Game Gazette Review: Linger In Shadows

Darkpower of GameGazette writes: "When I saw the title "Linger In Shadows" on the Playstation Store for about three bucks with trophies included, I was intrigued to learn some more about it, since it looked interesting and sounded interesting. On impulse, I decided to get it, and ladies and gentlemen, I was very happy to have gotten it. Basically, if this is what the Polish demogroup Plastic is able to do with what some people are saying is only a small fraction of what the system is capable of, then we cannot wait until this group is able to use with the rest of the capabilities of the black box, because this was absolutely incredible."

i got this, perhaps i should play it...

JoySticksFTW5627d ago

The 6 minutes that the "game" lasts is good to look at, but not much more.

You've been warned

TheColbertinator5627d ago

I really wanted this game to be a full PS3 game

JD_Shadow5627d ago

Me too. That's why I said I hope that someone hires Plastic to make games sometime because I want to see more out of them. I liked all of how they did this and how crafty and cunning they were at the effects. That definitely won me over with it.

@JoySticksFTW: This was from a DEMOgroup. There is a reason they are called that. I did wish there WAS more, though, to the movie than that (there IS an Easter egg in the game, though).

JoySticksFTW5627d ago

but MANY people thought it was a game when it was first released and got burned

Very few people didn't quite understand what they were in for, and paid $3 for a 6 minute demo and some trophies

Now, 3 dollars isn't much, but consider the games you can buy for $5 dollars a few days ago on PSN

Indie art games are the future... just not the future of games

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.

Fylus4411d ago

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.

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.

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.

sonarus5525d ago

hmmm surprised MK2 is still going. I wish they could have made the game playable on psp

unrealgamer585525d ago

but on topic good to see burnout paradise still on the list and mk 2 still getting love

table5525d ago

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.

DrWan5525d ago

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
