Much like we were, Penny Arcade was driven into a frenzy of Blox-booming desire by the recent Boom Blox preview video. What sounded at first like a mildly diverting concept has become the kind of thing we'd basically want to play all the time.Tycho's enthusiasm for Steven Spielberg's latest (thing he's attached to in some unclear way) goes beyond wanting to play the game constantly. The fictional character based on the Penny Arcade writer wants to play Boom Blox not just while the Wii's on, but the rest of the time -- and meets with a somewhat unpleasant user experience with the "tabletop version" of the game. They're called Boom Blox and not Tumble Harmlessly Blox, after all.

Also, This week's VGCats is two comics. Scott said he changed them back & forth but I haven't seen the other one(Not the Phoneix Wright boobs one).
Anyone have a link to the other one?

I don't feel this game... Kinda just seems like Tetris with animal faces on them.

Except Tetris is a godgame (meaning, it is a golden standard), and Tetris has blocks that fall into place -- then disappear.
BoomBlox explodes in your face... because you throw a block at the other block thing, that launches the block thing, and tosses the other block into the air, hitting blocks up above, to tilt the block-seesaw, tapping an explosive block. And BOOM.
...doesn't sound like Tetris to me. O_o
