On lazy bad weather days like today when you just can't handle the intensity of most games there is a fine exception. It's titled Flower and can be described as the classic Snake game with the exception that you're drifting through air directing the flower pedals that you accumulated by setting the field in bloom. There are no real threats and the objectives of blooming the field can be done at your leisurely pace so for me personally this game is more like therapy than anything else. As you can see above the game looks absolutely stunning from an art point of view with the bright colors and the beautiful scenery. It's enough to just start the game and see it to feel a bit more positive, especially here in Sweden where the gray days - like today - can really bring you down. This game is the essence of what a downloadable game for $10 should be - a bite sized experience that you can come back to and one you'll never forget.

This blog will soon be renamed to Oprah Blog. =D
I usually pick up bladestorm or puzzle quest. but this looks more soothing ;D
unless it's bloodlust that needs to be stilled that is xD
Violence can be relaxing but sometimes you just want to drift in color and melodies.
indeed, ambient games like these are awesome. kinda why I almost liked Viva Piñata xD
Viva Piñata looks charming as hell with the art-style so I've been thinking I should get it but I keep hearing the game isn't so great. If I ever stumble upon it cheap I'm getting it tho. =)
get the 2nd game if you can. since it's basically just more of the same, and Viva Piñata 1 could have used that. moar stuff. not saying there wasn't alot of stuff but still :P
I will also get it when I can find it supah cheap.
