A few weeks ago I got my wife the game Journey for the PS3, it came with two other games, Flow and Flower. After she worked her way through each of the games, I tried them out myself.
Of the three, my favourite is by far, Journey, in which you play this guy (girl?) who travels up a mountain to find a strange light.
That's actually it as far as story goes. The graphics are amazing, the music is great and if you are connected to the PS network, you can play with other players.
You know what, the best thing to do would be to actually check out the trailer - which you can do here.
The game is a whole lot of fun, had a great feel throughout and I will be inflicting it on my children and friends soon.
Definitely worth playing.
Two weeks ago I picked up a new PS3 game for my wife; actually a three-in-one game, being Flow, Flower, and Journey. All three were originally released as games on The Playstation Network which means they were downloadable content (games purchased online rather than as hardcopy discs).
Playing the three games in order of release, my wife quickly worked her way through Flow and moved onto Flower, which after watching the gameplay for a couple of days may be one of my new favourite games - right up there with Ico (although not quite at the level of Shadow of the Colossus).
Using no dialogue, the game takes place in the dreams of flowers, specifically a group of flowers on a small shelf in an urban apartment. In the dreams, you control flower petals which travel across a landscape waking up other flowers and slowly, but surely bringing the landscape to life. Like Katamari Forever, the levels each start out easily and get tricky very quickly - also like Katamari, the game is quite addictive.
