A blocky type face (all caps) for a game about blocks? Brilliant!

physics looks a little off, but level editor might make the future of this game/thing decent fun

Yeah, its casual, but it doesn't abuse what it does, it'll have user created content, and isn't a minigame fest

Sorry i've been away for the past couple of days, stupid Westell modem crapped out on me finally, and we just got it replaced

i think the best part of this video is the presenter making funny noises and moo-ing near the end.

Looks nice: they better allow us to share our user-created levels online.

wow another wii game where you use the revolutionary controller... AS A MOUSE. use some god damn motion sensing in your games. i hate when dev's call point-and-click "one-of-a-kind" gameplay or something like that.

I totally agree, this is why I couldn't get too excited about 'Trauma Center' on the Wii... It was simply mousing around with the Wii controller. It could almost have been web-based. Elebits, golf and bowling are the best examples of the Wii's uniqueness and devs should strive harder to attain that level of control.

As for BOOM BLOCKZ, I'm sure this could be a fun game, many people will likely enjoy it, but I have little interest in it.

Just like watching a BLU-RAY (ok it's not caps but still broken spelling) using my PLAYSTATION 3 with a SIXAXIS or DUALSHOCK 3 controller.

STOP SHOUTING NO I DON'T TO.

Aww..thanks for the hearts guys.

But really, Spielberg + Video Games = Unknown territory.

He's had GREAT SUCCESS! (see what I did there) in the film industry, and while not a personal favorite, really has made some good movies. The game looks intriguing and I will probably give it a try.

Gameplay looks fun enough. Do something with the graphics, though. Those explosions are horrendous. This isn't an example of "you don't need fancy graphics if the gameplay is awesome" this is an example of "we're fucking lazy and don't want to spend more than 15 minutes on textures."

As good as the gameplay may be, if the graphics immediately make me think of Club Drive on the Atari Jaguar, that's not a good sign.

It looks like a roided up version of a Russian game called "gorodki" where you have to through a stick at a structure made of wood pieces.

Point and click is kinda lame though. You know they say that the ability to throw things is what distinguishes humans from everything else. Anyone can point and click.

Am I the only person in the business who wishes that movie makers would stick to making movies? I make games and don't pretend I know anything about making film. Why do the film guys all assume they can make games?

This game does look like a lot of fun, but I'm not paying 50$ for a block simulator. Also, did this game really require Steven Speilberg to create? I'm mean, this is something that a child could quite literally think up in 5 seconds, and they waste a great film makers talents on this? Oh well, hopefully the "game that makes you cry" will be more interesting.

I wish movie people would stay the fuck in the movie world. Spielburg has absolutely zero background in videogames, and therefore has no business whatsoever being anywhere near this industry.

Look neat-o, but I'm actually more looking forward to the sequel: BOOM BLOX AND THE ATTACK OF THE PHANTOM KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL MENACE.

Lol, maybe a few years after Boom Blox comes out we'll get "Boom Blox 3: Special Edition Episode 1A" and Hayden Christensen will be edited into it.

Oh wait, wrong director =/

Those green "chemical explosions" look HORRENDOUS. I don't care how busy the system is with physics; Elebits had what look like the same sort of physics engine and it had a million things going on at once, yet still looked better than that.

That being said, if they flesh this out into a fun and less lazy-looking experience at a lot less than 50 dollars, it is promising.

A blatant but poorly executed rip off of little big planet, if this is all he could produce after two years then he might aswell quit now, i wonder what games he ripped off for his two other exclusives. Well it makes sense now why he teamed up with EA ...
