Review
World of Goo
World of Goo is the funniest and most interesting game I've played that revolves around Goo ever! It's a funny puzzle game where you have to guide Goo back into the sewage system. But there are different kinds of Goo to help you do this, for instance, Black Goo will be your basic Goo to connect to each other for creating towers and bridges, Green Goo is re-connectable unlike the black Goo, Red is exploding Goo and white Goo will create a connection that looks a little bit like snot! 2D Boy has certainly done a good job in creating a game that is not only really fun to play, but gamers are also able to obtain this game for a mere 10 bucks!
Not only is World of Goo a simple puzzle game with a hell of a lot funny sounds and amazing levels which will make you crack your brain, it also includes a small story line where ( by solving the many levels) you are helping the world become cleaner for everyone as you put all the Goo where it belongs.
World of Goo is a guarantee for fun and is worth about 4 hours of game time, however with all the achievements in each level you'll be playing it over and over and over again.
The game is available on PC, Wii and Ipad
Upcoming
Star Wars: The Old Republic
And at last, the moment will be there (somewhere in 2011) with the long expected Star Wars: The Old Republic Update. This update features many great things to improve the experience of gamplay for example:
-there will be two different Jedi classes of which to choose from. It's either the "knight" that focuses on fighting with the lightsaber, or the "consular that chooses to fight by using the Force.
The game also introduces a computer controlled player which you are able to command around to do many of the things that you don't want to do for example: crafting (in this case, using the artifice or biochem skills), gathering crafting materials (in this case, bioanalysis and slicing), and lower-level mission tasks.
-In addition to having a "slave" companion, Bioware also introduces a PVP area where Republic characters are able to fight against Empire characters on the planet of Alderaan. At this PVP area there is a defending team, which is trying to defend turrets from being destroyed and the attacking team which is seeking to destroy it for their galactic warship will be destroyed by the turrets.
Although the PVP areas are not available for players who just bought the game, over-time (when a higher level of experience is reached) they provide a fresh and exciting twist to the game's original storyline.
Having played some of the evil characters in the game already, I found it hard to get excited about the Jedi characters, because they are not equipped with jetpacks, nor able to shoot lightning bolts... However, for the good guys or real team players out there, these new Jedi classes will prove to come in handy during quests and certainly while doing fights together. The final game promises a lot: deep storyline, companions, PVP and much more which many Star Wars fans have been dying to see, though you have to wait a little longer for the game will come out SOMEWHERE in 2011.
