2008 will be known as the Year Of Gaming Goo. The other gooey game is Goo! In which you must surround your enemy with your viscous oozings. It looks like a fun idea and there's a new build of the demo up on the official site. Unfortunately the game requires an Xbox 360 controller to play, and yet doesn't recognise my one (which works fine with other games). I make sadface. Can anyone else get it working?

KG EDIT: I did. I suspect the problem is with reading the specific make of XBox controller Jim used rather than the game per se - it recognises mine, and I had problems with games recognising the one he used previously. However, when in game, the enemy Goos don't appear to be visible, a problem shared by Meat Circus. But other people are having more luck. PC gaming, eh?
