I am playing (and loving) my pre-order PC copy of WoG.

What really "takes me out" of the experience, is when fullscreen is bordered by a few pixels of the background. This happens in many other games, and can be quite distracting. Apart from that, the game is superb. Best puzzle/action game I have ever played - and I've played quite a few!

Also, any word on a boxed Wii release outside Europe?

thanks macmeister!  i've never seen that border issue, strange.

as for a boxed wii version, no it will only be available in europe.  nintendo has a policy of not releasing the same game on wiiware and as a disc game in the same territory.

It only occurs during the intro animation/cutscene usually. Cannot say I have really noticed it anywhere else...
