The title I was looking forward to playing the most on the PS3 is now not coming out anytime soon (enough). I was counting the days till the 19th so I could play this gem of a game again. The idea of adding motion control was enough to make me finally decide not to sell off my PS3. Sadly, THIS was the game I kept the system for. And now it's nowhere to be seen.

For those that don't know, flOw began as a flash game/ thesis project and is one of those brilliantly designed simple games that makes you glad to be a gamer. The flash version is still out there, give it a go.

So why is a game that's been out for quite some time in flash form being delayed? Who knows. I just know I'm bummed out.

From the IGN site (though it sounds more like a press release):

While the original Flash project is still playable online, the PS3 version of the game is going to be substantially enhanced, with four additional creatures to control with their own unique environments to play as. The title will also feature SIXAXIS motion sensitivity control, sharper visuals, and improved audio with potential THX certification. Future updates are also supposed to include multiplayer or other modes, and ostensibly the game will continually be updated on a monthly basis. In effect, the downloadable title will evolve as much as its gameplay will. Whether or not the myriad of changes from the web based application to the PS3 version is the cause of the delay is unknown.

Between Sony not giving me anything to download (was really looking forward to flOw) and Nintendo not having anything I wanna download either, I think its safe to say that Xbox Live has won my heart completely. I just don't get it. How can you not have something that rivals XBL in terms of content, interface, and fuctionality? Especially when they both had a year to prepare.

Make that about 3 years to prepare. The online components from Sony and Nintendo barely even rival the original Xbox Live yet, let alone the 360's version.
