Play Review: Boom Blox

Boom Blox from EA was birthed after Stephen Spielberg experienced Wii Sports and wanted to use the technology for a block toppling combat game. The unlikely pairing of one of the biggest film directors of our time and one of our largest games publishers proved to be a good match. The headline today is that Boom Blox genuinely demands those Wii controls just as much as Wii Sports did at launch. So much so in fact that it also makes you aware of how few other games really made use of the pointing-waggling controller.
