Of course developers build bells and whistles around it to make an experience out of it, but some concepts that have not even needed. Nintendo's new puzzle game You, Me, and the Cubes is such concept."

"If you knew in advance that you would be stranded on a desert island, what games would you take to keep yourself entertained while you awaited rescue? Throughout this week, some of us will be answering that very question. Instead of a set number of games, each team member has been given 5000 Wii Points to spend on any combination of titles from the Wii Shop Channel, as well as the chance to nominate one game they just couldn't quite fit into their budget. What games will we choose to help pass the days, weeks and months isolated from civilization? Read on to find out!" -- Wiiloveit.com
I wanted to love this game. The concept—toss sentient humanoids called “Fallos” onto floating cubes while maintaining the structure’s balance—lured me in with its disregard for traditional puzzle elements. And yet that’s exactly what it is: a puzzle game with living, moving pieces.When I first saw screens of the Japanese version, called Kimi to Boku to Rittai, I fell for the minimalistic oddness, the purplish-glow emanating from everything. But the game seemed far too bizarre for Western tastes; surely my only experience would be a few views of the serene trailer and a continued wish for more imports landing on North American shores.
