Rebecca Mayes writes: I'm super excited about my new show for Game People, which I'm just putting the final touches and last minute tinkering on. I'm going back to my roots - back to the eclectic mix of boys and girls where the fun all started. I'm going to be telling my story right from the beginning. Maybe you've been listening since day dot, or maybe you've only just joined the crew, either way now I want to let you in on the whole sordid (well not so sordid actually) tale.
Flower, flOw and Journey developer Jenova Chen tells NowGamer why so many game worlds fail to connect with the player, with reference to his new game Journey.
Speaking about new game Journey, Flower developer Jenova Chen has told NowGamer that Sony is right behind its artistic studios. We both want to make great videogames for a maturing gaming market and make videogames a mature medium for everyone.
PS Blog: Hey, everyone. I'm excited to be back to talk more about the Flower soundtrack originally teased on February 12, the one-year anniversary of the game's release. The soundtrack will be coming out this Thursday on PSN, and features eight tracks from the game and over an hour's worth of music, all for $2.99 (EUR1.99/£ 1.59 EU PSN Store). So be sure to pick it up when it comes out. I also have a very special treat for you. I spoke with Vincent Diamante, the award-winning music composer and audio designer behind Flower's wonderful soundtrack, and he graciously agreed to putting together some thoughts on creating the soundtrack. Enjoy!

Randall Lowe on Playstation Blog writes: Hey Everyone. Randall Lowe here with a lot of really exciting Flower news and announcements. It is my honor to be posting on behalf of Jenova Chen or Kellee Santiago, the creative geniuses at thatgamecompany behind Flower. Today, February 12, we're all very proud to be celebrating the one year anniversary of Flower's release on the PSN. Before I get onto the news, perhaps I should recap for those of you who aren't familiar with Flower. Flower is a completely new experience in gaming that takes you on an emotional journey through vivid and beautiful landscapes. In it, you guide the wind to collect flower petals, float above grassy hills, and paint the world with color and light. Since its debut, it has won a ton of awards and recognitions, from critics and fans alike, as a truly unique experience and ground-breaking game. If you missed it, here's Jenova and Kellee accepting the award for Best Indie Game at the Spike VGAs in December. If you haven't tried the game out yet, now's the perfect chance
2010 nominations are led by Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2, with seven nominations. The PS3 exclusive is closely followed by Flower, which picked up five nominations while Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed II received four.
