The Chill-Out Game Of The Year!!!

JOURNEY
PS3 (PSN)

Single & Multiplayer
Rated: G


Journey is one of those great “kick-back & relax” videogames that needs to be experienced to be fully understood. From the creators behind cult classics flOw and Flower comes another unique gaming experience that takes us on an atmospheric journey of discovery that errs on the side of the spiritual. Sporting simple controls (the Left Analogue Stick moves your character, while Tilt Control moves the camera), players take control of an explorer who awakens in a strange desert world. Where are we? Who are we? Why are we here? All questions that come to mind, but are left unanswered. Rather than being spoon-fed some derivative storyline we've all seen a million times before, we are left to our own devices to derive meaning from the jourmey itself. For once we have to think, bringing a part of ourselves to the floating hooded character, who slowly walks the sands and floats on gusts of wind.


As the journey unfolds, players will slowly uncover an ancient civilization’s long forgotten history within the sand blasted ruins scattered all over the world. They'll explore, cross paths with strangers (other Online Players) who will join them in their quest at various points in the game, solve simple puzzles, and encounter alien creatures that travel the breeze. All the while, making their way slowly towards the mysterious mountain looming on the horizon. This is one trip that Guru can’t recommend enough. It's a must play for all PS3 owners looking for something different. Journey is the ultimate chillaxing game experience - brilliant stuff!!!
