You Can’t Stop Progress…

World of Goo is a multiple award winning physics based puzzle / construction game made entirely by two guys. Drag and drop living, squirming, talking, globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins, and giant tongues. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore - but they don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.

• Mysterious Levels: Each level is strange and dangerously beautiful, introducing new puzzles, areas, and the creatures that live in them.

• World of Goo Balls: Along the way, undiscovered new species of Goo Ball, each with unique abilities, come together to ooze through reluctant tales of discovery, love, conspiracy, beauty, electric power, and the third dimension.

• The Sign Painter: Someone is watching you.

• World of Goo Corporation: Congratulations! World of Goo Corporation is the Global Leader in Goo and Goo Related Product, including World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Soft Drink Beverage and World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Facial Exfoliating Lotion. Succulent!

• Massive Online Competition: Human players around the world compete in a living leaderboard to build the tallest towers of goo in World of Goo Corporation's mysterious sandbox

This is one of the best indie games of last year (2008).
I don't know about you, but as I child I used to build structures out of all sorts of things. The sofas pillows, Lego, match sticks etc. This is that game but with beautiful art, a sense of humour and great music.
The story is compelling enough but the center piece of this game is the structure building and puzzle solving. Some levels can be extremely frustrating, but to finish the "worlds" in the game you don't have to finish every level.
The Wii controls are a must for this game as it's "mouse" like which doesn't translate well to the other consoles. That being said I also play this game on the PC with a touch PC and that also works brilliantly.
If there is one criticism of this game is that it's cheaper on the PC (through Steam).
