Well, actually, some independent programmers made the original, and I think THQ decided to buy the idea and release it for Wii and DS.(the computer version was an engine test, if I remember correctly... sorta like the free version of World of Goo)
It's indeed not one of the best games ever, but I found it to be quite fun while it lasted, and it was certainly quite original. (something that can't be said about many games...)JEV3: About De Blob... yes, the indie PC version isn't the best of the best. Sometimes, if you are at maximum size when you are in the station ramp, the character keeps in and you have to restart the game and lose the game because you can't move. It's a buggy game, and nearly everything it's in german, while in Softonic says it is in English. But the installer and menus in English is not English, it's Germanglish.
Also, it's Dutch, not German.
Anyways, I didn't really follow the E3, aside from the first part of Microsoft's convention, which was the worst of what I've heard.
In other words, I need to stop living under a rock and get more involved in recent releases and announcements :P
