We usually preface our reviews with a (hopefully) entertaining preamble, but in this case, we need to cut to the chase. PopCap Hits Volume 1 contains Peggle, Bejeweled 2, AstroPop and Feeding Frenzy in a single package...

Peggle is amazing; Bejeweled 2 is amazing; The other two games are also pretty good

AstroPop doesn't support 60Hz; Clunky bare-bones interface; Lazy XBLA ports with nothing to attract existing fans

It's lewd, crude and disgusting....and a whole lot of fun!

+ Fantastically realised world. + 100s of hours of content. + Immersive story elements. - Space combat could be further developed. - A few bugs like broken quests typical of new MMOs. - Early player versus player battles can be unbalanced.

At long last, BioWare and EA have flung wide the doors to the Galaxy Far, Far Away. Can this new take on the MMORPG make the jump to hyperspace?

BioWare-style storytelling flawlessly integrated into MMO gameplay; Huge game with hundreds of hours of content; Companion system ensures you can always progress; Fast-paced and rewarding PvP Warzones; Top notch music and voice acting

UI needs to be more customizable; Needs more explicit tutorials for non-MMO players
