    I just had to come in here and mention this game. It is hands down one of THE best games I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

    The concept, the presentation, the music, the gameplay, the level design. Absolutely stunning game. Thoroughly recommend anyone reading this to try it out. You'll love it I promise!

    How high have you got in the WoG Corporation? I built an absolute monster of a tower - brilliant engineering - got to about 26m and 110th in the world :)

    Then it collapsed :(

    i've been playing it for an hour now!, terrific game btw and very innovative, gameplay is alot of fun and very addicting, with good amount of variety!. the physics are awsome, also i like the art direction and level design, some of the music is spot on and they fit the game very well..for some reason this game reminds me of portal(one of the best games i've played in a long time!)...anybody looking for high-quality gameplay and pure fun should play this game.....

    Got in on Steam a week ago, it is a glorious game. That...and I got Overlord for $9.99 this weekend. Probably the most fun I've had in a few months, reminds me of Sacrifice....

    It runs in a really low resolution, so I think so. Pretty fun, don't know if I'd go for the whole game though.

    If you go to Program Files -> World of Goo -> properties -> config.txt you can change to the resolution you desire. Example i change mine to 1280x800 much nicer :)
