roll on, rolando!

So while everything in Touch Arcade’s review of Rolando is true…

Your job is to free the Rolandos from evil across 36 levels of play. The primary goal of each level is to free a minimum number of the Rolandos by getting them safely to the exit while avoid bad-guys and circumventing obstacles. Secondary goals includes collecting gems and beating the clock to increase your achievements and offer some additional replay value beyond the primarily plot.

…the review doesn’t come close to capturing the joy of actually playing the game. They roll! They jump! They bounce on things! They call you Finger, and treat you like a deity! Highly recommended iPhone fun; the perfect way to ignore your family this holiday season.

Have you jumped into world of goo? Not iPhone, but PC/Mac/Wii?

I keep meaning to check out World of Goo on the Wii, but I haven't set up my Wii account and so every time I think about buying it (when I'm playing Tennis or Bowling) the inertia of going to my PC and setting up a Wii account and buying Wii credits or whatever their called overcomes me and I just go back to playing Tennis or Bowling. Ah, pre-existing billing relationships. They make things so much easier.

My preferred iPhone time-waster is Fieldrunners (http://www.subatomicstudios.com/). Use extreme caution!

It strongly reminds me of Loco Roco on the Sony PSP. And since I loved Loco Roco, I might look at Rolando.

Oh, I'll have to learn more about Loco Roco, then! If only I had a PSP, though...
