Boom Blox Bash Party review

Last year’s Boom Blox was a surprise hit and one of the best games yet for the WIi developed by a third party. Well, Spielberg and EA are back with the sequel and it’s more of the same only with some improvements which make it a much better game than before.

So what does Steven Spielberg do in his spare time when he’s not making new Indiana Jones movies? Well, the answer seems to lie here in the form of Boom Blox.

Guess the proof of the pudding is in the eating so we’ll see if the game stands up or crashes in time for Christmas.
