Thanks KC! I don’t write reviews often, but I like to assume that the reader knows nothing about it when I do – it makes the review more useful, and it helps people understand what I am talking about. Glad to see it’s at least somewhat affective.

Your review was very well-written. I learned more about this game than I have in other reviews, *including* the information posted on its own website.

Too often, reviewers somehow assume that their readers have already played the game, and/or know the basic ideas behind it. That really annoys me.

A good review should always start with a simple overview of the game and some description of the game objective. No opinions — just the facts. THEN, they should provide opine about how well it worked, how it played, how it looked, etc.

Your reviews generally do that.

I liked WoG. It was OK. I was sort of underwhelmed though (something, i’m not sure, maybe it was that it was hyped a lot, or I was expecting something slightly different) slightly. It didn’t have that crazy fun factor you get when playing other physics games, but then again it wasn’t made to compete with those

However i loved the graphics and music (my fav is Red Carpet Extend o matic)

One great free online physics game: http://fantasticcontraption.com/
