New Co-Op Puzzler from Spielberg and Electronic Arts

Sometime ago a partnership was announced between Hollywood director Steven Spielberg and the monster gaming company Electronic Arts.   Finally, a few months later, we've found out just what they've been working on: BloomBlox.  The cooperative aspect of the game involves group puzzle solving.  

Fun for kids and the entire family, BOOM BLOX offers action-packed interactive activities that takes Wii play to a new level of creativity and fun with single player, co-op, and versus gameplay. Players can experience the visceral gameplay - perfectly suited for the Wii’s interactive motion-sensitive controls - through brain-twisting challenges. They can interact with entertaining characters such as the block-laying chickens or baseball-throwing monkeys across four themed environments - Tiki, Medieval, Frontier, and Haunted. Additionally, players can remix any level of the game in Create Mode using props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked during the game. Players can also virtually build anything they can dream up. Plus, their designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24™.

Spielberg said: “I am a gamer myself, and I really wanted to create a video game that I could play with my kids."  This sounds like it should be a solid addition for those with kids!
