i want to try world of goo!

This game looks seriously cool and I looove the little eyes on the goo ball dudes. World of Goo is also significant because it was independently developed with a $10,000 budget of personal savings from its creators, Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel. It also walked away with many awards from IGN including Best Wii Title of 2008! They give it a 9.5 "Incredible" rating which is pretty damn spectacular. It's available as a WiiWare title and for the computer.
The game environment, including the music produced by Gabler, definitely has a dark, Tim Burton-esque feel to it that contrasts well against the quirky, upbeat goo balls. Whether it’s the actual science of building towers or figuring out the mystery behind the odd semi-involved characters (e.g. the painter, MOM, the Goo Corporation) that interests you, this game will definitely make you wonder.
