A huge Block of Boom [update]


Update: Moved video to past the break. It had a nasty habit of auto-starting and we know how annoying that can be.

Are you ready for twelve minutes of Boom Blox? If not, go listen to P.O.D.'s "Boom" a couple of times to get yourself psyched up.* The above video features the first twelve minutes of (a demo version of) the Spielberg-inspired puzzle action game about knocking over piles of blocks. It's actually quite a nice way to get introduced to the game, as the beginning naturally contains the tutorial.

You'll see how to aim and toss balls using Blox's imperfect but convenient control scheme (normally, when throwing a ball, you don't get to "lock on" first, but we're happy for the help), and what the different kinds of "Blox" are and how they can be "boomed." The "Chemical Blox" certainly look like a good time -- they explode upon contact with each other. The video also features one of the multiplayer modes: a game in which each player knocks over a tower of numbered blocks, with the numbers representing point values.

*No, don't do that.
