World of Goo is a strange animal: An innovative, two-dimensional, physics-based puzzler, possessed by both adorable, cute graphics, and delightfully macabre writing and themes.

Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People just became about as cool and attractive as possible. Well, that’s not true — I won’t be satisfied until Senor Cardgage gets more than an offhand mention in the games, but it’s pretty close — Episode three, Baddest of the Bands, is going to contain the ultimate glam [...]
