In this game, you're a tiny micro-organism living in the sea, eating other micro organisms to get bigger. I don't know of any main details or anything though. It just looks really, really cool! ;D IGN's Flow trailer.

Sounds like a weird rehash of Katamari Damacy. XD

Hehe, I watched the video finally! It looks like something you'd see.... and think "this is actually a game?" The whole look of it just doesn't scream game to me (not meaning that in a bad sense). And, I don't know that it would be something that I would play, but I like it that ideas like this are being pursued. I'm curious to see how successful this game will become.

Here is what I read about flOw in one of the PSM mags I got a month or so ago: The first ever game to make the transformative leap from university to first-party publishing on a major console, flOw began as the MFA thesis of USC grad student Jenova Chen and will soon be published by Sony. At it's core, the game is an abstract meditation: guiding an aquatic organism through a surreal biosphere, eating and evolving, players collect tiny morsels to help their creature become gradually more complex. The game can be controlled with either the Sixaxis motion control or the analog stick, while a button is used for a speed boost. Players can dynamically customize the appearance of their organisms based on gameplay, and audio is a big part of the experience as well: tones are generated based on your actions, and as you progress, you continually evolve the ambient soundscape. The initial release of flOw won't include multiplayer, but a future update will allow co-op play in what is easily one of the most intriguing downloadable PS3 games on the horizon.=========== Wikipedia has more info about flOw.They even mention something about a downloadable PC version that you can get free from they guy's website. Whoever is interested in the game might want to look into that.

I think I've beaten it now....I've just got done eating a really long centipede, and there's no more fish...there's also not a red x to eat. (Those take you to the next parts of the level.) All there is is a blue-green screen with a blue dot. (Which takes you back a part.) Rather short game.
