That’s right, I’m seriously addicted to World of Goo .  I’ve been playing it for the last day or two or three straight.  (Yeah, I’m not sure what day it is.  Vacation rocks.)  Also, the irony is not lost on me that I’m sick and sneezing goo the whole time I’m playing.  It’s like my own little world of goo to go with the virtual one in the game.  As a bonus, some of the goo in the game is also green.

Anyways, World of Goo falls into the physics/construction game genre, but it’s such a beautifully executed game.  Each level looks different from the previous level, and each level is really interesting.  The music is epic.  The plot is fun and mysterious.  Everything about the game is great.  I haven’t finished it yet, but I assume the ending is cool.

I’m not sure what made my husband spontaneously buy it for me (I could probably ask since he’s sitting just a few feet away.  Nah.  Please post it in the comments, honey.) but it made a really great gift.  Looks like it’s available for Mac, Windows, and Wii.  (It’s available for instant download gratification!  I’m playing it on the Mac, which is single player.  Apparently the Wii version supports up to 4 players.)

Come on and let the Goo times roll!
