I just read a thing on Marble Blast Ultra, which is being sold on Xbox 360 live. Seemed like the MB games are way popular and fun.

A friend of my brother's really likes marble blast. It looks fun. You should read up on how they designed it too.

Yeah, but they started off with hand-coded, realistic physics (Frohnmeyer did it, I think). Then they realized they'd have a more fun game if they went vertical and added loops and all sorts of stuff.

They wanted to excell on the fun factor, and from what I've heard, they did a good job.

I have all of the Bridge Builder Demos on my computer and enjoy playing around with them from time to time. I even modeled the bridge I made in class in it to see how it would stand.
