression. The results are not only very positive but could in fact be extremely important in the field of mental health. Nearly 60 subjects, half of whom served as controls, all meeting the criteria of clinical depression, participated in the study, which had them playing one of either Bejeweled 2, Peggle or Bookworm Adventures. (All of the games are made by PopCap Games, underwriter of the study.)
GF365: "I recently bought an Xbox Series X, largely because of Xbox Game Pass. Even with the powerful new hardware, I somehow find myself playing the Xbox 360 classic Peggle."
It’ll blow your mind that peggle 2 is on game pass. I tried it, got bored pretty quickly but if you like it try it out!
After all, 'filthy' and 'casual' are both fun things to be.

Arcade racers on console and tower defence games on my phone. Love a rock hard TD game.
PC gamers can grab Peggle for free right now and keep it forever over on Origin.
can I at least get some props for that busted ass "photoshop" I made for this? lol
