Quick: Which publisher has released the best platforming game recently: Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, or… THQ? If you guessed any of the first three, you’re wrong. De Blob bests Braid, Wario Land: Shake It, and LittleBigPlanet Beta as the top recent platformer.

Granted, all four games are solid (though Shake It is surprisingly the least compelling). But I can’t get over the fresh gameplay, brilliant soundtrack, and lush visuals of De Blob. I played it all weekend, I like it so much. Have you tried it?
