WiiWare - Game of the Year

Every year we like to recognize the best in gaming on Nintendo consoles.

WiiWare - Game of the Year

The NWR Award

World of Goo

With its beautiful art direction, masterful soundtrack, and near-perfect controls, World of Goo delivers on all fronts. Sure, you're only putting together tower structures with balls of goo, but the imaginative, unique, and varied puzzles transform this simple concept into an elaborate and dynamic quest. With a slew of OCD missions to accomplish post-completion, the World of Goo Corporation mode, and the hilarious Sign Painter commentary, World of Goo offers more replayability and personality as a downloadable game than nearly all retail games released in 2008. That’s why it’s our WiiWare Game of the Year.

Runner-up:

Mega Man 9
