Best WiiWare Games of the Year

Just because WiiWare’s the new kid on the downloadable games block doesn’t mean it hasn’t had its fare share of hits in its inaugural year. Based on our editors opinions though, one title stands head and shoulders above the rest….

Best WiiWare Game: World of Goo

Runner’s Up: Lost Winds, FFCC: My Life as a King

Comments: World of Goo – cool physics, addicting gameplay, and it’s developed by an indie studio. It’s a great achievement for a WiiWare title.

Best WiiWare Game: World of Goo

Comments: World of Goo’s gameplay and graphics are really impressive. too bad it didn’t get the media mileage it needed to catch people’s attention. I do however applaud the indie devs, 2D Boy, for coming up with IP as innovative as this. Goes to show that you don’t need complex gameplay and convoluted dramatic story lines in order to have fun.

Best WiiWare Game: MaBoShi: The Three Shape Arcade

Comments: MaBoShi: The Three Shape Arcade (WiiWare) – The three different games you have going on at the same time definitely takes a bit of strategic planning and a whole lot of quick thinking. It’s an odd little puzzler that manages to put other puzzlers to shame.

Chris C:

Best WiiWare Game: World of Goo

Runner’s Up: Lost Winds

Comments: I have to admit I’m not big on puzzle games, especially bridge building puzzle games (I’m just not that smart), but World of Goo is disarmingly charming, the laughs and the fun kept this one fresh and satisfying despite my initial reservations.

Also, this article proves something I’ve known all along, Karl is weird.
