Journey

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Wow is all I can I say. I have never had an experience in gaming like I have just had playing Journey. There is no story, no speech, no text, yet never have I felt so connected to the player character, and so sure of my goal in a game. I nearly cried a bit at the end. And then again the second time around. And I probably will the third, fourth, fifth and sixth times I play through this beautiful, epic adventure. I didn't think much could top Uncharted, Half Life and The Longest Journey, but Journey has just floated to the top of the pile.

If you have a PS3, buy it now. If you don't have a PS3, buy one, and then buy Journey.

11/10. Honestly.

I just bought it on your advice, and I have to say, I'm glad I did. It's an excellent game, and the whole working with another person, stripped of their name, and identity is quite intriguing.

Also, stupid robot ate my cape off. I seemed to get it every time it showed up.

I've played it on Playstation Home and wasn't sure what it was about. But if you both say its that good, I may well check it out.

I'm not sure what it's about and I've played it twice lol, but I think that's kinda the point, uncertainty and all that. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it mate.

I only ran into one inside the cavern. But in the snow it caught up to me every time it passed. I tried to avoid it like the plague.
