The controls are a bit frustrating at times. You are able to move each item counter clockwise, or clockwise, by doing one of the following two things. The first is to have your mouse pointer hover over the object and click one of two buttons in the direction you want to have the item rotated, or you can just use the mouse wheel to do the same thing. I found the mouse wheel to be a million times easier then clicking each button every single time. Moving each item to where you want to put it also was a bit frustrating as you have to wait for the items to flash a greenish color to be able to place them on the screen. If the items are red then they will revert back to their original starting position.

The game also has a great auto save feature so if you do end up quitting during a level, or after one, it will bring you back to where you left off. All in all, this game was a fun virtual building experience, but is definitely geared towards a younger audience, gamers who love puzzles, or people who love to build and don’t want a huge mess on the living room floor. With a price tag around 20 bucks, the game is well worth the purchase, but hopefully for future releases the controls, music and consistency will be fixed.

World of Goo Review
World of Goo is what platforming puzzlers are all about -- and is one of the best games of 2008.
Owing to the lack of an overarching storyline, Mount & Blade is a game that’s difficult to get into at first. If you can get past the growing pains, however, it offers a compelling, dynamic world that you are free to explore at your leisure and a combat model that is both frenetic and addicting.
