[Cialug] Linux games: world of goo

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

I tried it this weekend too. Liked it so much i bought a copy of the 
full version. I have an Athlon XP2. I don't recall what the exact GHz 
rating is, but it was purchased for low power/cooling requirements 
rather than speed. I think it is 2.0 GHz. Graphics is an nVidia GeForce 
8600GT running a 1920x1200 screen; again hardware that was chosen for 
low cooling requirements (it has no fan!) rather than speed. Gameplay 
was extremely smooth.

The graphic style and the music are strongly reminiscent of the Sly 
Cooper series for PlayStation 2.
