WiiWare is a platform that hasn't had a whole lot of great games yet. Sure, there have been some decent titles available for download, but in all honesty most of the games available were thoroughly mediocre, and even the good ones weren't necessarily groundbreaking. At the time, WiiWare almost appeared ...

The definition of Goo in the dictionary goes along the lines of “a thick or sticky substance”. That’s certainly what you play around with in 2D Boy’s first release. Nobody would have thought messing with goo in a game would be so damn good but Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel have managed to do ...

In World of Goo, your primary objective in each level is to build structures out of balls of goo (blobs that connect to each other when placed correctly), and eventually get a tip of the structure to a pipe that sucks excess goo balls in. Each level has a certain ...

Zany, Entertaining Physics Puzzler

The concept is simple. You have a level with a pipe you need to reach in one area, and typically a starting point with a few goo-balls and a starting structure to build off of. The result, however, is zany structures, sometimes built at your leisure, but many times at ...

Thanks to indie developer 2D Boy, goo is no longer exclusively the catalyst of countless film gags and childhood pranks. World of Goo is proof of how inventively such a mysterious substance can be put to use, all the while bridging the divide between endearing twitch action and formidable ...
