I love them. Most outrageously fun game since We Love Katamari - for me at least - and similarly dark in its strange way.

Was gifted it on steam by a mate, who felt guilty for pirating it. I have played through to the Virtual world, strange little game but thus far immensely rewarding and fun.

And sorry for the nasty things I said about the European retail release, Ron.

One of the best things I have played.

On any platform.

Ever.

Even the wife paid attention.

I can't see it working on Xbox Live, at least not until MS bring out a pointing device.

mazzl - There's no chance of the game coming out on 360 or PS3. As 2D BOY have said, it's a game that requires a fast moving cursor, which the consoles can't replicate.

ED209 - I feel like I may be falling for some sort of trick, but unless you're sending your comments to EG by mail, I'm suspicious you DO have the internet. The game's tiny - get it from http://www.2dboy.com and put it on a USB stick.

I was / am ticked off about the delay of the game in Europe due to retail policy bullshit.
However that is aimed at the publisher not the developers.
Most of my rants are directed to publishers these days! Friggin' suits without a clue about good games!

I bought the game directly from the devs and it was worth every Euro. :)

I played the demo when it was out, and I simply loved it...really.

I bought it a week ago, and damn, that's great.

I'm not done yet, I play it little by little to preserve it (switching between wog & nwn 2), but I love entering a new level, read the freaking-non-sense-painter-sentence and say "WTF is that all about again".

Then I turn my brain on and try to understand the level's logic.

it's a really great game, Thanks 2Dboys, it's fun, charming, simplisticly (is that english?) beautiful ... and cheap.

Hats off

Ace game, well done 2D Boy.

In an alternate world where EA had a clue, they could have developed and published it.

Game of 2008 for me. It's been a while since a played a game made with such personality and the love of the developers oozes from every pipe.

You know what makes me depressed?

IF they posted a story about Console X doing Bettter than Console Y.. we'd be on the 5000th comment by now.

But yet.. Talk about one of the best games of the last 12 months.. and we get 20 comments!!!!

WTF is going on?!?!?

I can only presume the kids that play games nowadays are more interested in the marketing and the sales of the console itself than the games you playh on it?

Which is a shame....

As THIS is THE best game i played lsat year (braid got close.. but lost point s dor being up itt's own arse)

Well, the key thing about console wars articles is that they provoke controversy within the different groups of inexplicably devoted fanboys to enormous faceless corporations.

I read the interview and enjoyed it, but wouldn't be compelled to comment unless I had something additional to say.

Love the game and love these guys. Even though they have no plans to make this for DS I still hope they come to their senses. I'd buy it again and, creezus, imagine how many copies that would sell!!!

I'm not a PC gamer, and I don't have a wii, but I have much love for the Goo and all in and around it's world.
It's always good to see whimsy and creativity producing something fun.

As an aside I just started playing around on the BigVine prototype and growing my tree is exactly like trying to maintain and style dreadlocks - how odd.

Really need to get this. Most likely on the Wii just so the poor thing can be turned on once in a while. Sounds like the sort of thing I'll love.

I read in another interview somewhere that there was zero chance of a DS release. Not because it wouldn't be a great game to play on the go or because it wouldn't be well suited to DS controls. It's just too resource intensive. The physics require more processing power than the DS can muster.

And it's true. The physics make the game. Without them, it would just be "connect-the-dots."
