thatgamecompany's expansion of flOw onto PlayStation 3 has finally been targeted for release on December 19*. Coinciding with this announcement is word of a three-game deal signed between Sony and the former USC Interactive Media Division students who founded thatgamecompany. Details about the two additional games have not been provided, but Sony has reserved a space for the team at its Santa Monica base."This is a watershed moment in the history of the school," recognized USC Dean Elizabeth M. Daley, "It builds on our tradition of expanding relationships with the professional community, and opens the door for our students and graduates to showcase their creative talents in an incredibly dynamic market." Guess the gang is sorta like the Bushes and Leinharts of the Interactive Media Division. Go Trojans!
*flOw will be offered as a premium downloadable title on the PlayStation Store.
Play flOw now.

You can download a free flash version online.
It was an awesome game, it was a project to perfectly balance challenge and skill so that the user never gets too skilled to get bored, or too challenged to give up.
It was pretty good.

The browser version is just a 2 level flash-based demo. Even the demo with the dumbed down graphics is great fun. This is one simple game that im actually really looking forward to.

You have to give Sony props for pushing original games on the Playstation Network as opposed to making a retro-game dumpstation.

And, if this were on Wii, it would be called Super Mario fLOw with Nintendo mascots everywhere... thats the only way it could sell on Nintendo platform.

I remember Sony employies scoffing the idea of Electroplankton on the DS with its "stupid graphical style" and "why would you wan't to play as a peice of protizoa when you could be killing Hellghasts?"
....
And now they have this game. I think that seems to be Sony's trend this yea. "Wha, OMFG this looks stupid, it willl never succee haha....crap its doing better than us lets copy, fast!" -,-;

To all the cynics and skeptics - if you don't like it, just leave it be. I haven't heard any outlets, Sony, press or otherwise, say that fl0w is the next coming. It's an interesting twist on snake type gameplay that is coming to the PS3. It's a free flash game like EE was, that is being reduex'd for the PS3 store... Why so much hyperbole about something you've a) never seen in person, and b) isn't a big deal in the least?

You just move around and gobble stuff. Get a little bigger. Gobble some more. Get a little bigger, chase after an enemy's dots, collect dots, get bigger, chase, move chase, gobble, chase, dots, gobble, chase.
*yawn*

Every Extend Extra and Lumines are much more addicting than say, Brain Age. Shouldn't we be giving casual gamers games, not something derrived from Tony Buzan?
