The official Playstation UK website has just updated Linger in Shadows' page, by changing the release date to September 2008. LiS was initially set to be released today.
BeefJack: "Personally, I think taking the game out of games has limited long-term appeal within our medium, although some are certainly immersive. As we explore more ways to interact with our games, we’re also finding more ways we can tell stories through game systems, and that can only be a good thing.
But gamers aren’t the only group of people to exist, and virtual worlds you can explore, infused with story and meaning, could still have a very important purpose. Art games are not the future of videogames. But they might just be the future of art."
Linger in shadows was really interesting, not sure what to call it, but I certainly enjoyed it.
As a game and an artist, it makes me very excited to see independent developers to gain success through an artistically beautiful game with innovative elements of gameplay. Linger in Shadows and Flower are great examples. In all honesty, I never particularly enjoyed "playing" either of those two games but I LOVED watching them. They truly are Art.
The Dutch website PSFocus.nl has written an article about Sony and there interactive videos: Linger in Shadows and Behind the Bullet. Besides from describing these interactive videos, PSFocus also brings up the point if this is the future or not.
I enjoyed both interactive videos. Sony is the only console that brings these pieces of interactive art on the marktet. The small price I had to pay for Linger in Shadows was well worth it and Behind the Bullet is for free.
Thanks for the article! I enjoyed it.
The PSN-exclusives Flower and Noby Noby Boy both take the top spots in February. These innovative games take gaming in new directions, and we're glad to see gamers have embraced them.

2. Noby Noby Boy
3. Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

i've only played flower and it was awesome especially after an intense session of Killzone2. will definately give some other PSN games a go.
hmmm surprised MK2 is still going. I wish they could have made the game playable on psp
but on topic good to see burnout paradise still on the list and mk 2 still getting love
nobody has heard of it in the UK though and they seemed to have stopped showing it(used to be on the lesser watched channels). Shame because I love the program.
I wonder what the numbers are actually like; is it in the thousands (very likily), tens of thousands, or is spot number ten in the hundreds.
With sharing up to 5 different PS3s, how did that affect the sales, so on so forth
not a bad delay, september is just couple of days away.
urgh... come on Sony
i can see it being spun like wildfire by fanboys... this aint gonna be pretty
~I AM LEGEND now on Blu-Ray with alternate ending
Come on sony..
Well, what's happening with Life Playstation then?
Looking at the calendar, this could be next week!
