    Just noticed the rates and averages and you know it is awsome for a new puzzle game to get this scores, when great franchises like FarCry and CoD, Fable and Fallout and Geow are having apearance agian in this autmn.
    I'm already playing the pc version, and i have to say,give up big chainsaws and badass materialists for a while, just play this game.

    I was skeptical at first, but after playing the demo, I'm hooked.  The game insists upon itself a little bit and is a little too self-aware of being indie for my taste, but it's still awesome.  It will be the next Steam game I purchase, especially since it's perfect for play with a touchpad on my laptop.

    I played the demo and it was fun but I have to save my money for other games, I'll probably pick it up eventually.

    don't take me wrong, i said that because i'm tired of sci-fi games and its materialist developers. I don't really care about the story though, but when it comes to games like Mass Effect that you have to take it seriously, well, first thing i do is turning off the console or closing the game window.

    This game is cheap and also very small if you have a slow internet connection. only 62mb.

    I need to play this game. From all the reviews I have heard, it sounds truly great.  I will probably get it off of WiiWare.  I have a few points lying around.

    I pity the fools who do not at least try World of Goo. It's unbelievably awesome.

    the later chapters require way more speed, i dont know if a touch pad is really ideal.

    It does have a 97 on Metacritic, but it doesn't have a whole lot of reviews either. The Dark Knight had a 97 before all the reviews came rolling in. I'm still checking it out though.

    World of Goo with graphics tablet = awesome.

    (Still prefer the Wii version, though. :D )

    It's depends on how we look at critic, true that Gamespot didn't reviewed game yet, but Eurogamer's scored is 9...Eurogamer is better than Gamespot these days, whitch reviewed GTA IV in 2 pages and then rated it 10. also IGN is still a good critic site. i think it's enough. average won't stay steady like this for sure.

    I never played with a motion Controller, but an optical mouse is not enough for this game. sometimes you have to pin goo balls toghether before they fall and this requires something faster than usual so don't think that you will be comfortable with console version.
