Game Review:
De Blob is a game that turns your 30 minutes of Wii play a day into endless hours of non-stop play. I can't stop playing this game! The game uses both the nunchuck and Wii remote to move your character (de Blob) around the screen. In the game, the evil INKT Corporation has drained all the color out of the Chroma City. You are de Blob and you have joined the resistance movement to help restore color to the city. As de Blob you paint the cities by acquiring paint by smashing the INKT's robots that have drained the color from the buildings, trees, sidewalks, walls, and many other structures they stole color from. The goal is to paint each city before your time limit runs out. There are many side missions within each part of the city that reward you with extra time. As the game progresses it gets more challenging and the cities get bigger and brighter. You will find yourself finishing a level only wanting to see what the next one holds. De Blob has great graphics and easy gameplay, which is great for someone who doesn't have hours to get into a game. This is a game you can pick up and play for 30 minutes or 3 hours, and you can play it without any thinking. This game is what you expect from a Wii game; just lots of mindless, endless fun.

What To Expect: A surprisingly fun game and losing track of time.
