SEATTLE, Washington and DUBLIN, July 8 /PRNewswire/ --     PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual games, today

first brought Peggle to Azeroth in April 2009 and got a great reception from
World of Warcraft players. We were jazzed to team up with Blizzard to make a
World of Warcraft-themed version of Peggle that's available to everyone for
free.

The WoW-themed Peggle mash-up is a joint collaboration between PopCap
Games and World of Warcraft developer, Blizzard Entertainment.
