HawtWired: As part of Sony's make.believe campaign on PSN, thatgamecompany's flOw is free for download until 2/13 at Midnight EST. After which point you'll have to, well...pony up the full asking price like a sucka for not following @Hawtwired. Big news also comes in the form of GTA: Chinatown Wars going on sale this weekend for $6.99 on iPhone (normally $9.99) and Plants vs. Zombies making its iPhone debut for a stoopidly cheap price of $2.99 on Monday. If Peggle iPhone is anything to go by, you'll want to pick up PvZ pronto as the price post-launch will surely only go up.

PlayStation LifeStyle writes: SuperVillain Studios, the development team responsible for the PS3 to PSP port of flOw and the upcoming Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake are true to the name SuperVillain… Like any good Super Villain, they have a trick up their sleeve. This time the trick is an unannounced PSP project.
GOONL!INE writes: After what has seemed like an eternity, flOw has finally received it's trophy patch (2.10) for Europe, giving 14 trophies to unlock. If you haven't already picked this game up from the PS Store, now is an ideal time to do so.
The PlayStation TEAM twitter reports that the trophies for flow are available now.
In a wide ranging talk at the Develop Conference today that looked at the founding of his company and the making of its games flOw and Flower, thatgamecompany's Jenova Chen devoted some time to rant about a topic close to his heart. Namely, that games just aren't trying hard enough to emotionally engage with players and that their content aren't mature enough. Thatgamecompany's PlayStation Network games have been widely praised for their short, subtle and emotive content. Despite being a gamer all his life - and a games development student no less - Chen said that the content of these games came about from his eventual dissatisfaction with mainstream games. I never see that sense of thrill any more in today's games, he said.
PlayStation LifeStyle writes: If you go to the Apps Store on your iPhone or iPod Touch, a certain game titled Aquatica may catch your attention for several reasons, one of which is the fact that it looks and plays identically to thatgamecompany's PC/PS3 title, flOw.
Nick @ PS3Center writes: Flower floored the gaming community earlier this year, taking gamers on an emotional ride that few games ever do. So what's next for ThatGameCompany, the Santa Monica-based studio behind the innovative PSN title? The developer's creative designer, the 27 year old Jenova Chen, recently dropped some hints to what their next game just may be.
PlayStation LifeStyle writes, ThatGameCompany's debut game for the PlayStation Network maybe seen by some as being long in the tooth. Not according to Sony.
PlayStation LifeStyle writes: In an exclusive interview, PlayStation LifeStyle goes one-on-one with thatgamecompany's John Edwards, lead programmer for the hit titles Flower and flOw.
