Psyringe: Pinball without flippers.
Very very casual, but can be fun. It's a free game and a small download, can't really go wrong with it.
I'd like to add that there's a 'Making of Peggle' video or blog out there somewhere, and they mention that they got the idea from Pachinko machines. I believe in Pachinko you have to catch a minimum number of balls to 'win' at the game. IIRC, you get some tickets that you take around the side of the arcade and get a candy bar or something small (so its not classified as gambling). I'd like someone from Japan to correct me on this, though, my memory is hazy many years later. Very very casual, but can be fun. It's a free game and a small download, can't really go wrong with it.
Anyway, the devs said that the stream of balls was detracting from game play, so they limited it to just one ball, and made some of the pegs required to finish the level.
I'd highly recommend it, I have sunk many hours into it and it's family friendly. Peggle Extreme - not so much.
