Today on Offworld

Today on Offworld, we rang in the new administration with our vote for gaming’s best president: the mech-fighting, West Wing exploding commander in chief of Xbox import rarity Metal Wolf Chaos.

We also saw a number of excellent looking games on the horizon: a WiiWare remake of Edmund McMillan’s visceral platformer Meat Boy, Square Enix’s troublingly addictive puzzler Yosumin, Jeff Minter’s typically psychedelic Xbox Live Arcade remake Gridrunner+++, and, above all else, Arkedo’s just-released brilliant looking firework-debris dodging DS arcade shooter Big Bang Mini.

Finally, we heard about a new homebrew creation that uses Wii remotes to teach us how to knit sensible hats and octopus toaster covers, brought down Kyle Gabler’s website by downloading his incredible World of Goo soundtrack, and, best of all, re-downloaded area/code entertainment’s absolutely fantastic iPhone game Drop7 — one of my top-most recommended iPhone games released thus far.
