Update: Relax Edition [07/19/10]

Update
Relax Edition 

What I've Been Playing


Flower: A game that saw some serious discussion last year, Flower is a PSN game that I've always been interested but never forked over the money for. Well earlier this week I finally did and let me tell you it was worth it. Flower is one of the most unique experiences I've played this generation, the combination of strong artistic design and great sound design makes for an incredibly impactful experience.

Coma: A Flash game that I first heard about on Rebel FM, Coma is a platform/puzzle/adventure game that employs some great medium centric methods to create a powerfully atmospheric and downright eerie experience. Check it out for free on NewGrounds.com ( HERE ).  The Flash community never ceases to amaze me, and this game is not exception. Warning to those who need a lot hand-holding in their games, this game throws you into the world with little to know guidance, which is part of the charm of the experience.

News 

June NPDs: The Xbox 360 following a new redesign claimed the Top spot in console sales last month, and for the second month in a row Red Dead produces surprising numbers outselling Super Mario Galaxy 2, yet Nintendo still owns the software department with 6 games in the Top 10, an interesting month in that it was dominated by late May Releases. My predictions for July; 360 remains on top, Galaxy 2 takes #1, Red Dead Continues to sell GTA style.
