Flower is an odd proposition. Just like thatgamecompany's last title, flOw, it's not really a game. It's a relaxant, suited more for a 3am slump on the couch than a 3-hour session after work. More »

Though it was announced last year at TGS, it's only now that we're getting our first real info on what Flower - a PSN title by thatgamecompany (ie the flOw guys) - is really all about. And...it's about flowers! Specifically, it's about guiding flower petals through a level by acting not as the flowers, but as the wind itself, picking up more and more petals as you progress. Sounds terribly soothing. The fact sheet touts a "Dynamically Adjusting Experience" controlled with simple Sixaxis tilting. If you're all hustled and bustled out by E3, relax by breathing deeply and checking out the screens below. More »
