Ooh! I have been wanting to share this one: we downloaded World of Goo for the Wii...it is a physics based building game with goo balls that stick together different ways. It sort of reminds me of the online building game that was being talked about on this forum a while back. Ds8 is really enjoying this one as am I. Not sure how much we are learning about physics but each level is a bit of a brain teaser definitely. (What sort of thing to build is not always obvious).

He had a blast playing electronic Battleship with one of his friends from school who got it for christmas, so that might have to get bumped up on the list of things to consider for future.
