Review of game: World of Goo

In a word: addictive.

In 348 words:

I think I just played this game for an hour straight. I'm not actually sure because I was so immersed in the cute little Physics game that I didn't realize what was going on around me (not that anything did happen). WOAH! My computer clock just scared the hell out of me and moved the clock forward, so I thought I'd just sat there for an hour. Any way, this is an art-work game, but a game none-the-less. It's not as adventurous as Half-life or Command and Conquer but it has a charm, The kind of charm where you stay in all day playing it on a rainy afternoon just to see what kind of scaffold you will have to construct next.

Upon first seeing this I thought "what the hell?!" then I was shown what to do by a friend and I immediately fell in love. I'm a fan of almost any Physics game but this one stands out like a tree in a field of grass. The simple yet Beautiful Design of 'Goo' makes up completely to lack of explanation, but nowadays every little thing in a game is printed out in bold writing, so it's nice to have a break from all the seriousness.

The game play is fresh and simple. Connect the blobs. That's all. A certain level of ingenuity is needed but only a low level. I had an absolute blast while playing this and at the end of the demo I felt a massive sense of accomplishment and pride. There is a massive range of levels such as, lengthening a frog's tongue, building across cliffs and a "regurgitation" level - my favourite by far!

I would definitely recommend this game to any one who has a Wii or PC, whether young or not so young, you will have as much of a blast as me. I was also astonished when I found out this game was only made by two men and to them I say "well-bloody-done" and do you think you could give me a job when I graduate from Uni?

This is not a review.

I just thought I would write a little about myself.

Well...
I'm 16 and I'm taking my GCSEs in 2 months. Not sure I’ll do too well.
When I'm older I would like to make video games. I am a very big fan of games and PC is my thing, planning to build one in the summer but i don't know if I’ll have enough money.

I’m starting to think i should get out on my bike more, but the weather in London sucks and i find it quite hard to breathe on the heavily polluted roads.

I do have to say it's quite hard being a teenager in London as every one thinks you're either going to destroy all in sight or Blast out bangin' tunes. I do have to contradict this and say that I keep my music at a reasonable level and pay respect to anything that isn’t mine (unless it belongs to someone i really, really hate).
I will only ever get angry in public if the government enrages me by putting up train fares AGAIN or if some one starts insulting me (or if I see my ex).

I enjoy such things as: Crap films, Death note, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, The Terminator, Resident evil, most music (metal, grime, dub step, electro ect), Command and conquer (all of them), Ghost in the shell, the mighty boosh. Well you get the idea.

Back to video games; I’m not the average nerd seeing as I’m slightly under weight. Video games have become a sort of niche now-a-days sporning such shows as Pure Pwnage (pronounced pure ownage), Zero punctuation and Mega64, two of my favourite shows ever!
Though recently Game developers have shoved having fun up their arses and have made games co-op art works. i know it has to be said that some games are art, such as Pac man and spore but modern games aren’t compelling. Sure the story is good but is the game play addictive? Is it a challenge enough without pissing me off? i do miss games that a simple grind as apposed to a complex button mash grind.

Any way...
I love old films! Especially crappy old films!
They make me smile.

Also preferably not blogs for suggested reviews, I’m not a big fan of reading.

Ask if there’s anything else you want to know.
