I saw this at work and noticed it had "Steven Speilberg / EA" on the cover.
Anyone got this yet? It looks quite entertaining in terms of being creative, puzzle action. Lots of little cutesy characters too!



Boom Blox Trailer

So it's a lesser version of little big planet but I think it's still something worth looking into.

The promo copy arrived yesterday but I've yet to play it. It's getting decent scores, I'll play it tonight I think.

Yeah, I heard about this ages ago - Spielberg worked on the first Medal of Honour game too. Not bad for Mr Game Mountain!

I played this last night, it's really very good.

You should all buy it, very simple and intuitive.

EDIT: I just re-read what I had written there, that was far too restrained an opinion. The game is in fact AWESOME FUN!

Ooh, 9/10 on Eurogamer. Here's their closing statement:

"Boom Blox is brilliant alone, fantastic with friends, a superb addition to the puzzle genre and a game that will make you glad you own a Wii. Here's hoping it's only the first of its kind. "

Won't get it for a while though. Haven't even touched Lost Cities on the 360 yet. I love card games!

Ok I'm intrigued.

watching the trailer it looks a lot like they have built a game around Jenga. Having said that, there's an awful lot going on in the trailer so I could be completely wrong. haha

So how does it play? What do you actually have to do?

Argh my arm! My shoulder! The pain, the terrible terrible pain.

Lol. Well Kitt, you should have done some warm up exercises before going guns blazing on the game!

This is a first for me. A 3rd party Wii Game I really want!

Is it out in the UK yet?

From the videos I've been watching this looks amazing. The physics engine alone is extremely good. Game play looks very fun. Makes me want to buy a wii.

Been hearing loads about this game from the 1up guys. Sounds like a pretty easy game on the surface but it's deceptively deep. It incorporates those clever medal ranking systems that should be included in so many more games. I think you have to beat times to knock the towers of blocks down and depnding on the success of that depends whether you get bronze, silver or gold medals. This structure brings out the competitive streak in players and lets you get some decent replay out of the game.

Yeah it's been out for about a week now (i think?).

I thought so Shaz, my local Game must just be out of stock. Thankies!

might be hard to get a copy, my store only got about 3! may be best to look online? - cheaper/free delivery
