World of Goo

Released on October 13 2008, World of Goo is a computer game, created by 2D Boy - a startup created by two ex-EA employees. The game itself is a visually appealing 2D puzzle game in which the user builds structures in order to deliver goo balls (which also act as building block pieces) to a pipe exit. A loose storyline also helps bring a sense of importance to the users progression. Available for Windows, Linux, OSX and the Nintendo Wii, the graphics requirements for the game are rather low, and thus make the game much more accessible by the entire PC market.
