I realize this recommendation may fall on deaf ears — Mario Kart Wii and Grand Theft Auto IV are already sucking up gamers’ attention, and The World Ends With You and WiiWare most likely will be soon. Okami is equally phenomenal I’m told.

But you’d be doing yourself a disservice as a lover of single player addictive gameplay to overloook Boom Blox. Don’t just put it at the top of your to-play list — get it now! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it over the past week, even more than Kart.
