Zak: 10/10
Osmos, by Hemisphere Games, is a beautifully put together game. The game is simple, stylish, clean and addictive to play. The player starts out as a single cell life form and goes through stages absorbing other life forms to grow and dominate. The controls are pretty straight forward; you shoot around by mouse click, bounce into walls and absorb smaller cells. Try to avoid being absorbed by the bigger life forms though. The concept was original enough, I found myself trying to see how big my life form could get long after the goal was accomplished. Sound effects and music were great, if ethereal. Final verdict, I would actually buy this game.

Osmos is a simple and sublime experience. You play the role of a single cell organism (in outerspace or something). The rules are simple, if you’re bigger than the other guy, you absorb him – smaller and you’re dead. This is all made more complicated by the fact that you spew chunks of yourself in order to move and propel yourself. This is ultimately the brilliance of Osmos; it is so simple to play, but the game mechanics always keep things interesting along the way. The demo is way too short but gives you a taste of this excellent gameplay and sublime soundtrack.
