@wardrox: THIS year. Dammit, how did I miss that. Okay, everyone, disregard everything I've said, I'm an idiot. Also the next game in the Radiator sourcemod series might just be the best game that comes out this year.

@David Macphail: That’s not fair, I’m almost 30% certain that he played Torchlight.
I think it was mentioned once on some forum thread or something :j
(Although I am a bit surprised that it beat Torchlight, I can see why it did.)

i liked world of goo. but somehow i still like the old game it was derived of more… but i think thats mostly because i have a fetish for right angles and killing trains with funny bridge crashes.

I played it on the Wii. It was still awesome.

It really is a great game. Play it on PC though, don’t bother with the Wii version, imprecise Wiimote-itis makes for a darn frustrating experience.

I dont really see the fuss to be honest. It has less depth than many online flash games, and while it is kinda challenging it seemed more like luck that once you had figured out the ‘solution’ it wouldnt always work and would take a few trys of the same thing.

Ya know, a cheap gaming PC (decent enough to run crysis) costs about $500 nowadays. Even if you don’t know how to do put one together, ask a friend who does. We love putting these things together.

Two reasons that World of Goo nearly was, but isn’t my game of the year (that I played, not of that year), if not for two reasons.
1. It’s well hard. If you’re me, anyway.
2. I played Fallout, and even though that was also a bit tricky (again, if you’re me, anyway,) I couldn’t access Steam for like a month so I had to play that.
