Boom Blox

Although both my daughter and wife love the wii, it never really seems to fit my play style. Most games for the Wii seem cheap or thrown together quickly to milk the cash cow that is the Wii, with of course the occasional exception, i.e. Smash Brother, Wii Sports etc. None that I was ever really excited for though, but I can understand the allure. That has now changed though with the soon to be released Bloom Box, developed by EA and Steven Spielberg.

From the press release

Fun for kids and the entire family, BOOM BLOX offers action-packed interactive activities that takes Wii play to a new level of creativity and fun with single player, co-op, and versus gameplay. Players can explore the visceral gameplay—perfectly suited for the Wii’s interactivity—that keeps them destroying their way through brain-twisting challenges. They can interact with entertaining characters such as the Blox-laying chickens or the baseball throwing monkeys, who bring personality to the Tiki, Medieval, Frontier, and Haunted themed environments. Additionally, players can remix any level of the game in Create Mode using props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked during the game. Players can also virtually build anything they can dream up. Plus, their designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24
