Bargain Hunter: Please Give This Game A Hug

Kotaku AU

A Boy and His Blob is one of the year’s best Wii games, and a contender for my personal top ten of the year across all platforms. Here’s another good reason to buy it.

It’s only $40 at Kmart today and tomorrow. Give it to yourself for Christmas. You’ll hug yourself for it.

    People, buy this game.

    I bought it for my little brother for his birthdays last week, and we’re loving it. Too bad there’s only one save file, we have to keep using SD cards to swap save files. It’s a bit tedious, but it’s definitely worth it.

    Really?

    I dismissed this game as shovelware, as I don’t really pay attention to Wii reviews.

    But if it’s actually a quality title on the Wii for that price, I’ll definitely consider tackling the xmas crowds to get a copy.

    For that price, you really can’t go wrong, can you? I guess everyone needs a hug every now and again.

    I’ve been looking at this and it looks interesting… odd concept but possibly entertaining.
    Too bad I don’t have a Wii though…

    Kmart in ACT sold out of these. JB were the only ones that had any left – lucky they price matched with the Kmart catalogue.
