Building Bridges in the World of Goo

The World of Goo (compare prices) is unlike anything you have ever seen. Combining stunning graphics, weird sound effects and a whole lot of goo, World of Goo challenges you to build structurally sound bridges, ladders and towers while battling the effects of gravity, fluids and air flow. Since you have to experience it to really understand what it's all about, I recommend downloading the demo. The game is rated E for everyone and will be available for PC, Mac and Linux. This is truly a game for everyone.

Even grown-ups really want fun new toys for the holidays. We'll help you choose the best ones.
