game recommendation

[misterx]

If you are fond of physics-based puzzle games (like the "incredible machines" flash game), I recommend picking up "World of Goo". I got it for $15 at target. The game has a tangible style, and is very well thought out. It is a bit like Lemmings in concept, where you have to get the goo balls to the exit, using the abilities of the goo types, but its more construction oriented. Grab a goo and pull it away from the others, and goo strands stretch out connecting to its nearest neighbors. Let go, and the strands become solid. And thus you build bridges, towers, and more. Add different kinds of goo that have different abilities, and you have to get pretty inventive to solve the levels.

I was eyeballing that from the Wii shop menu... It looked really good, and I like that sort of thing.

question... do you care if I post the pics I took of you last weekend (the ones I sent you) in an upcoming post?

Yeah, go ahead... just crop out the lumps... Makes it easier on me to steal and post to Facebook, eh?
