Another Weekend

Another weekend, more games played.

The highlight of the weekend was World Of Goo, a puzzle game of sorts on the PC (also available on Wii, I believe). It was 75% off on offer for £4.74 on Steam so snapped that up. It is superb! You create structures that look like 2D molecule diagrams from balls of goo, the aim to get them near the pipe at the end of the level where a certain number of blobs have to be sucked up.

It's one of those games that leaves you with a big smile on your face as each new element is introduced. The presentation is top-notch, the puzzles thusfar have been the sort where you don't see the obvious solution but when you do you get a real 'eureka' moment, very satisfying.

Is it a casual game? Maybe a lightweight like myself should be playing more of this sort of thing, but I get the feeling later chapters will have puzzles fit to make your brain fizz.

Apart from that I played more Team Fortress 2, and also a spot of Forza Motorsport 2 - crikey, it was like driving on ice. I was sliding all over the shop, smashing into cars, braking too hard. I really need to get out of the arcade driving habit in order to get any further in this.
