When Steven Spielberg started making games for EA we expected huge cinematic affairs that’d change the genre forever. Instead he came up with Boom Blox for Wii – a game about throwing a ball at a pile of sticks.

And we’ve found the official flash version of Boom Blox online. Turns out it’s pretty sweet. The aim of the game is to throw your ball at the structure in a way that’ll get rid of all the blue blocks in as few turns as possible, using bombs and chemical blocks and whatnot to help you. We were so impressed with this flash Boom Blox that we went out and bought the full version for the Wii. We sort of wish we hadn’t now – it’s not that great. Don’t repeat our mistake, kids!
