FlOw didn't start out as a PlayStation 3 game, but Sony's console is definitely where it garnered the most attention after being made available as a download early last year. The game's simplistic, stylized visuals made it an unlikely showpiece for the PS3, but its inventive and undemanding gameplay coupled with effective use of the Sixaxis' motion controls made it a good option for early PS3 adopters looking to show off their new toy. The downloadable PSP version of flOw doesn't add anything new over the PS3 version, but it's a great fit for the handheld and certainly worth a look if you haven't played the game already.
The Good
* Stylish visuals
* Uncomplicated controls
* There's nothing else quite like it.
The Bad
* Multiplayer is pointless and laggy
* Only takes two or three hours to play through.

Same I have no idea why I adore this game and love playing it...It's like my gaming Advil lol
i always wanted to play this game fully i played the demo but didnt understand what was happening.
Thats kind of the point. You don't know. It's like just packing some bags and driving with no direction, you find direction along the way and form relationships. It's quite the social experience.
you can meet people along the way, but you can't speak to them. Only motions and movement.
hmmm I already own those games. All I want is Journey alone. I've beaten it probably nearly 20 times.

We are at it again, with five more music tracks from video games that will stick in your head the way they did Hamza's. We have a pretty good selection here, courtesy of the home computer - no console entries this time.
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (MS-DOS) - Finding Nicole
Romantic scores are always a pleasure to listen to: Jerry Goldsmith's love theme from Chinatown, the saxophone-filled main menu music from The Blackwell Epiphany and Finding Nicole from Broken Sword are great examples. Nicole Collard is one of the major characters from the series and the primary romantic interest of the series' protagonist, George Stobbart. After listening to this sensual score, you too will fall in love with her!
I thought it was agreed that we would not be speaking of gamespot anymore...
move along nothing to see here!
