Arcade games have become more popular recently, and with good cause. It's a great way for "indie" developers to promote small games, at a cheap price. One of the common favourites at the moment would have to be Peggle, and you can see why.
The game has it's pride in the simplistic but fun environments, and competetive multiplayer aspect. This is not a game that you can imagine spending days playing, but the quick drop - in and out aspect makes it perfect for parties, or online games.
As the game progresses, the mix of gameplay powers can keep the action fresh throughout the single player. The game is constantly mixing things up, to keep your interest at it's peak.
Obviously there is the problem with piracy, but I suggest buying the full game as always, to help Popcap become more than just an "indie" developer.
They deserve it.
This game is only a measly 800 microsoft points on the Xbox Live Marketplace, and with a fun single player mode, many multiplayer modes, and leaderboards, Peggle is a game you shouldn't miss, I suggest buying it.
