World of Goo, I stumble on this game on IGF site in the early of this year. Now it finally released. You can pay 1500 Wii point for this game. Or purchase the PC version for 20.00 USD.
If you don’t know this game, please refer its wiki:
World of Goo is a puzzle computer game for the Wii and Windows (Mac OS X and Linux versions are planned) by 2D Boy, an independent game developer founded by Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel, both former Electronic Arts employees.[1][3] It was nominated for the Seumas McNally grand prize, Design Innovation Award and Technical Excellence at the Independent Games Festival.[4] It was released for the Wii’s WiiWare in North America on October 13, 2008.[5] The game is also to be released in Europe as a retail game with added content. The developer noted in an interview that “It’s not going to be a budget title, but I don’t know if it will be “full price” either”.[6]
I will experience amazing indie game on my PC. Look forward to see the gameplay.
