[PSP] We roll through puzzles and off cliffs as a big metal blob

Your interaction with each level isn't just limited to changing colors or falling off cliffs, either.You're not always the only inhabitant of the mazes; some of the other creatures, such as a happy-looking square blob named Stan, are helpful if you know how to direct them. Others, like the hungry Mercoids, live only to tear you apart. And then there are all the other hazards and devices, including teleporters, jets of air, objects that change your blob's consistency, dangerous drops from one platform to another and pistons and hammers that can send you flying off the track.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
