Journey

Anyone played this? http://thatgamecompany.com/games/journey/

We just downloaded it on the PS3 and it looks interesting. It has a great look to it!

Played it and completed it. It's great! Another player let me follow them around for the entire game.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

It's supposed to be awesome. Might get it after Nottingham.

The progeny is playing it right now - it's pretty wonderful even as just an observer. It's nice not to have the typical annoying repetitive video game music and sounds. It's quite soothing!

They do have all the best ones. That's what clinched it for me between it and XBOX.

Never heard of it. Looks gorgeous!
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Bella, it's made by the same people who made Flower and Flow, if you like it, definitely get Flower, it's one of the most beautiful and relaxing games ever (mostly) I've fallen asleep playing it countless times, and as odd as that sounds it's a positive thing!
