GameFocus writes: "Games have been finding new and interesting ways to allow gamers the ability to design their own creative space using user generated content. Recently games have been taking this to an entirely new level by making it an integrated part of the game, not just an option via PC development kits. LittleBigPlanet showed us the way last year on the PS3 and now Flock! is showing us that it can be done in a downloadable game available on PSN. This novel puzzler will get your attention, but at around 15 dollars, is it worth the price?"
