Yeah, I bought it shortly after midnight this morning, and it's just fantastic. I mean, it has really low system requirements, but it's absolutely gorgeous. The main thing is that they've actually used the physics without making it feel like it's a game about physics. Too many of these games struggle to get a coherent game concept and end up feeling like they're proofs of concept. I felt this about Braid, which was otherwise a solid game. WOG never feels like you're playing with physics though, it's just about getting your goo balls from A to B.

There must be at least 40 levels in here, plus a sandbox mode, and I assume some kind of ability to mod things and create your own content. Fantastic value for $20. I'd have to agree with IGN, it's much better quality than many full price releases. This will definitely tide me over until Little Bit Planet and Fallout 3, but it just might be good enough to keep me from playing those for a while too.
