So...back with another Video Game Friday segment and now it's on my Mac!

I haven't played a game on a computer in ages! I do have a number of games that I bought when I got my G4 PowerBook but I haven't played those in ages. I think that the last games I played on the PowerBook were Black and White and Splinter Cell. Anyway, back in December I bought the MacHeist package of software and as always there is a game (or two) bundled in it. This time one of the games was World of Goo.

Honestly, I never really gave it much thought when I installed it on the Mac mini. I installed it with the intent to play the game eventually but I never got around it. That is until I listened to a recent 1UP podcast and some of the hosts were playing the game again. I thought to myself "well if they are playing it, and I have it, I might as well give it a try". Bad move!

Well, "bad move" in a good way. The game is frikkin' awesome! It's a combination of a physics game and lemmings whereby you have to move a certain amount of goo-balls from one end of the screen to another. The goo balls have building properties so you can build structures to move your remaining goo either vertically or horizontally across a number of obstacles. The game is so addicting that I spent a number of hours solving puzzles and time just flew by! I wonder if I got any smarter ;-)

If you have the game (through MacHeist - like me) and haven't tried it - go spend 15 minutes with it and you will be hooked. If you've never bought it, head on over to amazon (link above) and get it! It's summer, who needs to be out in the sun anyway? ;-)
