Boom Blox; Wii puzzle game

Last night we played some Boom Blox for the Wii. I wasn't expecting too terribly much from it, but it was an amazingly good time. It's basically a combination of a shooter with Tetris, Jenga, curling, and more :P There are two basic game types; aiming/shooting (self explanatory) and manipulation (ie. moving elements of the game ie. Jenga), where you're either trying to knock things down or break them apart, or trying to remove blocks from a tower without upsetting certain elements of its construction. There are a host of different games covering the two concepts.

Essentially the game is a gravity/collision physics engine, and it's really well designed. Materials behave according to their size/weight, impact, jostling, etc. quite impressively. Force + motion + motion = fun.

The multi-player is a lot of fun and can keep you playing and laughing for hours. We haven't tested it yet, but you can create levels to play and share them online as well. That should be an interesting things to test out.

Overall, a great game with a lot of fun. I ended up buying to for Amy today :P
In Real Life ™, people who aim to maximize their potential for lethality are called "dangerous psychotics" and are typically avoided by everyone who isn't forced to endure their company until someone has the opportunity to put them away or else put them down. No one likes that guy. Don't play that guy.
