Fine art and fish
Words: Nick Suttner, GamesRadar US
Just like any work of truly accessible art, flOw can be enjoyed by anyone, at any pace; there's no rush to evolve, you can just swim around and enjoy the relaxing, atmospheric music if you choose. It's a sensory treat that will show off your Playstation 3 in ways you hadn't really considered before. As a truly unique experience, it's tough to associate flOw with how you usually enjoy your games - it won't give you the visceral satisfaction of shooting an alien in the face - but it's a mesmerizing, gorgeous achievement in interactive art, and should be experienced by anyone willing to open their minds as to what video games can be.
