  1. World of Goo

    I'm a very fussy gamer, often owning consoles only for one or two games, and often abandoning games to ebay after about 30 minutes or so if it fails to entertain or show signs of promise. I've recently abandoned such critically-acclaimed gems as Shadow of the Colossus and Final Fantasy XII, and I'm giving serious consideration to giving up on Dragon Quest on the DS, despite having eagerly waited for it for months and only being three hours in. I'm tempted by Chrono Trigger, also on the DS, despite knowing deep-down that I'll probably play it for five hours over the space of a fortnight and then forget all the controls. I'm about six hours into Okami with perhaps another 50 to go, and despite being an utterly beautiful and joyful game, the notion that I may not be putting the final thing into the thing until fucking April fills me with dread. So with all that in mind, I hope you'll understand the gravity of the following statement: World of Goo is one of the best games I've played in about a decade.
