Mastertronic have announed the imminent release of PopCap Hits on the XBox 360 – a collection of their most popular games in one bundle. Consisting of Bejeweled 2, Peggle, Feeding Frenzy and AstroPop it could well keep the “just-one-more-go” crowd more than happy over the next few months.
Mastertronic’s Product Director Neil McKenna said “Research has shown that 30 per cent of Xbox 360 owners connected to Xbox Live have never downloaded an Arcade title – which leaves a huge audience who have never considered buying one of these universally popular games. PopCap titles are renowned for appealing to everyone – young, old, male, female – making them truly mainstream titles. This collection represents significant value for money, and will prove to be a real draw for those unfamiliar with downloading titles – and also act as a permanent keepsake for fans of PopCap.”
Bejeweled 2 is the most popular casual game of the 21st Century. The franchise boasts over 350 million downloads to date and over 50 million units sold. In this classic game of gem swapping and explosive action, match sparkling gems three at a time to make them burst in showers of colour and points.
