    Why?
    Because today is the first time I heave heard of it, or seen video footage of it.

    And I don't have a Wii

    It's on the list Bradders... It's next on my list to buy. :)  Looks like mindless fun.

    Seriously. 4 player coop, and Free Radical has never let me down. I liked the demo, thus far, and you don't have to press A :) 

    No worries, Titty-Twist, I will definitely get Bloom Box when I get a Wii, which will be this year. :D

    Not pressing A is a compelling feature, yes :3

    I didn't realize it was out already. Thought it had a June release. Been looking forward to this for awhile now.

    this seems like the killer title nobody knows about. Looks like IGN and GameSpot ranked it through the roof too.

    Rented this tonight...

    And I'm gonna go buy it. There are tons of little games to play. You can throw stuff, shoot stuff, pull stuff, make stuff... so many options. Great game for a party and it's been lots of fun in every mode we've played in.

    The controls take a little getting used to. Lots of repetitive motion for sure. The throwing events are the hardest for my wife. She doesn't quite has the swing down to really zing the ball in there. But sometimes it's not about hitting the stack the hardest, it's placement.

    And this is the game that Steven Spielberg is behind, and i'm gonna say you really can't tell besides his name on the box and art. I think he was more of a "producer" as far as general direction. The graphics are colorful and varied. Unique and blocky for sure.

    Sound is like elevator music, but it's still light and fun. Sound effects are great too.

    Can't wait to get into the editor part of the game so I can make my own stages.

    I'd totally recommend this to anyone looking for a good Wii puzzler/party game.

    Plus it's a deal at Target for $50, when you get a $10 Target card just for buying.
