Peggle
Casual puzzle games usually get boring after a few minutes and lose their touch quickly. However, there are some exceptions to this “rule” that I made, such exceptions include games such as Peggle! This game currently cost 800 MS Points and is quite fun. It also has multiplayer which adds some decent replay value to it. Another positive aspect is that while it’s a casual game, it does have some difficulty as well. The basic object of the game is to wipe out all the colored bricks/pegs of the color specified and a really awesome feature is that some epic music starts playing when there’s one peg/brick left. After that, the ball can fall into several holes, each containing a point boost. As for how limited the trial is, it lets you try out about 10 levels if I remember correctly and by the time it’s over you’ll be wanting to play the full version as it’s just that good.
Is it the best puzzle game ever? Probably not as Tetris is still more “classic” but that game becomes rather overwhelming after the first levels unlike Peggle which is more of a relaxed yet challenging game. Overall, I suggest you get the trial and see for yourself, it’s worth giving a try even if you’re not a puzzle game fan.
