Trippy Undersea Fun in PS3 Surprise Title: FLOw

I could go on and on about how Sony’s surprise PS3 title — FLOw — looks like a mix between Electroplankton and Feeding Frenzy (on XBLA) with silky visuals and pulsating lighting effects a la Rez. But this Babelfished quote from GameWatch sums it up best:

“Installing the headphone, you can play, but the fantastic picture fused with soft music, bodily sensation strange feeling good quality it was possible to do.”

Uh… wow… that’s uncomfortably erotic somehow. It seems a little too simple — in gameplay and visuals — but it does use the tilt sensors in the controller to full effect. And a mellow, trippy launch title will always get my vote.
